- Why Tackling Early School Leaving in Cities MattersThis paper shows the importance of cooperation and communication between schools and municipalities.
- Monitoring and supporting platforms to disengagement youth ( in french)This guide, written by the French Education, offers a list of the different actors concerned by early school leaving, and the idea is to show the importance to work hand in hand to spot the students at risk, to pool ideas and find solutions. The guide emphasizes the introduction of common devices by the French Education, local authorities (regional councils, departmental boards…) and associations concerned about early school leaving and sport.
- Strategic framework – Education & Training 2020This paper shows the importance of working with local structures to promote social inclusion (“sport is not a solution to the migrant problem but could make a huge importance in the medium term for young disadvantaged children.”) The idea is to establish partnerships with public and local authorities, schools, sport federations and companies.
