Different Colours of Us

Description

The EU is regarded as a union of developed countries, once established to build a strong economy so that a good standard of life would reduce inequality and agression in the society. However, schools within the EU are still facing different forms of inequality and problematics - many of the problems being similar across countries, and some being of local nature. However, the objective of schools across Europe is the same - to provide equal opportunities and support to all children in schools. Each country has its own standard tools to tackle inequality and support disadvantaged students, but a joint cooperation of schools across Europe provides a much wider perspective and also a much greater selection of inclusion and support methods, mechanisms and approaches. The participating schools will be able to learn about issues such as 1) refugee inclusion in schools; 2) methods in a school specialised in special needs students;3) tackling social problems in rural areas; 4) implementation of alternative teaching methods in support of special educational needs, etc.EU funding will provide opportunities of growth, building of self-confidence and language skills to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, starting from children with difficult financial background to students under the risk of early school leaving and social exclusion. The Project mainly focuses on disadvantaged students, but mobilities may include mixed groups so that the students with special needs will have peer support. Initiatives such as this one can have a huge impact on the motivation and self-confidence of disadvantaged students who may otherwise be neglected from projects in favour of their more accomplished peers.The project mobilities focus on different kinds of recreational, creative and artistic activities which may support disadvantaged students, covering areas such as recreational use of nature, supporting role of literature and story-telling, therapeutic aspects of music and movement, and the use of photography and design in building the self-confidence of disadvantaged children. The students participating in the mobilities will experience these approaches and benefit from the experience first-hand. The mobilities will result in a booklet of best practices available for dissemination in English as well as other local languages so that the practices can be continued in the future by the participating institutions as well as other educational establishments.The project also includes a staff training event at a school specialised in children with special needs. The staff training event will result in another information booklet about the modern-day best practices available in this field.
