WorldSkills France is an organization that promotes vocational training and implements non-formal learning activities for youth. As such, it organizes and participates in skills competitions that put young people and trades in the spotlight: organization of the national competition and participation in the European and WorldSkills competitions. Our project is part of this activity: participation in the European Skills Competition EuroSkills in September 2021. 30 young learners had the opportunity to train and confront themselves with the European standards of a skills competition and the professional requirements of their respective trades at European level. Two main areas and times of training were set up for this: a first time of preparation and technical training for the competition, correlated with physical and mental preparation sessions, and a second time of active participation in the competition.
