The main objective of the "MASCOT" project is on one hand to promote academic ambition girls and boys and on the other hand of the male / female parity in areas where girls dare not commit, and use this promotion as women's employment motor. To achieve this goal, we will take benefit on the Space domain: highly dynamic industrial and cultural environment in the Toulouse region and regions of our German and Italian partners.The Riquet high school is experiencing in recent years an innovative exploration education in Space domain, where parity takes a great place. The school wants to work with German and Italian European partner schools, which share a similar objective to create a common approach and a teaching tool to guide students in their career choices: particularly encourage girls having the relevant skills to head science and technology sectors and related jobs.In the first part of the project, we will cross between partner schools our own strategies and teaching tools: interdisciplinary courses, skills grids and evaluation, course materials for teachers, tools for students etc.Each partner will be able to test and observe the practices implemented in other European cultural and educational context. By transnational encounters we will share the observations of teachers and those of students in order to produce common strategies and tools that will be made available on an LMS platform through course materials.Each meeting will be an opportunity for immersion in schools for students and teachers, which will, by attending courses, promote linguistic exchanges in French and / or English, or even in the language of the host country; all the action will produce educational benefits, cultural and linguistic.In a second part of the project, the contributions of our respective companies and organizations in the space sector (Ariane Cities Committee, aerospace companies, network space ...) will enable students to enrich their knowledge of space jobs, discover the importance of cultural specificities involved within multinational industrial teams.This contribution will enlarge their career vision, and enable them to consider jobs at European level, while allowing them to build relationships with professionals from the three partner countries.To this end, the project activities are oriented towards three complementary themes: knowledge of other European cultures, Space in its industrial dimensions (e.g. design applications, simulation, additive manufacturing,…) and cultural (eg historic, cinematographic, literary), and educational guidance through the discovery of various trades.Following these activities, in order to promote educational and professional ambition at European level, for both girls and boys, students at the heart of the project will produce in cooperation multilingual support with their work (brochures, videos, internet website, etc.). These supports will be broadcasted via Internet to a wide audience, with the communication and dissemination to European high schools.The transdisciplinary work will be the key vehicle of these activities and will, beyond the target classes, involve all actors of the three schools by highlighting the importance of cross-fertilization of different academic disciplines (literature, linguistic, economic or scientific) in any educational innovation but also in all business lines including highly technological sectors.The project's success is based on the direct involvement in the project activities of 315 students over 3 years, of which 72 will participate in the international mobility.Works from both the students side and the teachers side will be made so that they can be reused in other projects for educational guidance in different areas of Spatial such as Aeronautics, Agriculture, Development sustainable, renewable energy, ecology ...
