The project " Eastbourne 2014 " is going to allow a class of vocational college students studying cooking and service, to do a work placement in Eastbourne, Great Britain. For four weeks, our 24 pupils will be employed in various hotels and restaurants in this seaside resort and accommodated in host families. Besides the obvious linguistic benefits of complete immersion in the English language, our project aims at improving the acquisition and use of skills (open-mindedness, independence, teamwork, awareness of their European citizenship) in order to improve the pupils' personal fulfillment and employability. Regarding the objectives of the academic project (such as developing European and international partnerships to improve language skills and encourage the pupils' adaptability and mobility), this programme is going to offer our vocational college students a cultural and professional opportunity which will give them the taste for mobility. Furthermore, our establishment aims to accentuate its European identity by allowing every voluntary pupil of any speciality to do one or several work placements abroad from the autumn 2015.
