This strange title refers to the larger operation to social openness by large schools in the "Charter for equality of opportunity" in August 2005. Launched in October 2006, it combines three institutions, the EM Lyon and higher normal schools of letters and human sciences, who have signed agreements with high schools in five districts of the Grand Lyon, classified in PTA or ZUS (sensitive urban area). An operation which allowed last year approximately 360 students, and mobilized approximately 150 student-guardians. It will be revived this year.
In the program, not of traditional courses, but a program of varied activities: school support, conferences trades, workshops, output... Each student has at least a multidisciplinary weekly tutoring, and a specific tutoring session (French, mathematics club, writing...), as well as output cultural (in General, one per week). Visits to museums including took place in Paris. The most motivated students sometimes have a second meeting of tutoring, Saturday. A companion to the orientation (choice of channels, applications development, preparation of interviews...) is also organized.
60,000 euros in budget
As the budget, it is allocated by the State. Last year, the total subsidy is high to 60,000 euros for three schools. To add a number of expenditures supported by schools language laboratory available to the students, for example. "We have also solicited business", said Christine Di Domenico, associate professor at EM Lyon and responsible for the program.
Lyon operation stands however other similar initiatives conducted in many cities on three points. First, because it combines three schools what offer students opening on several disciplines and a network ranged from contacts. Then, the access mode for high school students is based on voluntary then that, more often, they are a dozen students who are selected by teachers or by a jury. In addition, dash serves students of all the series (L, ES, S, STG...). "This which has first and foremost, it is motivation, ensures Wafaa Fawzi, head of student life at normal overtime" There is no selection, and we are high school students of all levels. "This diversity of profiles is one of the strengths of the operation, according to Frédéric Dejean, a student-guardians of the last year, now Professor of letters at Nanterre:"good students help those experiencing more problems." This creates a dynamic group.
Finally, third difference, the scene of activities are alternating. In turn, students go to high schools for workshops or coaching sessions, and high school students are in schools for sequences of literature search and oral expression, language workshops, theatre... "This allows enhancing their places of life in the eyes of the students," said Christine Di Domenico.
For their part, students are engaged for six months or more, spend at least 2 hours of tutoring per week, not counting travel. Each supports 3-4 students. "We strive to leave of their needs and their applications, explains Nicolas Charles, one of the guardians, a graduate of EM Lyon in Master of sociology." Thus, we begin with a mathematics support, and then we expand on culture with Opera or flamenco...
Strong links
In addition to its effect of social promotion, operation contributes to change the look that each other. "Initially, high school students were quite reserved in our regard, observed Nicolas Charles. But the low age difference between us facilitates exchanges. Little by little, they are open, and strong ties are created.
"A normal sub, many of us are future teachers, to note Frédéric Dejean, student normal sub last year and now Professor of letters at Nanterre. This initiative allows us to see what look like our future students, as a preparatory stage. In addition, she learned to communicate with people of a different culture of ours. It is a difficult but exciting experience.
Even teachers of secondary schools are changing. "Little by little, they discover that some of their students can include a preparatory class, while they see them at best in ITU, notes Wafaa Fawzi." For them, it is a revelation.
Today, the three schools intend to restart operation, both with some of the students last year and new entrants. A sign, in any case, experience bears its first fruit: this year, applications from students flocking spontaneously, without any need to solicit them. And already, a few students who spent the IBC in June this year engaged in long graduate.
