"The LEAR consortium gathers a panel of 6 vocational industrial sector High Schools from the East-Lyon area of the Academy of Lyon: urban Vocational High Schools which welcome a disadvantaged and vulnerable community. Supported by the President of the Academy of Lyon during the Academic Committee in September 2016, our main purpose was to enrich both pedagogical practices of the EFP staff and student's educational pathways through European motilities and also strengthen and promote a European dimension to those educational sectors, traditionally not open to the international mobility.Our project fell in the recommendations indicated in the reference community policy's documents, it also answered to the needs of the actors of this professional field and, above all, to young people's expectations, students who are sometimes shy and afraid to discover new horizons. We managed to send 72 vocational school's trainees, in 7 European countries with the purpose to add an international experience to their CV, an added value to their later job research. Totally, 97 skills internships abroad had been provided when initially, only 36 were planned in our first contract. The students, often coming from modest backgrounds, found the Erasmus+ scholarship a unique way to accede to training abroad, a springboard to the pursuit of post-secondary education, or to a facilitated integration to professional life, thanks to the achievements of this international experience. The Erasmus+ mobility, connected to high-level courses given by the schools will allow young people to pursue their studies or to integrate the professional world more easily in the months following the training abroad.Our synthesis of survey measures testifies that the impact of the consortium on the target group is real. Young people could carry out internships in companies located abroad in order to put into practice the professional techniques studied in class, understand intercultural differences and adapt to them, improve the knowledge of the language and of course discover inhabitants, patrimony, cities, the culture of the concerned European country.This consortium allowed, from one hand, to launch a European opening in high schools, to promote opportunities of mobility abroad, and on the other hand, it contributed to a stronger value of the training periods abroad thanks to the obtention of internationally accepted certifications (optional mobility exams, Europass).The role of every cooperation partner was clearly defined. The GIPAL provided the project's administrative and financial management. The Academy of Lyon (DAREIC) supported high schools and acted as an interface with the Agency (dissemination of good practices, mobility engineering). The COPIL was in charge of the project monitoring (pedagogical aspects) and to resolve any malfunctions.The high schools respected the membership conditions of the consortium mobility program, they organized the logistics, the preparation and the assessment of the participants and they actively participated to the various events of promotion and dissemination (setting up of monitoring cohorts, participation at the Erasmus Days). They managed regional grants and relationships with families. A coordinator supported by a teachers team developed and checked the work program of every participant through frequent and effective work meetings for more than two years.The impacts are clearly identified and real for every actor of the project. During their stays abroad, the students strengthened their professional skills, improving their employability and obtaining skill certifications to facilitate their access to the labour market. Their ability to adapt to another cultural background would probably allow them to integrate more easily a company, in the future. Above all, they gained in personal independence.High schools developed training networks, partnerships with European companies, they exchanged innovative practices, valued their image and are nowadays more attractive. Thanks to their participation in the project, some of them, gained the ""International opening"" item of the ""Lycée des Metiers"" label. Moreover, the number of dropouts decreased and more students want to carry on their studies in higher education; also the results of the exams are better. The staff strengthened their pedagogical skills, exchanged know-hows, and discovered other educational systems. Companies contributed to the quality of the provided courses and got an opening to Europe.The submission of the application of LEAR-2 consortium in May 2019, now gathering 11 high schools which should provide 210 skill motilities over the next 2 years, testifies their genuine will to continue this adventure."
