Bois d’Olive high school has known a significant evolution over the past few years in spite of a great number of its pupils coming from socially or culturally underprivileged backgrounds.Opening up internationally has played a major role in improving our teaching skills and in raising our pupils’ ambitions.The first results of past mobilities are visible in the exams results, in the educational structure, in the way the projects are steered and in the overall climate of our school.The third European mobility project in Bois d’Olive high school has been elaborated by a steering committee comprised of a stable and highly motivated team and is following on from the first two projects as it is built around the positive evolutions they brought about.This project will be a stepping stone to making the opening up to Europe a sustainable process in our school’s culture as it will consolidate the benefits reaped from the first two mobility experiences in terms of teaching skills, relationships and structure and it will thus bring together more and more teachers to work on the short term and medium term objectives of the European Development Plan.Twenty six teachers of various subjects are willing to commit to this project.This will constitute a strong network of people dedicated to European openness and trained into organizing, supervising and promoting future pupils mobility projects on a regular basis.This project is to be considered as part of a bigger one as it is the counterpart of the vocational school consortium project on topics related to building and sustainable development (RH2D). These two different projects will allow our school to target various kinds of pupils and to offer mobilities to all of them.In the long term, its aim is to create a generation of pupils who will play the role of ambassadors to their friends and families thanks to their experience of a successful mobility abroad and to the creation of both virtual and actual partnerships with European countries, thus proving that young pupils from Reunion Island can — just as any other European pupils — elaborate educational and personal projects beyond their everyday sphere.The 2016 project can make European openness a tradition in Bois d’Olive high school.
