CITOYEN D'EUROPE : MOBILITÉ PROFESSIONNELLE & MULTICULTURALISME AU SERVICE DES COMPÉTENCES TRANSVERSALES
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project , "EUROPEAN CITIZEN : PROFESSIONAL MOBILITY AND MULTICUTURALISM SERVING TRANSFERABLE SKILLS" aims at allowing 82 students preparing a BTEC National in Commerce or Selling to carry out their last 4-week-work placement in London (England), Bucharest (Romania) or Soria (Spain) within 2 years . A cultural and professional week with several visits will precede the students’ work experience . The project’s partner companies are European retailers (Tesco, Cora and Leclerc ) and a charity shop selling Fair Trade and organic farming products (Oxfam). The students will work as sales assistant trainees in the different outlets and will undertake professional tasks linked with the educational frame of reference of their training : managing a department, organization of the products offered and sales. They will be monitored and assessed by the host companies’ tutors and their French teachers, one of them being specialized in the professional field, on each point of sales according to the exam national grids that have been translated either in French or in Spanish . The tutor will also complete and sign a Europass for each beneficiary and the document will be handed over to the students during the official ceremony that will take place at the end of the school year. The project leaders work closely with the host companies in both the preparation and organization of the project and in the monitoring and assessment in order to make European mobilities durable. So, mobilities are organized from one year to the other . The anticipated impacts and the expected benefits focus on : - developing students’ autonomy, self-esteem and self-confidence - improving language skills - improving examination results, success, and encouraging educational studies - facilitating professional adaptability and employability - raising consciousness about the European dimension - extending skills transfer, know-how and innovation in professional practices - sharing and exchanging experiments and teaching practices - contributing to the school ‘s reputation far beyond our Poitou-Charente boundaries - making our partnerships durable and expanding them thanks to our network of European businesses .
