"""Strengthening equality, diversity and Inclusion for an Intercultural European Education"" is a school partnership between six high schools from Croatia, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey.Through SWOT analysis in all partner schools we concluded that today's young people show little concern for others, little empathy for the problems of others and are unwilling to integrate and tolerate those who are different. Since Erasmus+ programme aims at promoting equity and inclusion this project should stimulate the ethical, social and civic competences that are conveyed throughout our civilization. The objective of the project is to enhance the acquisition of social and civic competences, foster knowledge, understanding and ownership of fundamental values, promote mutual respect and intercultural dialogue and combat discrimination on all grounds. The project consists of six subtopics, namely gender equality, intercultural communication, bullying, European values, solidarity and social integration. Through these topics we want to reinforce these values and foster respect, appreciation of diversity, understanding of shared goals and strengthening a sense of belonging to a community in which all are included. At the end of the project we want to create a Digital Handbook of Social Inclusion in Schools , which will contain all materials developed in the project(learning scenarios, dramatizations, short documentaries...) and throughout the project we want to organize six events, namely Raising Awareness Days on given subtopics.This project is mainly aimed at students who are facing difficulties (educational, physical, emotional, economic, cultural, social) that we want to motivate by providing a meaningful and concrete learning context that promotes awareness of values of equality, diversity, inclusion, solidarity and interculturality, while helping to acquire skills and reduce disparities in learning outcomes. This project supports inclusive education models that not only benefit disadvantaged students, but also create an environment in which every student has the opportunity to succeed. Around 40 students from each school will be directly involved in the project and the other students from school will be involved in other activities such as eTwinning events, raising awareness days and similar. There will be five short-term student exchanges and one staff training event. Before and after each LTT activity there will be blended learning activities on eTwinning, such as preparing questionnaires for the subtopics, organising raising awareness days, sharing ideas and materials... Also, there will be eTwinning live events and a lots of local activities depending on the subtopic. Methodology that will be used during LTT and local activities-From practical examples over discussions to designing their own materials , students will exchange ideas and gain new skills in a positive, “learning by doing” training through various collaborative and reflective activities(interactive activities, group work, study visits, workshops, lectures, role-plays, collaborative writing, blended learning).The final results of the project will be improved social, civic and inter-cultural competences and skills of young people, including active citizenship, critical judgement and intercultural understanding and greater participation of young people in social and civic life. Concrete results will be: a Digital Handbook of Social Inclusion in Schools, six events called 'Raising Awareness Days', six extensive learning scenarios on six project subtopic with suggestions on integrating them into different school subjects and six short documentary films. The project will have great impact not only on participating schools but also other schools from community and Europe because they will be included in activities through eTwinning live events and local activities. We will also establish good connections with the institutions from our community that deal with the topics of our project, they will act as our partners in organising local activities. Potential longer term benefits are the following: in order to maintain a sense of civic responsibility schools can continue organizing Raising Awareness Days on project subtopics(it can become a steady school activity) and we will continue to use good practice and results and encourage teachers of our and other schools to include it in the curriculum (use newly-created learning scenarios and other project results in lessons on various subjects: History, Humanities, Geography, Religion, Art, Ethics,Civic Education)."
