Lycée Paul Emile Victor, Champagnole-France

Champagnole is situated in the Jura (Franche-Comté), 90 km from Geneva and Switzerland and 75 km from Besançon, the county capital city. It is on the first Jurassian plateau, 500 metre-high. The main economic resources are agriculture and the wood industry, and there are also a few industrial companies such as industrial cutting and the spectacle industry.

Lycée Paul Emile Victor is a general, technical and vocational school, mainly focussing on industrial technology and services. About 70 percent of the students come from deprived backgrounds. The school is situated in a rural area, far from big cities and access to culture is limited.

The project "You can be a hero" will be integrated in the school projects "Living and Succeeding at School" and "Cultural and International Openness" and as actors of the Agenda 21 focussing on inclusion of disabled people, equality between female and male students but also volunteering for local NGOs. English, geography, social care, sport and digital studies will be core subjects in this project.

Our students can be lead to find jobs in foreign countries, especially in Europe or Switzerland which are not in a distance. Every year, the school welcomes a few American or Australian exchange students. Our students must be ready to communicate in foreign languages and learning foreign languages will enable them to discover other countries and learn their culture so as to be open-minded and capable of adapting themselves to the European labour market and to learn about the European citizenship.

Lycée Paul Emile Victor has been involved in eTwinning, Comenius and Erasmus+ projects since 2008. One of the key persons is an eTwinning ambassador. Numerous projects have been awarded European quality labels and one eTwinning project got a National prize in 2010. We have been involved in two Comenius projects, one of which we coordinated and participated in an Erasmus + KA2 project. We are also experienced in the creation and animation of websites. We are very experienced in collaborative work, and the team of teachers will be keen on giving it a multidisciplinary approach, combining teachers from the general studies and the vocational school.

For this project and more particularly for the topic related to the subtopic "I can overtake all obstacles and develop my self esteem", we intend to work in cooperation with the city council of Champagnole and different local NGOs to encourage people to help the disabled and to volunteer. At school, we will work with the social care students who will also participate to the debates about inclusion, handicap and volunteering with their 2 teachers who are in charge of the particular subject " guiding and assisting people".

We have worked with disabled people in the past ( students and teachers). We have a special unit in our school (ULIS) for school inclusion of handicapped students. Students with various pathologies (diseases) or disorders are integrated in classes and supported by particular personalized programmes (PAI-PAP)
