📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner is a Public High School situated near the Belgian border in the department of Ardennes. Specializing in education for the Hotel trade, restaurant Industry, and Tourism within the Regional Education Authority of Reims, it accommodates and trains over 500 students. The school has initiated various international projects supported by the International and European Affairs department of the Regional Council. Since 2014, it has been recognized as a "European High School" and exclusively offers technical and professional training in Hotel trade, restaurant Industry, and Tourism. Programs include Professional Baccalaureate in restaurant industry, Technical Baccalaureate in hotel trade and restaurant industry, European Sections offering language options, higher technical degrees, and specialized training such as pastry. Students, aged 15 to 20, mainly come from the local rural area, but the school's unique offerings attract students from a wider region. The school emphasizes exposure to foreign languages and cultures, organizing contests, European meetings, and encouraging activities to promote English proficiency among students. The volunteer's role will involve initiating activities to promote European mobility and intercultural learning through non-formal methods at the High School of Bazeilles.
