Lyrics from Here, Music from Over There is a large-scale project combining literary creation, translation, setting to music, creation and reheasal of a show, a professional recording, and its dissemination during concerts.

It is the result of the collaboration of three schools (from France, Lithuania and Romania) and it took place over 2 school years.

The main objectives were to allow pupils to get involved in a collective and international artistic creation, to develop their imagination, their entreprising spirit, their feeling of belonging to the European community, their practice of foreign langages, their oral fluency and comfort on stage.

The first year was dedicated to writing the lyrics in the French school during weekly songwriting workshops. These workshops were organised as after school activities, under the supervision of Papillon (a French singer songwriter) and Sebastien Polloni (a maths teacher, also a singer songwriter).

10 voluntary pupils took part in the workshop. They were selected according to their motivation and aptitudes at investing themselves in such a project. Alongside these workshops, the French pupils shared their productions with their Lithuanian and Romanian friends (selected according to the same criteria and in the same number) through a blog, emails and video conferences.

The Lithuanian and Romanian pupils also worked at writing lyrics in their languages under the supervision of their teachers (Vita Mèleniene and Iuliana Irina Stefura). They also started to write music, while keeping their partners informed of the advances of their creations on the blog and the content-sharing platform.

In April of this first year, the 30 pupils met in the Lithuanian school to prepare a show of songs (1 in French, 1 in Lithuanian, 1 in Romanian ) under the artistic supervision of Papillon.

This 6 day residence then lead to 1 day of public rehearsal of the show, in the Lithuanian school attended by parents, teachers, members of staff, the school principal and local authorities.

During the autumn of the second year, the 30 pupils met in Romania for a 6 day residence to rehearse the previous songs and create 3 more songs (one in each language) and one day of rehearsal and performance, attended by teachers, parents, members of staff, school principal,and local authorities. The project then entered its second phase: finalising a complete show which would be performed, sung, and completed by the a live drawing performance.

In May of the second year, Lithuanian and Romanian students came to France for a 5-day residence with rehearsals of songs, finalization of arrangements, implementation of technical elements of video performance, work of staging during and in between songs
A first concert took place in the amphitheater of the high school at the end of the 5th day of residence, in front of pupils and staffs. There followed two days of broadcasting for 3 concerts. 2 concerts were held at the Halle aux Grains in Brioude (for school day and evening public). The final show was held at the Cooperative de May, a concert hall in Clermont Ferrand, in partnership with the Sacem where an audience of 213 people was conquered by the show. The audience was varied: parents, families, simple listeners and the return of the professionals was dithyrambic …

Besides the pupils taking part in the transnational activities, around 2,000 people were be directly impacted by the dissemination of the project. It allowed each school to widen its outreach, and to have its aptitude at leading a large-scale international project recognised.

The pupils from the three schools learnt about other European cultures through music as a common vector.

This universal language will probably make them want to follow this collaboration or create new ones, thus developing their aptitudes to speak foreign languages, to become entreprising and creative, making each of them an active European citizen.

Le Projet est celui du réseau des 10 établissements publics Locaux d’Enseignement et de Formation Professionnelle Agricole (EPLEFPA). Ces établissements sont réunis au sein du CREPA (Complexe Régional des établissements Publics Agricole).. Ces établissements sont réunis en consortium Erasmus depuis 2015 et ont la volonté de s’unir pour mener à bien un projet de développement à l’international dont l’objectif est d’offrir a leurs usagers la possibilité de faire un stage individuel en Europe dans un cadre sécurisé et de constituer un réseau de partenaires

européens communs.

Une équipe régionale est chargée de l’animation du consortium et de la gestion administrative et financière du projet. Cette équipe s’appuie sur un référent local Erasmus+ par établissement. Chaque établissement

anime une équipe locale chargée d’accompagner, de tutorer, et de former les candidats au départ afin que chaque bénéficiaire puisse vivre une mobilité profitable dans le respect de la charte qualité Erasmus+ et des directives du Ministère de l’Agriculture et de l’Alimentation.

En pratique, le projet propose :

– Des activités mobilités

Des mobilités apprenants destinées aux lycéens apprentis et stagiaires des formations professionnelles et technologiques. Les mobilités sont individuelles, d’une durée de 2 à 4 semaines en entreprise. Les départs peuvent être groupés et des accompagnateurs sont prévus pour les mineurs.

Des mobilités Erasmus pro destinés aux apprenants qui ont effectué et terminé depuis moins d’un an leur formation dans un établissement du consortium. Ils pourront faire un stage de 4 à 5 mois en entreprise sous statut de stagiaire de la formation professionnelle afin de renforcer leurs compétences techniques et linguistiques en vue d’améliorer leur employabilité.

Des mobilités formation du personnel pour les personnels des établissements et professionnels associés. Ces mobilités d’une durée moyenne de 5 jours ont comme objectifs de découvrir d’autres organisations, d’autres systèmes de formation ou de production. L’objectif recherché est la montée en compétence des bénéficiaires et l’élargissement des équipes mobilités dans les établissements.

– Des activités de professionnalisation des animateurs du réseau

Échanges et travaux collaboratifs entre les référents Erasmus : Contenu des préparations au départ et de la valorisation au retour revu et uniformisé.

Outils pédagogiques construits en commun.

– Des Activités de communication entre les membres du consortium et vers le territoire
