APPROACH
COMPAGNONS
The project is build upon the spirit of the «compagnons du Tour de France», with a focus on perfection (professional, technical, moral, cultural and intellectual), solidarity for mutual aid, protection, education, knowledge sharing between members and project realisation.
It takes inspiration from the notion of companionship (which during the nineteenth century ensured that French workers could learn a trade), encouraging the sharing of experiences, migration and community life. These 3 axes are apparent in the exchanges, the mobilities and the core group of people at the heart of the training organisation.

METHOD
Lay emphasis on revised and varied learning methods
The project is not designed to be a "mould" that will produce standardised choreographers or archetypal creators, which would be nonsensical. Instead, through fun and open teaching methods, the intention is to foster mutual learning in groups, to open minds and supply young choreographers with the tools they will need.
It is based on varied teaching methods: distance learning, class teaching (tutorials, visits and workshops) group sessions, and mentoring etc.
The project is built upon the balance between group and individual learning, and in-house and virtual on-line learning in formal and informal situations.

E-LEARNING
The e-learning is an on-line distance learning
The project encourages autonomy and allows flexibility, which is essential to be in-keeping with an artist’s lifestyle. The actual method used depends on the project : interactive multimedia elements, on-line classes and so on. The aim is to encourage on-line distance learning for choreographers. The project uses a system of distance learning that encourages autonomy and allows flexibility, which is essential to be in-keeping with an artist’s lifestyle.

MENTOR
The aim is to explore the concept of mentoring: sharing experiences, and developing career paths through privileged relationships.
The project sees the choreographer not as an artist set apart from the job market and its economic, strategic and managerial realities, but as an entrepreneur concerned with his own development, that of his project and of his team.
The collective process lends great importance to personal development. Each choreographer is assigned a mentor from another country, working in a sector other than dance, meaning the relationship does not fall back on aesthetics. The mentor is selected in relation to the identity of the partner city. The duo get to know each other by meeting up throughout the project, and keep in contact via regular email and telephone exchanges.
