Project Summary

Project context:
This is a Cultural, Ecological and Linguistic exchange around Gastronomy that will start in September 2019 and end in August 2021 between two high schools:
« LPO Charles de Gaulle » de Compiègne in Oise, France, and « IES Adeje in Adeje Los Cristianos », Tenerife Canary Islands, Spain.
A cooperation agreement has been signed in 2017 and after a first exchange experience (KA219) in 2017, we decided to develop our partnership by deepening the possibilities offered by each institution.
The main and common objective of both schools is to work on the concept of European citizen through the requirements of our profession but also on its belonging and specificity (mutual support, teamwork, creativity, eco-friendliness, culture of effort and work) through different concrete actions throughout the project: “The support of individuals to the acquisition and development of basic skills by…”
– The implementation of communication tools such as the Franco/Canario Blog, fuelled by the various actions carried out in the two institutions to improve their communication as well as their knowledge of computer, editorial and linguistic tools.
– The video editing of the session to make dishes posted on YouTube.
– Creativity around typical dishes based on local products from organic farming and which will improve their knowledge of basic products
– The mastery of specific gestures through vegetable and chocolate carving
– The use of the equipment and technique feels like cooking (vacuum, varied cooking, frima oven, Thermo plunger…)
– Writing of the Franco/Canarian recipe booklet, which involves notions of mathematics, languages (French, Spanish), layout and presentation.
– The drafting of a travel logbook allowing the follow-up of trips.
With the aim of opening up to the international market and the desire to pursue other EU projects.
The project will involve 48 students (24 French over 2 sessions, 24 Spanish over 2 sessions) in total, between 16 and 17 years old, coming from various backgrounds and cultures with a matching profile with the project objectives.

To create a masterpiece in order to make them aware of their ability to realize themselves, to exceed their thoughts of themselves.
– Linguistic activity, courses, training of their peers (French/Spanish) to make communication easier throughout the project with an immersion in the classrooms during trips. In order to make them aware of the importance of modern languages and encourage them to continue after the project.
All of this to promote self-esteem, self-improvement and remove barriers on the technical side of languages.
