Project Summary

The “The future in our hands” project is coming to an end.
It was a great pleasure to have met, appreciated and worked with our various partners.
The organization, the understanding and the work provided allowed us all to carry out this project.
The European identity was revealed and the difficulties of mastering foreign languages ​​(English and French) diminished.

The main objectives below have been achieved:
– fight against dropping out of school through an innovative project
– develop disciplinary skills (in languages, mathematics, science, thermal engineering, environmental health prevention, French, applied arts)
– promote the use of information and communication technologies for teaching
– develop knowledge of European culture,
– to strengthen cooperation between teachers and between pupils,
– improve the quality of our teaching thanks to exchanges with our partners,
– to germinate the idea of ​​a common European identity and intercultural awareness,
– to promote the integration of pupils in the European area,
– personal development in relation to respect for other cultures,
– improve construction for an active and responsible citizenship,
– develop the feeling of belonging to Europe,
– to enhance the skills of students and promote social and professional integration.

We think from the views of the school results achieved by our students that our main objective which was to fight against dropping out of school was largely achieved.
For the French delegation, the baccalaureate results are 94% for the cohort concerned.

The project was carried out with the same cohort of students until March 2020 and the appearance of the pandemic.
Because of the latter, transnational mobility in France could not be achieved.
This mobility was scheduled from 03/29/2020 to 04/04/2020.
All of the planned activities could be canceled …
The students of the French delegation took part in the project throughout their entire secondary school curriculum.

Despite the sanitary conditions and the current context, the last mobility was carried out in hybrid mode.

Since the start of the 2020 school year, we have continued the project with a cohort of students entering our high school in second class.

In view of the benefits acquired by the students participating in the project, it seemed essential to us to continue the progress of the project with an incoming class.

The results are also convincing, despite the hybrid operation which is forced to recognize it less attractive for the student.

The productions carried out have made our students more independent, more responsible, more respectful of the environment, to open their minds, to increase self-esteem …… ..
All of these productions are shared with: educational community, families, professionals, institutions, media: media, social networks.
