STAGES EUROPEENS DES LYCEES AGRICOLES AQUITAINS 3
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This Erasmus+ Mobility FPI project is coordinated by the EPLEFPA(Public Agricultural Vocational School )of Bordeaux Gironde. It is the 3rd application presented by a consortium established in 2011 with 5 other partner schools in the former Aquitaine region.: the EPLEFPA of Dordogne, Terres de Gascogne, Landes, Lot et Garonne and Pyrénées Atlantiques. This school also acts as sending institution.This 3 rd application is written according to the previous experience, the results and the evolutions that have been observed over the past 5 years.Each VET entity is composed of 1 to 3 vocational schools. Thus the beneficiaries of this regional project will be the students from the 15 agricultural vocational schools. All of them have to accomplish work placements outside the schools, whether in France or abroad. A European mobility will bring additional experience and knowledge to their curriculum and enable them to discover a professional world in a much broader context than the regional or national one.This project corresponds to the implementation of the Ministry of Agriculture policy to develop learners 'mobility through the assignment given to the schools to develop international co-operation as well as social and professional inclusion. It is also supported by the Regional Council of Aquitaine with the same aim to develop professional, linguistic and cultural skills. This corresponds to the European Commission recommendations of development of student mobility in VET and it is perfectly adapted to an agricultural region like the former Aquitaine Region. The aim is to encourage the students’ adaptability and open-mindedness, to develop their capacity to speak a foreign language, help them follow the evolutions of their future profession governed by the Common Agricultural Policy and give them the required capacity to take new job opportunities in the fields of agro tourism or the valorisation of agricultural products. The project should also encourage them to take challenging opportunities that they would not consider as possible or open enough for them.As regards the evolution of the new Regional Authorities policy, it is still being dicussed at the moment.The 6 EPLEFPA have already applied in a regional consortium for trainee work placements in European countries; they wish to put together all their skills and go on working in a federating project which will benefit their students. They want to send about 5 to 10 % of them ( girls and boys ) abroad. The socio-economic profile of their families as well as the fact that many of them live in remote rural areas make this application particularly meaningful.Their ambition is to create a regional listing of participating foreign companies, to set up perennial partnerships with European schools as intermediate partners , and host their students in France in a reciprocity approach. The partners will work with reliable management tools already used in former projects and they will maintain the high quality standards through out the project.The 6 EPLEFPA of the Aquitaine Region are applying for 247 trainee mobility grants of 2 to 5 weeks to 16 countries (Spain, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, UK, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Italy, , Portugal, Norway, Autria, Rumania, Czech Republic and Greece. This will give them a real European dimension and contribute to the education of future European citizens. They are also applying for 36 accompanying grants.
