6ème FORMATION EN ENTREPRISE A L'ETRANGER (ESPAGNE et GB) POUR LA SEP PAINLEVE
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

I’ve been in charge of the European section in my vocational high school PAUL PAINLEVE in Oyonnax since September 2008. In 2009, I applied for the first time to the European Agency for funding which was accepted. With this support, the European section of my school went to England in March 2010. This is now our sixth grant application which enables our school to organise students' mobility to Chesterfield (GB) and (for the first time) to Salamanca (Spain). The students involved are preparing a BTEC in trade science and administrative management. To carry out the task and my European project, I’ve set up since September 2009 a working group in our vocational school consisting of English teachers and more recently of Spanish teachers, interested in taking part in our European section. We have renewed this year the organisation of a 12 months programme in order that our 10 students of English European section can go to England and 8 of our Spanish section can go to Spain in March/April 2015. They will undertake a 4 week internship in the workplace. Our 18 students will participate in English and Spanish online training organised by The European agency. They will also attend a few hours of language training on site financed with own funds in order to enjoy sharing in sports and cultural activities with other young people . Teachers will be there every step of the way to help and guide them if needed and they will look after them on-site on a rotating schedule for the whole month. I will be helping French students with the Spanish intermediary partner in Spain, Mr. Gonzalo Hierro in Spain at the beginning of the stay and at the end for the final evaluation in workplaces. On our last visit to Great Britain, we have set objectives and negotiated training targets with our partners in England and with our intermediary partner in Spain “Tellus Group”. The project has 3 facets : - a pedagogical facet at the beginning during preparation of work placement and during language training online and on site in order to help students in their future internship and then, at the end to help them in writing what they’ve done and learned. - a Professional facet when young people are on work placements in England and Spain. A part of the professional skills has been negotiated with tutors in 2013 in Great Britain and in March 2014 during the preliminary visit in Spain. The skills will be subject to revision with partners at the beginning of the training period in line with students’ language level if necessary. In that way, students should have a better and more meaningfull experience. - a cultural and transversal facet which is part of a promising project ERASMUS PLUS. This facet is necessary because it’s directly linked to our school’s activities in the European section when our students perform well in international tests as BTEC with European option and EUROPRO and EUROPASS; It’s a perfect match with the economic sector needs in our region around our town Oyonnax which looks for autonomous and professional young people who speak foreign languages in order to compete internationally .
