Actions
* European Day of Languages
One afternoon per year can be dedicated to opening up to another international language with linguistic and workshops, then to cultural, sporting or relaxation workshops related to other countries. 
* Erasmus Days

Our high school celebrates an Erasmus Day every year for learners to raise awareness of the Erasmus program and encourage mobility abroad. Depending on the year, we have foreign trainees host part of this day to present in their own language or in English their country of origin, its gastronomic specialties and culture.
Thanks to the Erasmus ECHE charter for higher education 2021-2027, we welcome Georgian interns to the wine estate, in class and include them in our "Erasmus Days", days of awareness and information about the Erasmus programme, and intercultural sharing.
* The European Youth Parliament

The EYP intervenes to have our students debate with volunteers on current European subjects to work on citizenship, argumentation and open-mindedness.
* The Alimenterre festival

This multilingual documentary festival, focused on family, peasant or local farming, focuses on economic, environmental and social transitions.
It supports sustainable agriculture and food systems that respect people, territories and biodiversity in diverse environments and countries around the world.
Each year between mid-October and the end of November, we offer a selection of documentaries and short films to our learners. An evening for interns or for our foreign interns can take place and allow for discussions on food, agriculture or sustainable development in the world.
* Internships abroad
The High School offers its motivated learners in BTSA, 1ère Conseil Vente in European section, 1ère Vigne et Vin or 1ère STAV to complete an internship abroad.
