A new school model in the Moselle aims to promote careers related to the ecological transition and the social economy, while promoting the socio-professional integration of unemployed young people toward new opportunities.

The Moselle School of Ecological Transition (ETRE) works to support young people aged 16 to 25 who have dropped out of school or are unemployed towards sustainable social and professional integration, through the discovery and learning of manual trades related to ecological transition.

Students participated in courses that aim to restore confidence, awaken vocations and open up realistic prospects for career guidance or professional engagement in promising, useful sectors that are aligned with environmental issues.

Through an active, hands-on teaching approach, young people rediscover a dynamic of learning, autonomy and cooperation on a local community level, while allowing them to overcome socio-professional barriers by forging links with an ecosystem of professional stakeholders.
