Start date: Nov 24, 2014, End date: Nov 23, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Théophile Gautier Vocational School is a Municipal school on two sites around the Place de la Bastille (in the 4th and 12th districts in Paris). It takes in about 550 students per year undergoing training in the tertiary sector (administrative and commercial). In 2002, the school opened a double European section in English and Spanish to welcome students for the administrative B-tech National . This class, as well as those that followed, proved that the students enrolled in this section were highly motivated : they did brilliantly in the AFDET competitive examination and had much better results at the B-Tech National than the other sections in the school. The school also participates in various dynamic projects focused on the European union. Several actions were undertaken during the last years : the Comenius Project, a sales teacher was on a temporary posting in Madrid as part of the Jules Verne project (school year 2009/2010). More recently, the Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques (CIEP) selected our school for a partnership with Kingsbrook business and enterprise school, in UK. http://www.kingsbrook.org.uk/. During the 2010-2011 academic year, a virtual exchange via e-learning took place. It was helpful as it enabled students in their first year in B-Tech National to introduce their professional projects to their British counterparts, once a month. Between 2011 and 2013, a B-Tech National class specializing in security went to Auschwitz with an explicit aim of ensuring transmission of the duty of remembrance. Another class went to Dachau. One teacher has been adviser for the European and international issues (ERAI) since 2010. He acts as a liaison between the international partners, the funding agencies and the DAREIC (School representative for European and international relations) of the Paris Academy. In order to reinforce our commitment to the European culture, we consider it essential that our students enrolled in the Administrative European sections should do part of their training periods in one or more European countries. Indeed, professional mobility and language acquisition are made a priority for our students because of the internationalization of trade. They enable the students to broaden their professional, cultural and personal horizons. They are also a real passport for students wishing to further their education in a Two-Year Technical Degree, where the knowledge of languages is a real advantage. Therefore, In November 2014 and November 2015, 24 students in administrative B-Tech National should have the means to do a 5-week training period in British and Spanish companies in Swansea, GB and Madrid, Spain.
