1. Presentation of TAGIF and partners

The project aims to transform European mobility into a major asset for businesses, enabling students and apprentices to become actors in transitions, by sharing business practices in the field of engineering and sustainable development, linked to the ecological and digital transition as well as inclusion.

It promotes transnational learning based on close cooperation between partners for the benefit of learners’ green skills.

The project adapts, designs and develops measurement, observation and sharing tools in terms of CSR impact and good business practices in engineering and ecology.

The creation of a hybrid transnational master class around digital and CSR transitions will prepare the use of the tools during mobility and may be extended by the implementation of Hybrid Intensive Programs.

The results and impact will be questioned, improved and disseminated throughout the project.

Partners : Formasup Méditerranée

2.Masterclass objectives

The transnational hybrid Masterclass, made possible through a close partnership between the teams and instructors of IMH, enables the construction of an inclusive program designed to better address the challenges of digital and ecological transitions, as well as inclusion.

Apprentices and students from Formasup Méditerranée, IMH, and IPS actively test and co-develop the tools created within the TAGIF project. In doing so, they prepare to use these tools during their international mobility to observe good professional practices related to ecological and digital transitions, and inclusion, throughout their internships abroad.

Their perspectives contribute to the development of tools that are as relevant and practical as possible—closely aligned with their realities and those of businesses—ensuring usability and impact.

The Masterclass offers a variety of pedagogical approaches to enhance learning and ownership.

It emphasizes experiential learning, co-construction, group work, and creativity.

Oier Uriarte, Iker Altuna, Monika Ezenarro – IMH Campus

Duration:
2h30

Format:
Workshop

Objectives:

Foster teamwork, effective communication, and collective reflection, encouraging participants to exchange perspectives on digital challenges and opportunities across sectors.
Develop practical problem-solving and strategic design competencies through the co-creation of digitalization grids tailored to different sectoral and organizational contexts.

Description:
This practical workshop enables students to apply theory to practice by evaluating the digital maturity of a company using the “6 axes” analysis framework. First, participants will conduct an individual diagnosis, then work in sector-based groups (industry, inclusion, ecological transition) to co-create sectoral digitalization grids. The session culminates in the collaborative construction of a general digitalization matrix that integrates the different sectoral perspectives. Activities include guided reflection, group work, and collaborative design using both analog and digital tools.

They will become familiar with key digital challenges in different sectors and some strategies to address them.
They will collaborate to create practical digitalization grids that can be adapted to various contexts and industries.

Intercultural Workshop

Title of the Activity:

Cross-Cultural Communication Workshop

Facilitator(s):

Julie MAIFFRET, Polytech Nice Sophia

Lisa TAVERNA, Polytech Nice sophia

Chloé TOVAR, Polytech Nice Sophia

Duration: 2h00

Format: Workshop

Objectives:

Objective 1 : Develop intercultural awareness
Objective 2 : Improve intercultural communication skills
Objective 3 : Strengthen the ability to work effectively across cultures
Objective 4 : Prepare students for study abroad programs or international careers.

Description:

WORLD MAP: Participants will imagine a world map on the floor. We’ll ask them questions, and they will simultaneously move around this imaginary map based on their answers. The questions could relate to their mobility experiences (past or future), cultural understanding, or even stereotypes about different countries. After each question, we will ask participants why they chose that particular country and briefly debrief with them.

THEATRE GAME: Participants will be divided into small groups (for exemple, four students per group). Two of them will face a challenging situation and must explain the problem to the other two, who will offer advice on how to resolve it. However, they won’t be allowed to use a language they all understand—they can use a foreign language, invent one, or rely on gestures. We will prepare scenarios in advance, focusing on everyday situations, mobility experiences, workplace interactions, and more. This game will help us explore communication (verbal and non-verbal), conflict resolution, inclusion, and cultural differences.

Expected Outcomes:

By physically placing themselves on the “map,” participants visualize global diversity and examine how they relate to different regions or cultures.
Participants practice expressing their views and explaining the reasoning behind their choices, fostering intercultural dialogue.
Participants learn to rely on gestures, tone, and creativity to convey meaning without a shared language.
By simulating intercultural misunderstandings or dilemmas, participants explore inclusive and respectful ways to resolve tension.
Working in small, creative teams fosters collaboration and mutual support among participants from diverse backgrounds.

Inclusion good practises Observation Grid team activity

Facilitator(s):
Jade Peyre Hugo Larroque Julie Delaby Marina Fructus

Duration:
2 heures

Format:
Team work

Objectives:

Objective 1 Gain a deeper understanding and ownership of inclusion-related themes.
Objective 2 Provide a detailed description of good practices observed in the field of inclusion

Description:
In 7 sub-groups, participants work on a theme related to inclusion and provide a detailed description of around ten actions they have observed being implemented in companies

Expected Outcomes:

Participants will feel more confident in observing good practices, identifying the conditions for success, analyzing the behaviors involved, and describing them in detail to facilitate sharing and replication.
They contribute to the development of the observation grid that they will use during their mobility experience.
