Joseph Anglade college is located in the heart of Aude, in Lézignan Corbières. It is a small rural town, close to the A61 motorway which links Narbonne and Carcassonne. It is at the centre of a basin which brings together the community of communes of the Lézignanais country, the Corbières and Minervois countries. The college welcomes around 800 students, divided into 7 classes of 6th grade, 7 classes of 5thgrade, 7 classes of 4thgrade, 8 classes of 3rd grade, 2 classes ULIS (Localized Units for the Inclusion Scolaire), 1 relay workshop. The distribution of professions and socio-professional categories is: middle managers 10% (academy 11.1%), employees-artisans-traders-farmers 29.7% (academy 31.6%), PCS (Profession and Socioprofessional Categories) disadvantaged 40% (academy 32.9%), scholarship rate 29%. The establishment faces economic and geographical obstacles: low income of families, often dependent on social assistance and location in a remote rural area. Some students have never seen the sea even though it is only 40 km away! This project is led by the professor responsible for the Erasmus plus programme for more than 10 years in the college and coordinator since last year of another Erasmus + KA229 project on the theme of transport and the environment, Mr. Bruno Lécubain. The Erasmus coordinator Lecubain has formed an educational team around him: Catherine Farenc (music teacher) as well as teachers from several disciplines (French, history / geography, visual arts) and Marielle Vichard (documentalist teacher), who can replace him if necessary.
Since the start of our international cooperation strategy, international projects have reached more than 200 pupils and enabled us to organize several contexts, events and educational activities in France and abroad. Here we cite the most relevant ones: 2013: humanitarian project with pupils from 5 Audios schools who have lectured in schools across Spain using a solar tricycle called e-care to meet Moroccan students in order to bring them computers, books, glasses (19 days) 2016: crossing of the Canal du Midi (210 km, 18 students, 2 boats) 2019/2021: Erasmus + project: European youth for a greener future.
