In the wake of the mass immigration of Ukrainian refugees in Poland, where they attend schools, we wished to explore the opportunities of European mobility within the Erasmus+ programme between France and Poland. As first time applicants, together with a Polish partner school we aimed to offer them a creative and inclusive pedagogical approach to languages, notably through cinematographic analysis and the elements of journalism, for them to develop a sense of engagement and belonging.
The students developed their language skills according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, measured by language proficiency tests (First Certificate in English, Cambridge), European language passports (Europass Mobility) or self-assessment sheets. Theoretical assessments on the Middle-Ages were proposed to assess the students' theoretical knowledge. Last but not least, this common French-Polish/Ukrainian project contributed to boost their self-esteem and forge a common European identity in them.
