The school dropout and more precisely the one concerning the 17 to 22 year old population is a real problem for Europe but goes far beyond European borders. Every people is convinced that this problem must be considered as a priority within the European Union. This item is anyway an important part of the Europe 2020 Strategy.2 main objectives are settled:-Reduce the dropout rate in Europe-Increase the youth employability rate and especially for young people facing dropout.Remotivation, orientation linked with recruting economical sectors , training which includes abroad stayings will be important and innovative activities which will be settled in this project in France and in partners countries :Luxemburg, Belgium and italy In each countries, partners from formal or non formal education , from professional trainings, from business, and public authorities will have the opportunity to collaborate. Everyone will be able to put its capacities et expertises to help young people from 17 to 22 to face dropout. It is one of the innovative aspect of the project : profesionnals who used to work separatly will have to work all together ! Those 4 partners countries are facing the same problem with dropout : France, Luxemburg, Belgium and italyThey are all different but they will work on a complementary way for the benefit of young high schoolers: Régional Council Haut de France / ARML (AREFIE) réseau des missions locales. Rectorat. ID6, 4MOTION in Luxembourg, AMORELIANCE aide à la jeunesse and EPTO in Belgium, TEMPO LIBERO in Italy. The making of a testing group (120 young droping out learners) from 4 different countries , with an A level will be selected inside their schools, or vocational high schools , associations, …They will be accompanied together by teachers, accounsellers, training organizations, experts, business supports, and will have to through out several steps before they ‘ll be eventually hired.The first step will be the making of a group test thanks to a toolbox called « scenaribox » which includes :-remotivation tools-Orientation tools- support tools for young people entering business firms - tools for the capitalization of obtained skills The second step will drive people towards selected trainings , in economical sectors which are at the moment recruting. This step will be settled with the help of training organizations and economical partners in environmental, numerical, and hotel restaurant fieldsThe third phase will allow young dropout people to be trained and educated within training organizations and to go away for a professional training period abroad (from 2 to 3 months long)The last step will be a long training period abroad (6 months long) in our partner business branch. The young trainer will be followed after hiring for 6 months just to be sure everything is all right for him and for the business partnerThis project goes on well with all the actions and activities which were previously settled down by our partners for striking dropout. All those actions will absolutely be complementary and will strengthen the links between the european partners and professionals . Furthermore European mobility projects will bring a special touch to it.Everything will be possible for young people as long as we try to make out realistic projects for them, and as long as we recognize their transversal skills The aim of the project is to suggest a new model of educational course which develop a new approach for dropout problems. The dissemination of the results will be on local, régional, national, european , and why not, on international levels !!The objectives of the project will be :Objective 1 : to build up specific courses on the benefit of young dropout students. It will also give answers for business partners which are on recruting fields but find it hard to recrute appropriate trained employeesObjective 2 : to break down the system and allow people from education or non formal education, associations, profesional traings to work together. The new course will be an incentive for young people to learn appropriate and efficient knowhow which will lead to a real and permanent job . Objective 3 : to disseminate the results in a way to be sure that the new created tools will be properly and definitely be used by or on the benefit of the beneficiaries.

"The current job market situation in Europe is very unstable for young people. Especially for young people who don’t have an official degree and have problems to get along with the formal school system. At the same time companies express a big need to fill in specific positions as they can’t find the right person with the specific competences. That is why the project partners are running in parallel the project called „Bouge et décroche ton job“ in order to meet the needs of both sides. This parallel and complementary project includes a longterm internship abroad, an optional short-term national internship and a specific formation for the chosen profession. With the present ""Bouge et décroche ton potentiel"" half of the participants will got the opportunity to take part in an additional workshop and short term mobility experience. During the workshops the contents developed in another previous strategic partnership project called ""Potential4Life"" have been valorized. Subjects of the workshops were changes in life and professional career, raising awareness on their own resources, potentials and strengths as well as their own self-esteem and the opportunity to work on their self image. In 5 days participants got the opportunity to meet youngsters from different countries, to have exchanges on their approach to cope with the beginning of their professional career and education. Through the workshops they were empowered to be more flexible and being able to adapt more easily to their future professional training. They gained experience in mobility through this short international exchanges before daring to make a mobility of some months."

"Diversity and diversification characterize the student population in France, Germany and the Netherlands. How can these two characteristics facilitate and promote the inclusion of pupils in schools and their acquisition of basic skills? How can we encourage, help and support pedagogical teams and school principals who want to set up, improve and develop pedagogical programmes designed to achieve these goals? Seven partners from North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), South Holland (the Netherlands) and the Lille area (France) - schools, universities and one governmental education authority - have formed a strategic cross-sectoral partnership to exchange good practices in primary and secondary education. This partnership - called Manières d'Apprendre et de Réussir l'Initiative et l'Autonomie Novatrices et Non-discriminantes en Europe ""MARIANNE"" - has observed and studied, analysed and compared, improved and developed innovative and non-discriminatory methods of learning and promoting initiative and autonomy in Europe. MARIANNE has broadly focused on educational projects that develop initiative and entrepreneurship (EntreComp) and on approaches that integrate content (EIST / MINT / STEM) or integrate content and languages (AICL / bilingualer Unterricht / CLIL).A sequence of three joint training events to observe and study these specific pedagogical projects in situ was followed by a sequence of three joint training events designed to improve and develop these specific pedagogical projects in the regions of the partners. The participation of three universities and the establishment of a council of experts guaranteed the quality of analysis, comparison and reflection on the actions, schools and regions of the MARIANNE partnership. In two years, the MARIANNE partnership has both multiplied and qualified inclusive pedagogical actions and provided pupils with basic skills. To accomplish this, MARIANNE first contributed to the in-service training of teams of teachers, school principals and headteachers to enable them to implement effective, equitable and sustainable pedagogical projects for the inclusion of pupils and the development of their basic skills. MARIANNE thus hopes to generate an open and shared European expertise in inclusive pedagogical actions and developing basic skills."

Promoting Professionalism in Teaching Foreign Languages in Upper Austria The educational authoriy Upper Austria wants to impove foreign language teaching in all types of schools by offering Erasmus+ participation in structured training courses in the UK and Job Shadowing in France. All measures are inbedded in an overall strategy to improve quality in teaching in Upper Austria to enable pupils to maintain their ground in the European job market and in tertiary education. Teachers from vocational school secondary level will take part in a language course in Norwich, which focuses on improving Englisch lessons and language integrated learing in their vocational subjects in their schools. The participating teacher acquire language competences, methodical and cultural competences in their course in the UK. By participating in the structured training course the teachers contribute to establishing the European dimension in vocational schools in Upper Austria and they help to disseminate innovation at their schools. Participating teachers from school in general and vocational higher education, secondary level, take part in a course in CLIL - language integrated learning. The teachers should then establish English as working language in various subjects, as biology, chemistry, history and geography. By doing so they contribute to the aims of the school development processes at the schools affected. Participating teachers acquire language comptences, learn how to design material for CLIL and they train how to use EU professional sites like Scientix and Historiana. Teachers of French at general and vocational higher schools, secondary level can participate in a job shadowing programme, which was set up by the academie de Lille and LSR OÖ. With the help of the academie de Lille these teachers can practise at a French lycee. The teachers of the French language collect experiences in innovative teaching methods in French, get information about the curricula at French schools and also get information about recent cultural and social matters and developments. All participating teachers get insight into the structure of Erasmus+ and are trained in the use of etwinning, Europass and the European Schoolgateway. After the return of the training courses and the job shadowing the LSR OÖ applies a multi level evaluation plan. Firstly direct Feedback and secondly electronic evaluation by the teams of the pedagogical universities in Upper Austria and qualitative interviews of a sample of participants by representative of the educational authority Upper Austria. As all activities undertaken in this Erasmus+ KA1 should have positive impact on quality development in the whole of Upper Austria, substantial and copious dissemination activities are planned. It is scheduled that information about the school qualtity initiative should be provided in school working teams, in regional working teams, in comittees of pupils and parents, in headmasters´working teams and the informations should be also provided for political stakeholders. One major aim is that all measures taken in the programme have direct, sustainable influence on the qualtiy of lessons taught by the single teachers, at the school qualtity development at the participating schools and qualtity standard in all schools in the region of Upper Austria.

Since 2012, colleges and high schools in Germany, France, Poland and now Ukraine are taking part in a pedagogical education project combining education for sustainable development and international solidarity with education in plurilingual citizen debate , Climat_Klima_Klimat (C2K). C2K is at its peak during an annual European conference simulating an international negotiation on a subject of sustainable development. Four of these schools, located between the 50th and 51st parallels of north latitude, are in disadvantaged border areas (FR / EN / BE, DE / PL, PL / CZ / SK and Ukraine at the borders of Europe) and they do appreciate in particular the annual impact of this pedagogical action on their schools, their teaching staff and their pupils: efficient and innovative teaching and evaluation, development of entrepreneurship, encouragement of critical thinking through science teaching in an environmental and cultural context, a comprehensive and integrated approach to language teaching. The Strategic Partnership for Innovation in School Education Sustainable Development Education: Make It Work (EDD: MIW) has a fourfold objective from the beginning of 2017 to the summer of 2020: 1 / perpetuate the pedagogical action initiated in 2012, 2/ innovate by fully introducing the cartography of controversies and to renew the modalities of the debate by opening it up to non-State and non-human entities 3 / to disseminate this pedagogical action to potential new partners in the action and even to allow the transfer of this action and encourage other partnerships, and finally 4 / encourage and above all facilitate the continuation and dissemination of the action by methodological capitalization and professional development of the key players. EDD: MIW firstly brings together educational staff from four schools in Germany, France, Poland and the Ukraine, already involved in the educational activity and their project partners in Europe. EDD: MIW perpetuates the strategic support granted to C2K by le rectorat de l’Académie de Lille and link it to financial and managerial support now granted by the public interest group of this academy, GIP FCIP, the candidate of the partnership . EDD: MIW perpetuates non-formal education assistance granted to C2K by an international solidarity association and adds to it the international scientific contribution of the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques as well as the technical contribution of a university department for digital innovation and pedagogical accompaniment. The activities programmed by EDD: MIW are primarily educational activities in schools, with a reflexive and documentary extension. In May each year, an exchange of short-term student groups corresponds to the European conference simulating an international negotiation, within a relevant European or international organization. Each year, the joint training event makes it possible to systematically pool the practices and teaching tools relevant to EDD: MIW, to improve them and to jointly develop the intellectual productions targeted. Three digital intellectual productions will be developed and presented at three multiplier events: the EDD: MIW workshop, the EDD: MIW method and the cartography of controversies for EDD: MIW. The strategic partnership EDD: MIW perpetuates, deepens, develops, capitalizes and disseminates the best of the five-year sequence of C2K projects. It does so for the benefit of the four schools involved and their project partners in Europe, including their politico-administrative, associative and academic partners. It does this by facilitating and encouraging, through the provision of collaborative, multilingual and qualified educational resources, the free entry of new schools in Europe into this type of educational activity, combining education for sustainable development and international solidarity with education to the plurilingual citizen debate. It wants to become a strategic, sustainable, efficient and equitable partnership in Europe, under the sign of the Paris Declaration of 15 March 2015 on the promotion of education for citizenship and the common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination.
