• Quelles initiatives réussies menées sur le territoire ?
• Comment la dynamique européenne, à travers des projets d'éducation et de formation, peut-elle contribuer à mieux répondre aux besoins économiques du territoire et à l'employabilité des citoyens ?

A travers des expériences régionales et européennes innovantes, le séminaire permettra de mettre en lumière les facteurs de réussite et des pistes d'action à l'échelle d'un territoire pour repenser le lien entre l'école et l'entreprise.
