This project was developed in light of the characteristics of our school and the needs we had identified. Mobility was considered as a tool that would provide relevant responses to help us combat economic, social and cultural determinism, boost educational ambition and fight against early school leaving. Through its cultural, professional and personal openness, international mobility should give participants the opportunity to develop their linguistic, technical and professional skills, as well as their soft skills. For the learners, the aim of the mobility was to develop their involvement in the training and encourage their adaptability to generate greater employability. For staff, the mobility was intended to meet a need for adaptability to changes in their profession as part of ongoing training. More generally, the project was intended to better prepare participants to play an active role as European citizens aware of the many challenges they face in education, training, sustainable development, inclusion and the use of digital tools.
