A partnership between Marseilles’Second Chance

School and a primary school 

Link to the objectives of the Soccer project :

  • Actively enabling young people to behave as citizens.

What was set up?

In order to fulfil the above objective, we decide to set up a partnership with a primary school close to

Marseilles’

Second

Chance

School. 

The project:

To enable 10 of our trainees help with their homework and their learning difficulties, 10 primary school children.Duration: October 2007, End of June 2008 

Profiles:

- Our trainees: aged 18 to 25, commonly labelled as drop outs.

- The primary school children: aged 6 to 11, not doing “very well” at school and already labelled as drop outs to be. 

The implementation:

Following a meeting with the primary school’s director, it was agreed that every Wednesday from 14h45 and 16h45, and except during the school holidays, these 10 children will benefit from some support from 10 of our trainees as regard their homework but above all as regards various notions they did not comprehend in Mathematics, French and English. 

The teaching is individualised and answers the various points of improvement primary school teachers’ previously highlighted.During these “support classes”, two of our second chance schools teachers are present but do not “interfere”.  This project has also an intergenerational aspect which is a concrete link to active citizenship. As primary school children parents come to

Marseilles’ Second chance School to drop their children, they have the opportunity to talk to our trainees and  get to know them better (remember: they are drop outs and therefore, not always well perceived).
