There were multiple objectives: • Encourage students to identify, understand, verbalize, and appropriate cross-disciplinary skills so that they can use them in class and in the workplace. • Develop skills such as communication, teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, adaptability, and professional attitude. • To promote cultural openness, independence, self-confidence, and the ability to work in a multilingual European context. • To enable teachers to change their approach, co-develop tools, and share innovative practices. • The project also aimed to enhance students' employability by promoting their transferable skills and to embed these skills in a sustainable dynamic that would benefit both their professional future and the development of teaching practices.
Students in the AGORA vocational baccalaureate program did not always manage to adopt behavior, language, and a code of conduct in line with the requirements of the professional environment, particularly during their internships. We felt it was necessary to make them aware of the existence of transferable skills, which are often invisible in the classroom but essential to their future success. Companies today place increasing importance on soft skills, as they reflect individuals' ability to adapt, collaborate, and communicate. Considered more sustainable than technical skills, they enable employers to train their teams according to their specific needs. Thus, these human qualities become a key criterion for employability and a major asset for evolving in a constantly changing environment.
