Project Summary

The project aims at making our pupils use skills to interact easily. The pupils will be led towards a more confident and more spontaneous use of a foreign language for both their higher education and their future work environment. This Eramus+ project will involve a cooperation regarding innovation and exchange of good practice and thus it will add value to the partnerships for school exchanges during the 25 months.
It meets several activities:
– long-term teaching or training mission: exchange of positions for 2 months between Elena Gómez Rubio, Spanish French teacher and Delphine Tavernier, French Spanish teacher.
– short-term common training events of teachers: two teams of European teachers in cross-border interdisciplinarity in mathematics, literature, history and geography, modern language will reinforce cooperation and networking. They acknowledge and validate knowledge and skills through adapted varied innovating activities which will have immediate impact and proliferating effects subsequently.
– short-term exchanges of groups of pupils: one week per year for a class of 36 French pupils of Year 11 (European section and others) and Spanish pupils who chose to study French as an option. Travelling will strengthen their knowledge and develop their motivation and eventually enrich their academic careers.
– long-term academic mobility for a few pupils: Clémentine Négrier, a French Year 11 pupil in Spanish European section. She will start attending Jean Zay High School in September 2019 and she justified her demand for the Spanish European by her wish to do part of her schooling in Burgos in school and culture immersion over a period of two months. Her goal is to improve her language skills as well as her sense of initiative, her autonomy and thus, to gain a better perception of the quality of education at European level.
The project aims at promoting a coherent approach to teaching and learning languages.
Its objectives are lasting commitment, quality and efficiency in education and training. It encourages open and innovative practices settled in the digital age.
It enquires into several topics such as European citizenship, awareness and democracy. It requires the key skills (including mathematics and literacy) as well as basic skills.
It is intended for various participants, often solicited or not regularly enough ; ranging from the Year 11 pupil in European section or in French option, to pupils for whom the knowledge of a language, Spanish or French, can be a vector for artistic creativity or for social inclusion.
Strengthened cooperation and innovating open rewarding and better-quality training contribute to improve the teaching and learning of languages as well as encourage the emergence and the strength of a European teaching environment and of lifelong learning. Such a project will bear a positive and lasting impact: an enriched view of a teacher’s training, spreading of good practice, intercultural dimension of mobilities.
Scheduled more attractive educational activities in agreement with needs and meeting expectations will enable us to reach the objectives of the project.
Involvement, digital tools, the value of skills, the acknowledgement of the social, linguistic and cultural specificities incite and promote excellence as regards learning. Both pupils and teachers in a committed dynamic and modern environment will integrate good practices and new methods to improve their sense of initiative, their language skills, their digital skills, their understanding of social linguistic and cultural diversity and of the values of the EU project which is able to meet learning opportunities and vocational training.
More cooperation and more innovation help make sense, give a new motivation in all learning and increase the ability of working in international projects providing high-quality and useful results, worth disseminating and developing beneficially. In the same way as there is a 10-point charter in Education in Arts – Education through Arts, the participants will write their own charter in Education in Exchange – Education through Exchange.
