This section is aimed at volonteer students preparing for the professional Baccalauréat in the Wood Sector. In this sector, the professional courses are taught in English one hour a week. This course aims to improve the language level but also to train students to other culture, develop their awareness of being European citizens and improve their employability.

The criteria used by the institute to select the students will be specified and communicated in advance. We plan to organize a vocational training period in a company abroad for a period of four weeks. This period will set at the end of the first semester in “terminale” (from mid November to Mid December ). It lies within the framework of the 22 regulation weeks of training, but will not give rise to validation.The teaching team of the Wood Sector from the ARAGO Institute, work in searching and building for partnerships with European institutes and companies. We set up a partnerhip with: - -- The technical and vocational school Zespol Szkol Mechanicznych Raciborrz ( Poland ) and the firm RAMETA which makes the commitment to take in charge two pupils for their training period abroad. - The woodwork vocational school in Maribor in Slovenia- The Tartu Kutsehariduskeskus vocational secondary school in TARTU in EstoniaThe partners make the commitment to put us in relation with wood sector companies in order to negociate vocational training periods for our pupils, make exchanges easier, find accommodation solutions for the mobility period and be a representatives for our pupils and make mobility easier.The added value of this new project is reciprocity, equally we make the commitment to facilitate our partners' pupils and staff mobility in France.( contacting companies, taking in charge the pupils and staff in mobility, finding accommodation)These partnerships are being structured but are not yet enough for us. We wish to carry on collaborating with the I.E.C (International Exchanges Centre) from London and Dublin.We agreed with the I.E.C that this organization would take on the training research as well as hosting families for the students. The I.E.C will follow and manage the potential difficulties during the whole mobility period.The teaching team from Arago secondary school will prepare the students to mobility on both linguistic and cultural levels as well as organize all the exchanges with our partners before the mobility period.The teachers from Arago secondary school will assist the students in order to make sure their set-up during the first days of the mobility. They will go back at the end to conduct the evaluation.The mobility is a new driving force for students school career. They will discover a new culture, a European identity; different skills and they will develop their independence. Their stay in a European company where they carry out their training in a vocational sector will be validated by the EUROPASS mobility.They will acquire complementary vocational knowledge in particular.
