This mobility represents the second stage of the project, the first having taken place in Châlons-en-Champagne in November 2023. It brought together the Belgium (Dominique) and Avignon (Marie and Linda) pairs.

The objectives of this mobility were as follows:

  • Observe teachers’ pedagogical practices in the classroom.
  • Set up a teaching sequence (as in phase 1).
  • Sharing best practices.
  • Promote international cooperation between teachers as part of an innovative educational project.

Program and schedule

Monday Morning (8:30am – 11:30am): Observation On this morning, we observed two class sessions: one in reading and one in mathematics. This observation provided an opportunity to meet and talk with the students.

Monday afternoon (1:30 – 4:30 p.m.): Research A co-hosted workshop has been set up, bringing together both classes. The students, divided into groups of 4 to 6, had to research key features of Avignon and the surrounding area to produce a gazette for students at Dominique in Belgium. Each group answered specific questions on topics such as the Pont du Gard or tapenade, using a variety of resources (books, maps, encyclopedias, internet, etc.). At the end of the day, each group presented a summary of their findings.

Monday evening (5:00 – 6:00 pm): ENIEDE meeting A videoconference meeting brought together all partners to discuss project progress, timetable, and communication and administrative obligations. An update was also given on communication with the Agency.

Tuesday Morning (8:30am – 11:30am): Observation This morning was again devoted to observing reading and math sessions, with exchanges between the students and Dominique about her school and students in Belgium.

Tuesday afternoon (1:30 – 4:30 pm): Drafting and finalizing The students spent the afternoon drafting their answers on digital tablets, printing them out and pasting them onto A3 sheets. They chose images to accompany their texts, either drawn, decaled or found on the Internet. The final gazette was presented by a student at the end of the day.

Tuesday Evening (4:30 – 6:00 pm): Debriefing and Evaluation A debriefing and evaluation session took place in the form of a semi-structured discussion, addressing the following topics:

  • The project’s relevance to school education.
  • Mobility and cooperation within the project.
  • The workload required.
  • Enhancing the value of participation in the ENIEDE project.
  • The relevance of “Par Le Monde” and the potential for expanding the project to other players in school education.

This mobility was an enriching opportunity to observe and share innovative teaching practices, strengthen international cooperation between teachers and finalize concrete productions as part of the project. Despite the administrative challenges encountered, the objectives were achieved, paving the way for the next phase of the project, scheduled for April 2023.
