This action was carried out in several objectives which were directed towards the pupils but also towards the teams and the structures. For the students, it aims at informing in order to prevent, enhancing self-esteem by reinforcing generosity, solidarity, environmental awareness, finding alternatives to risky behavior, promoting open-mindedness through the discovery of new cultures and encouraging interactions, creating a spirit of civic engagement and training in European values and culture. The challenge for the teams and structures was to develop skills in project pedagogy, to improve teamwork by relying on innovative and multidisciplinary activities, to discover new educational systems, to create partnerships in the vocational education sector and to create or solidify local partnerships. Through this project we wanted to develop the students' willingness to commit in collective work, taking initiatives particularly in actions related to environment and solidarity. In the process, reflection on risky behavior should guide them towards informed choices.
The aim of this project was to teach our students to become free and responsible European citizens by addressing two main areas: prevention of risky behavior and commitment in positive actions by carrying out civic actions and sharing different passions. Actions on risky behavior allowed us to work on perception, self-confidence and the notion of freedom by giving students tools for thinking about the usefulness of certain behaviors and the consequences of their actions. The work on positive actions was presented as a possible alternative, a way to follow for young people who in our schools are often in search of identity. It showed them that being active and getting involved in an action can be a source of motivation, a driving force to move forward that can be used as a springboard for the future. Sharing this experience with our foreign partners confronted us with a plurality of situations whether in terms of operating methods, approaches, lifestyles, pedagogies and led us to constructive valuable and interactions.
