The association L'Année Lumière offers young people aged 16 to 25, whatever their previous career path (from school dropouts to graduates without any specific ideas, including gap year students and young graduates) a full-time year to get to know themselves better, to explore, to experiment and to undertake their lives with meaning!
On the programme: group workshops (personal development and transversal skills), discovery of the professional world, an entrepreneurial course, a trip to Europe in pairs, a period of immersion (internships, jobs, civic service) and individual coaching.
A programme inspired by the Scandinavian "hojskole" (= "high school" in Danish), of which the Light Year is the first representative in France.
Social interaction is part of the learning process, achieved through experimentation, without grades or exams. Our pedagogy advocates a global approach and considers each young person in their intellectual, physical, emotional and relational dimensions.
