Interactions franco-européennes: des pratiques professionnelles partagées
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our proposition is part of a multiple objective strategy: it intends to sustain tested partnerships inducing a positioning related to a quality approach - in terms of collaborative work on the design and implementation of the project - as well as it aims for a programme development intended to diversify beneficiaries and increase their number, favoured by cooperation with new partners.In the course of Commerce students' Baccalauréat Professionnel training - secondary education vocational qualification - the Lycée Jean Capelle, in Bergerac, intended to offer them the opportunity to carry out a work experience in another European country. On the occasion of a contact seminary, we got to meet representatives from equivalent institutions to ours, in terms of structure and training courses, among which the vocational and technical school in Kartuzy, Poland.We, then, agreed on a partnership mode which materialized - within the framework of Leonardo Da Vinci, then Erasmus+ programmes - by constant exchanges of trainees, placed in retail businesses, in Bergerac and Kartuzy, between 2010 and 2015. On the same terms, twelve Polish students will, once again, carry out an internship, in the Périgord region, in 2016.Since 2011, we have also undertaken a partnership with the Italian catering school Artusi, near Faenza. That collaboration - developed within the framework of Aquitaine Regional Council calls for international mobility projects - is part of the context of a twinning partnership between the two towns and has allowed uninterrupted exchanges of students placed in local restaurants. Targetting quality improvement of the project, we have intended to include that cooperation into our 2015 proposition, aiming for better implementation conditions. Eight French students will, therefore, take advantage out a international opportunity in Italy, in March 2016.Thanks to those experiences and aware of what is really at stake for beneficiaries, in terms of professional increase in value and education to European citizenship, our 2015 project allowed us to offer mobility experiences to students from every vocational training speciality taught in our school. We have, indeed, initiated a cooperation with a Spanish school and placed five Administration students in various companies in Valencia, in November 2015; as it will be the case in England - in cooperation with a British intermediary organisation - for nine Healthcare students, in March 2016. As an intermediary partner, we will, at the same period, host ten Croatian students from Prelog catering school.The next step of our project would, therefore, consist in providing a mobility experience to seven Commerce students in Poland, and six Administration students in Spain, for a four-week internship, in November 2016. Then, our approach would lead to send ten catering students to Croatia - reciprocity being part and parcel of our strategy and partner school offering evolutive prospects in terms of placement opportunities - and nine Healthcare students to Britain, for a five-week work experience, in March 2017.Our recent experiences and intense and ongoing collaborative work with our European counterparts allow us to guarantee participants the best conditions for realising professional objectives, specified by academic curriculum inherent in student training. Besides purely practical and technical aspects - in terms of workplacement approach - we also wish to favour the discovery of a different culture, a different lifestyle and a different language, in a spirit of sharing. We also wish to value the use of language skills in a professional context as well as in socializing situations.The collaboration we intend to intensify with our European partners is part and parcel of that context. As a matter of fact, we wish to capitalize on experience debreifing in order to define common strategies and work tools from which institutions, as well as participants, might take advantage, in a spirit of continuity including a clearly upgradable nature of exchanges, in keeping with lifelong learning prospects.Our application puts us in a position to confirm the decidedly Europe oriented nature of our educational project by intensifying Lycée Jean Capelle's International Action work group activites, which is dedicated to conception, undertaking and advertising of mobility programmes, as well as finalization of transnational related projects, the aim of which is to generate interaction between partners and to involve students who would not get a chance to take part in a mobility experience.
