Four schools from two different countries will be part of the “Societies, Environment and Risks” (S.E.R) project. Each school has various socio-economic and environmental contexts. Schools from the same country will make up a binomial (collège-lycée) in the same school area. All the participants face particular situations (geographical isolation as well as economic, social, cultural and educational difficulties).This project has several aims: reinforcing all the participants’ basic skills and knowledge (languages, ICT, thematic…), developing social competences (teamwork, interculturalism), education on citizenship (local and European). Finally, the project has an organizational aim as it will enable to reinforce the connection between schools in the same educational area.More than one hundred pupils, most of them with fewer opportunities, and around fifteen teachers will take part in the project. They will work during classes or club sessions so that the project will involve various kinds of pupils. On the whole, the project will enable the implementation of active teaching methods aiming at reinforcing the participants’ autonomy and at taking into account their heterogeneity. At the beginning of each school year, the short-term joint staff training event will enable to define the concepts, the aims and the actions to take with pupils. During this two-year project, participants will do research on the Man-environment relation theme from the daily point of view (ex: pollution) and this will lead to local civic actions; as well as from the more specific and rare point of view of technological risks (year 1) and natural risks (year 2). This research work will lead to synthesis productions (slide show, exhibition, artistic or scientific production) which will be different according to each school’s opportunities (age group, means, competences…). At the end of each school year, the short-term exchange of groups of pupils will enable the organization of a visible collective action (such as a flashmob) that pupils will prepare during the meeting week.Collaboration is another word that sums up well this project. Indeed, all the results will be posted on the eTwinning platform so that partners can do their research in common. The European platform will therefore be the favoured place for virtual exchanges so as to encourage interaction between all the people involved in the project. It will also promote connection. Collaborating work will create on the one hand a European connection between partners that could encourage them to take part into other future European projects, and on the other hand a connection between the schools from the same school area. All these important facts will give a concrete dimension to learning foreign languages and will give rise to motivation. Within the context of the partner schools, this project will offer a real European broadening which will enable to tackle cultural and social isolation, and it will provide a dynamic to tackle early school leaving. This project represents an undeniable advantage for all the participants.
