Presentation
It aims to train future managers and specialists in local public action, public services and/or cooperation programs. Merging two courses recognized by local players, this Education aims to provide future graduates with the tools and frameworks they need to grasp the challenges (ecological, social and economic transitions) facing local areas, and to enable them to propose and implement solutions, from both a local and global perspective. Since the 1990s in particular, local players have become increasingly present on the international stage, developing and implementing their own strategies, independent of those of the State. These territorial public policies are still in the process of being structured, and call for new skills that this Education aims to offer all its future graduates, in addition to solid expertise in the "classic" fields of competence of local authorities.
The aim of combining professionalization and theoretical reflection in this kind of Education guides the content of the courses, the choice of lecturers and the type of work required of students. As a result, internships are a privileged time for initial Education students. By deliberately going beyond the traditional forms of examination, the aim is to enhance the value of group or "team" work, oral presentations, practical cases, dossiers to be put together, simulations and responses to orders from public or private players.
In addition to the teaching sequences that are compulsory for all, Education requires a significant investment in the form of personal work, which is necessary for the appropriation of Education content and the issues addressed. However, the group dynamic provides an indispensable support framework for individual work.
During the teaching sessions, a great deal of time is given over to collective reflection and debate, to enable students to take ownership of the themes and to enable the group itself to produce knowledge. The organization of courses and teaching methods are designed to foster this collective dimension, by encouraging time spent working together and creating multiple opportunities for exchanging the respective knowledge held by students in Initial Education and professionals in Continuing Education .
