Project Summary

The main objective of the project is a school exchange partnership. It is entitled “Specific insular productions, specific culture: how to promote a cultural heritage?”. It involves 3 high schools in Corsica, Guadeloupe and Sardinia who meet the same issues related to insularity, employment, and disappearance of regional dialects (languages) as well as a tendency of closing on oneself and social immobility due to the isolation caused by insularity. This project aims at employment in and out of the islands, the social and economic inclusion of insular populations through the promotion of cultral and traditional heritage, meaning the creation of enterprises based on agricultural productions, the promotion of the cultural heritage ( language and patrimony). this heritage enriches the life of the citizens, and constitutes an important asset in the sectors of economy, culture and creation.It also contributes to the developement of the social capital of Europe. It is an important resource for the economic growth and social cohesion: it also allows to revitalize remote rural aeras and to promote a sustainable way for tourism when islands are vicitms of mass tourism. This project is intended for a high school public aged 15 to 18 in general, technical and/or vocational education. It is also intended for learners with special needs, and aims at an openness towards others , diversity, a general acceptance of cultural, personal and linguistic differences and a european citizenship. It is also intented for teachers through an educational activity on sustainable employment on islands, but also for local enterprises who ignore what their neighbouring high schools offer in terms of vocational education. Eventually, this project is in line with the actions of animation and developement of the territories through the promotion of the cultural heritage and its orientation towards the creation of employments. Finally, this project will allow students to acquire and develop skills in languages, and vocational education thanks to the mastery of the techniques of communication and information.
