But, those responsible for the orientation service are not limited to providing information in the area of professional orientation. They seek, above all, to put into practice coherent projects which allow them to coach the students not only in scholastic disciplines but also, on a broader scale, which bring together the entire school community (from local to international).
A few examples :
- Join the Committe for School Life (CVL)
- Participate in programs of international exchange
