Project Summary

Two vocational high schools, a French and a Spanish one, have decided to work together on an issue dear to them which is to include disable people to every day’s life. The idea is to make furniture that can be adapted to the people with reduced mobility so that they can be an answer to their own ergonomic constraints.
The work of the pupils of both schools will be complementary. The wooden and metal structures will be conceptualised and made by the French high school. The Spanish high school will be in charge of the creation of the motorization of the movements.made in the local press but also through television reports.
These young people in vocational training schools are well aware that the lessons closely linked to the job they are learning are useful. It is less obvious for them when they are taught general education. Language learning belongs to general education. The project will enable these young people to get more involved in the learning of foreign languages.
Working on the subject of the inclusion of disable people gives these students a chance to become actors in their society. Moreover connecting French and Spanish students will stir their curiosity and help them to become European citizens. This project becomes meaningful for their studies since it develops interdisciplinarity.  Vocational and linguistic teachings, as well as applied arts and environmental- health- prevention lessons will be necessary.
The pupils concerned are the vocational training certificate levels (CAP) and the BTEC vocational high school diploma (BAC PRO) for the French and High National diploma (BTS) levels for the Spanish students. They will be 11 per school.
At the beginning of the program, meetings are planned to estimate the needs and suggest the achievements that will be selected. A disabled person organization (MDPH, l’ASH et l’APF France handicap) will support us at this moment of the project. A visit to a disability exhibition will also help to identify the specific needs. Students will exchange design files during the studying step. Then they will meet again to start the orders and plan the manufacturing.
At the end of the project, the achievements will be shown to specialised exhibitions, during the open house days in high schools. Local press and television reports will cover the events.
