"This project ""Discovering new beauty treatments abroad"" brought together two vocational high schools, one French, the vocational high school Saint Joseph l'Amandier, and the other Finnish, the school TAI in Turku, around a common training course, beauty care, and a partnership for school exchanges. Initially planned for the two school years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, these exchanges were finally carried out only during the school year 2021-2022 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the French pupils involved in this project were in vocational first year in 2019-2020 and therefore in vocational third year in 2021-2022. For the Finnish pupils, it was different because the pupils involved in 2019-2020 were not involved in 2021-2022. It was therefore new pupils who participated in the exchanges.Despite this, the objectives and priorities of the project have remained the same. These are : to include the pupil in a European citizenship programme from the moment he/she enters secondary school through different subject areas and to promote his/her professional integration by improving his/her language skills. The objectives set were achieved thanks to the implementation of the various project activities. Only the planned timetable was disrupted, but the good relationship between the schools allowed for a good adaptation.The participating organisations are two vocational high schools : with approximately 400 students enrolled each year, the Saint Joseph l'Amandier vocational high school offers several courses : hotel and restaurant management, sommellerie, bakery and pastry-making, and beauty care. It prepares students for the French CAP qualification (NVQ equivalent) and an A Vocational Baccalaureate (A level) in all these fields. Since 2004, European mobility has been offered to students in the final year of the A Vocational Baccalaureate. Thus, each year, about fifty students go abroad for their professional training. This desire to open up to Europe has led to the signing of a partnership with the Turku Vocational Institute. This is a very important vocational school in Turku and in Finland. It offers 26 different vocational qualifications to 4,000 students and 6,000 adult learners and offers European and international mobility to around 100 students each year. The project thus brings together two professional establishments around the same training: beauty care.Various activities were implemented as part of this project. The two main ones were exchanges of groups of pupils. During one week in October 2021, the French pupils were able to discover the TAI establishment, its beauty care training and the Finnish culture. And during one week in January 2022, the Finnish students discovered the French beauty care and the culture of the country. It was a very fruitful exchange even if the pandemic and the school calendar of the year 2021-2022 of the vocational third year students did not allow to optimize it. However, following the first exchange in October 2021, educational activities were set up in November-December, such as feedback on the chocolate and mud wraps done in Finland.The results of this project were generally achieved. Following the two exchanges, a self-evaluation highlighted the success of the partnership. Indeed, a large majority of the pupils said that the project had increased their sense of European citizenship and given them the desire to travel and work abroad. In addition, these pupils improved their professional and linguistic skills, which increased their motivation for the rest of their schooling up to the vocational third year. For some students, this partnership has helped to prevent them from dropping out of school, a theme addressed in this project. Another result achieved was the influence of this project within the school. Even if the pandemic has frozen European mobility during the 2020-2021 school year, the ErasmusDays organised in 2020 and 2021 within the school have highlighted this partnership and have accentuated the European openness of the school's students.The impacts - benefits identified are, on the one hand, an increase in the number of students who wish to continue their studies in BTS, post A level Vocational Training Certificate, with the possibility of an internship abroad. On the other hand, this project has led to an increase in the number of European mobilities of students in beauty care training for the 2022-2023 school year, especially since new internship locations have been created thanks to this partnership. Finally, an increase in the number of students in the European section was identified during the last pre-registrations."
