At the heart of this project lies a strong partnership between the educational and industrial actors to produce digital resources, both representative of the sector and meaningful to students.

The method chosen to create these resources ensures that the needs and constraints of every actor are taken into account at every stage of the production process. The project team gathers representatives from the industrial sector, teachers and the school inspectorate. Discussing the specific needs of a given branch of industry in improving its image paves the way for the definition of themes and the drafting of deliverables.

Further in the production process, the resources are subject to a two-level validation:

  • By the steering committee, to make sure that they are in keeping with the expectations of industrials partners
  • By the school inspectorate, to guarantee their relevance with regard to the curriculum 

The promotion of these resources is a key step in the coproduction process. It implies a close collaboration between educational and industrial actors, materialized in the form of videos released on industrial partners’ websites or training for the educational communities.

The relevance of this approach is reasserted for each new project and needs to move up to a new dimension, hence the creation of the Foundation for Education and Industry.
