Licence pro 2020 English course

The AIMS of the English course are to:

• improve your English communication skills;
• learn about and discuss the sustainable development policies and actions at international (UN SDGs), national (France), and regional (Auvergne) levels;
• improve your organisational abilities (group and individual work; respect of deadlines; complete and thorough research and assignments; efficiency: time/work load/effort/usefulness of task);
• practice your leadership skills: manage a work group (give clear instructions and follow them up), attend leaders' meetings, be a source of proposals, organize your group's work and help/encourage individual members;
• work on your self-assurance (adopt a positive attitude: "be the best you can be!");
• work on your social skills (politenesss, dress code, respect of rules and hierarchy, knowing what you can say and how to say it, etc.);
• anticipate the professional context: relate your knowledge and skills and human qualities to your future job, respect the rules, actually do what you say you are going to do, on time and to the best of your abilities, + improve practical skills like phoning and letter-writing;
• practice your analytical/problem-solving skills (adopt a pragmatic approach to determine what is feasible);
• practice using your imagination and creativity (your job as a development worker will be to come up with new ideas and to set up projects!);
• exercise your moral sense (discuss what is good, what is bad, why, and what should/can be done about it?, and be committed to sustainable development causes/projects/organizations.

The MEANS to achieve those aims are:

• Discuss documents on the UN sustainable development goals (especially "NO POVERTY" + "ZERO HUNGER" + "CLIMATE ACTION") and on regional and local sustainable development projects.
• Project-building (work group missions): set up a LPDD student association.
• CV + application for an internship abroad (for those who need it).
• "How to give a great talk" (teacher's advice).
• Video 1-minute speeches in answer to the question: "What can we, young Europeans, DO to help save the planet?!"
• Volunteering to hold the LPDD stall at the Europe Day Youth Forum.
