Project Summary

Our students’ needs and motivations are changing.
In order to fight against the school dropout rate of some students, the lack of motivation of others, the reserve or disinterest of some parents and the increasing number of incivilities, we have chosen to make our high school students more involved in their training by participating in this European project.
In addition, we feel that some of our students are withdrawn from others, that there is a lack of openness to others that calls to mind. The parallel with the current evolution of the European project seems obvious to us.
The exit of the United Kingdom, the rise of nationalism in the EU, as well as the current reluctance to welcome migrants fleeing from war zones are also explicit. It therefore seems appropriate to make our students aware of the harmful speeches conveyed by public opinion, to make them think about the basics that have made it possible to forge this construction and see its benefits.
This project aims to promote the intangible cultural heritage (oral traditions, customs and traditions, folklore, language styles, etc.) of life and values), natural heritage (natural sites, natural monuments) and tangible cultural heritage (monuments, buildings …). Students will explore their cultural heritage by analyzing its meaning and significance, they will think about similarities as well as differences.
This project aims to promote intangible cultural heritage, natural heritage and tangible cultural heritage. Students will explore their cultural heritage by analyzing its meaning and importance; they will thus reflect on the similarities and differences of Europe of yesterday and today. It will also be an extension of the identification of European citizenship and what the EU is.
This project will allow our students to:
– awaken their European conscience
-reflect on European citizenship and its values
-understand the characteristics of Europe and that the other is a source of wealth
-identify European culture
– cultivate respect, tolerance towards our different cultures
-develop transversal skills such as self-confidence, motivation in relation to learning situations, verbalization as a mode of expression of one’s emotions
– validate both formal and informal learning
– acquire the ability to interact with partner students through the use of foreign languages
– giving new meaning to school or training by upgrading the school curriculum in which they are engaged in the eyes of our students
– regain self-confidence, have a positive image, the taste, the desire to progress
– To arouse desires: to travel, to study or work in the EU
– make you want to collaborate with people from other countries
To achieve these ends we will use different strategies:
– At the launch of the project, students from 5 schools:
will take a quiz on their knowledge of the EU and a survey on European citizenship
will analyze different documents on the EU chosen in advance by teachers from the 5 countries
they will fill out online questionnaires
– We will encourage interaction between the students of the 5 schools before, during and after the mobility. Joint activities via-eTwinning will be organized, joint work will be prepared in advance before each mobility.
– Working groups of 10 students from different countries will be set up to facilitate joint work during and outside mobility.
– regular communication with families to involve them in their child’s project.
– creation of an eTwinning project which will allow pupils to better consider their citizenship and belonging to the European community, will accentuate the learning of languages and the discovery of other cultures. The peculiarity: even students who do not benefit from mobility will feel invested
The students involved in this project are for a large part from rural, modest or even disadvantaged backgrounds, failing or dropping out of school (on average 25% of enrollment or more), many scholarship students (around 45%) and from immigration. Without this European funding, they will never have the chance to travel and see what is going on in other EU countries.
The establishments will constitute pairs of pupils (failing or dropping out of school and succeeding), this diversity within the establishments will be a source of enrichment and will contribute to establishing a spirit of mutual aid conducive to combating school demotivation. experience students will be solicited around different events, in order to highlight the European dimension of the project, for example during Europe days, Erasmus Days, open days in their establishments and in their cities.
This project will allow the students of the 5 schools to acquire a better knowledge of the EU and the awareness of being full European citizens, we are all convinced of this.
The results of this project will be presented to different communities and put online for better visibility.
