Use artistic practice to regain self-confidence, learn the codes of living together, find a place in society and a life project.

This is the objective of the Classe Départ, led by the association L'Envol, in Arras and Béthune, two cities in the north of France, one of the poorest regions of the country.

For 7 months, young people aged 16 to 25, out of the school system, without a professional project, with a very complicated personal journey, learn to dance, sing, write and play comedy.

The Classe Départ has proven itself, and is starting to spread all over France.
