They provide an opportunity for young people under the age of 23 to carry out a top-level technical demonstration of their skills in public. The range of activities is vast, ranging from woodworking to computer graphics, not forgetting the automotive sector or baking and confectionery. Since 2010, disabled people can also participate in this competition, with no age restrictions. This is therefore a useful tool for raising the status of training and learning and that of the various professions of the Aquitaine region, bringing together the economic sector, youth employment and training providers. This project attracted 300 young competitors and 25,000 visitors in Aquitaine. « Le but du jeu c'est de montrer son métier, comment on l'exploite, ce qu'on est capable 20 de fairepiades.aquitaine.fr » Une participante.n 28 - Sam 29 MARS sam14 edi olym Ve 9h/21h le vendre Regional council of Aquitaine Aquitaine tion THE «COMPETITIVENESS» AND «CONVERGENCE» OBJECTIVES R°V°olympiade2014_GP.indd 1 08/01/14 17:15 14 % 47 % € 440.3 M € 440.3 M Percentage of the total ERDF programming for the competitiveness objective devoted to the theme of "Developing human capital" Percentage of the total ERDF programming for the convergence objective devoted to the theme of "Developing human capital" Over the 2007-2013 period, 182 projects were supported by the ERDF as part of the competitiveness objective (in metropolitan France) and the convergence objective (in the outermost regions - OMR), including 173 in the regions of metropolitan France. This theme was one of the priorities for the ESF's 2007-2013 programming period. A total of 6,717 projects were implemented in metropolitan France and 945 in the OMR making a total of 7,662 projects in all for the period, i.e. just over 1,000 projects per year. On average, European Union support per project for the ESF was €103,000 for projects in metropolitan France and €466,000 in the OMR. In metropolitan France, 14% of the ESF budgetary envelope was programmed for the «development of human capital» theme, making a total of €692.1 million. This chiefly concerned measures aimed at increasing participation in education and lifelong training, particularly through activities aimed at reducing the school dropout rate and sexual discrimination, which were supported in these regions (€561.66 million of ESF funding). In the outermost regions, these activities were also very much in the majority (accounting for €411.88 million programmed, i.e. 93% of the theme) with 47% of the ESF budgetary envelope allocated to this theme, i.e. slightly more than €440 million. 3 2
