Education, training and youth activities remain a pillar for ensuring social inclusion. The choice of French as a subject at school or college, or at least the ability to master it effectively, tends to diminish, especially when it’s perceived as potentially posing additional problems in both social and professional development and integration. Teachers from five educational establishments pose the question why students are less interested in learning French. To provide an answer and to encourage the learning of French, pupils from five schools in different parts of Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, France, Italy and Portugal) propose, as part of a strategic partnership on the exchange of good practices in the field of education, to become "Young ambassadors of the French language and culture abroad”. The aim of our project is to find innovative solutions and to motivate students to want to learn French at a more advanced level. The implication will be not only be an opening up towards a multilingual and multicultural Europe but also an opening up towards oneself.
