Learners: to enable them to gain self-confidence, regain self-esteem, become more self-reliant, learn to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, to handle the target language with greater ease in order to communicate with users, to familiarise themselves with other approaches to user services (hygiene rules, standards, practices, etc.), to envisage exercising their future profession in an international environment, to continue their studies. Staff : 1. building a co-educational relationship with families: working with them to help their children become autonomous and to promote interculturality. 2. Discovering new professional practices and introducing them into their teaching, encouraging vocational teaching in a foreign language, creating a team spirit within each institution and within the consortium, for the institutions: to participate in their influence among professionals, to better identify the international field of human services professions, to fight against social and gender determinism. Academy: to link the territory in terms of international projects, to enable the most isolated high schools to join a consortium.
The project is an academic consortium of 15 vocational high schools, located in the 3 departments (Ain, Rhône, Loire), bringing together the four human services streams from CAP to BAC PRO. New high schools benefit from the support of experienced high schools. The mobility activities were aimed at a group of fragile students with very little mobility, mostly girls. The obstacles to mobility are cultural, and the pupils often their chosen subject because of the geographical proximity of the school. The internationalisation of the personal services sector (structures established in seaside resorts, spas, winter sports resorts, cruise ships) makes a mobility experience a first step towards exercising this profession in a tourist environment. The mobility activities were aimed at motivated staff to enrich their professional practices and instil a European spirit in their teaching and establishment. Moreover, the cultural approaches to the service provided to the elderly and people with disabilities differ from one country to another. Observing and appropriating them is a real enrichment of the professional practices of both staff and learners.
