Association

Réussir Moi Aussi is a French nonprofit set up in April 2008 to support young people in high schools or on professional integration programs by rekindling their motivation and providing vocational guidance.

Project

Réussir moi aussiFor this project, the nonprofit set up a group support program for three first-year classes at the Auguste Blanqui technical high school in Saint-Ouen. After observing the difficulties encountered by the young people in the transition from junior to senior high school, it organized a three-stage program for the first term – from September to December 2010 – to combat absenteeism and loss of motivation among these students:

  • Stage 1: A seminar to build class spirit: a half-day session for each class with a team leader to speed up the process of integration for all the children in the class.
  • Stage 2: Provide support mechanisms to back up the teaching team: individual accompaniment depending on the student’s needs, formulating a “contract” of goals…
  • Stage 3: Group support provided by professional coaches, in six two-hour sessions. This stage is designed to encourage expression of individual or group difficulties arising in the class, discuss the professional objectives of each student and create the conditions for mutual support between classmates, with the help of teachers and other school professionals. The Accor Foundation intervened to support this final stage of the project.
