"‘Various methods towards one goal - Successful Inclusive Education!’ is a two years Strategic Partnership project under Erasmus Plus Programme. Six partners from Poland, Finland, Macedonia, Spain, Greece and Italy decided to start a cooperation on the topic of inclusive education. The need for such a project raises from following reasons: one in ten young Europeans leave education or training without having the skills and qualifications which are now considered necessary for a successful transition to the labor market and for active participation in today’s society, meaning they risk unemployment, social exclusion and poverty. The 21st century brings new challenges and those challenges need new ways of thinking in education - inclusive education. Making the learning process more flexible could help to prevent early school leaving problem in Europe. It could help to reduce dropping out of basic education, to promote working with action-based and work-oriented methods and provide instruction also in other learning environments. It is very important to strengthen the resilience of our pupils to be ready to face the future. They should be flexible and able to cope with society changing constantly. Besides knowledge, they all need to develop a broad set of competences and ability to cope with change, regardless of their background or their specific educational needs. The main objectives of the project are: spreading idea of inclusive education among the teachers and the community, learning the methods to use them as tools of the creative, innovative and equal learning process to prevent early school leavers and support disadvantaged pupils, supporting teachers in adopting collaborative and innovative practices and gaining knowledge and skills on methods supporting inclusive education.The implementation of the project assumes six part training course on different methods of inclusive education. Each partner country will organise a 5-days training on one method which is effective in the learning process of disadvantaged children: - Poland: Using visual arts in inclusive education- Spain: Art and creativity as a way to revolutionize the classroom- Macedonia: Formative assessment as a vehicle of inclusive education- Finland: Green empowerment as a tool of inclusive education- Italy: Technology for the inclusive classroom- Greece: Choreotherapy: a gift to the body and mind! Participation in those trainings will lead to have a group of well equipped specialist (change agents) in each school. Their task will be to change the attitude towards the importance of inclusive education among community by sharing the knowledge and tools through the workshops for other teachers and stakeholders, meetings with parents and using the methods in daily work with children. After each training an ‘open lesson’ presenting the elements of the learned method will be organized in each school. It will be available for the headmaster, co-workers (teachers) and parents of the pupils. The aim of 'open lesson' is to present the methods and its use in daily work of teachers but also to start changing the attitudes towards inclusive education.As a result of this project, a publication will be made. It will promote the idea of inclusive education and help to understand the need of diversity in education. The practical parts of the publication will support teachers and other stakeholders in adopting collaborative and innovative practices.Direct participants of the activities of the project are the teachers (special needs teachers, supporting teachers, subject teachers, headmasters) from the schools of the partners. They will directly take part in the six trainings provided in the implementation of the project. There will be 4 participants from each partner country taking part in each training.The second group of participants are the pupils of partners' schools. The teachers are going to work with them by using the methods known during the trainings. The main focus will be on pupils at risk of early school leaving and disadvantaged (which includes children with special needs, refugees, migrants, children with different social background). Their participation will be indirect but they are the most important participants of the project. The third group will be other teachers who gain knowledge and skills during the implementation and dissemination of the project. There will be possibility for them to take part in open lessons and in the workshop presenting the selected methods of inclusive education at the end of the project. Parents of the children and other stakeholders will also have a chance to watch presented ""open lessons"" to understand the idea of inclusive education and its importance in the process of learning.All the activities planned during the implementation of the project will promote the Erasmus Plus Programme and the importance of quality of teaching process."

"The aim of the project ""What's your c@de?"" is to motivate students for a long-life learning and to prevent early school dropouts by using a variety of ICT tools and coding activities. Students come from different socio-economic backgrounds and several issues. Participating countries bring into the project their different cultures from north to south of Europe, and this increases the chances to be enriched by each other diversity. We believe that students learn more by doing. We believe that students will develop a critical thinking and how to solve problems when they are asked to take part to innovative activities. Students should have fun in learning new topics, and this will motivate them for lessons and learning. We want to use new approaches in order to raise the students' interest and motivation to be involved into the future society with a promotional attitude. The project will foster young people's social skills in the students' own life at home, school and general in society. The project will also work with the teachers' motivation and their knowledge for a better education. Our lessons will be introduced and developed in the school curriculum.We will work with values, social skills, self-confidence and technology. Initially, we will work to tear down mental barriers such as stereotypes and prejudices to induce our students to integrate. Parallel with technology during the project we will focusing on soft skills as well as developing competence and abilities for the future.We will work in order to:-improve skills in the use of new technologies-motivate students to look for and study different sources of knowledge- increase mathematical and linguistic competences and add knowledge in other subjects.- practice and improve foreign languages-be aware of their own strengths and weaknesses as challenge to improve and be part of the society.Participating countries; Sweden, Poland, Latvia, Italy, Greece. We have a large geographical and cultural spread. The project will involve most of the pupils and teachers from partner schools. The schools are municipal and have a large student variation both within the schools and among the countries. Pupils participating in the project are 8-15. Pupils in the mobilities will be 12-15. Among the students selected for our activities and actions, we will dedicate a special care to the disadvantaged ones, in order to offer them a consistent opportunity to grow and improve.There will be monthly activities carried out in the schools. 5 group meetings (students & staff) in each country/5 days and 3 team meetings (staff)/3 days. Coding is becoming increasingly a key competence, we want to introduce coding in our learning/teaching process. Coding and robotics will be developed into most of our activities. Activities will be published schools website, project website, Etwinning platforms, twinspace for constant dissemination. We will have an e-book as one of the final output, local Erasmus Day events and articles on local magazines.It is very important to offer the students a wide selection of subjects and topics, therefore it becomes a fascinating challenge for the teacher to link their own teaching to the students' experiences and to attract the students to be an active protagonist of the teaching process. Both the teacher competence and didactic skills are important. We will support the students’ efforts to show that we believe in them, so-called pygmalion effect, and thus increase their motivation. We will encourage all actions dealing with a better self esteem and resilience. Methods will vary widely in order to have as wide impact as possible. Individual/group exercises, experimental, e-learning/tutoring, informal and integrated teaching, peer learning etc. We plan to develop robotics at schools and extend our activities in robotics and coding. By using interactive displays and hands-on activities, students will be able to take responsibility for their own learning, improving their know-how. Critical thinking, reasoning and problem solving skills will be highly improved and will be implemented when dealing with different groups and cultures.We will make initial, intermediate and final questionnaires. We will also have evaluations after each group/team meeting. Digital educational/teaching material will be produced, evaluated and uploaded regularly.Potential longer term benefits.Success will be stated if we get students:- who are study-motivated- prepared for future studies and working life- measurable difference in self-confidence- are open-minded for Europe and know more about different cultures, appreciating diversity- students get better communicative performances and skills and thus dare to express themselves more.Success will also be stated if:- teachers' professional levels in the digital and communicative areas increase, by giving opportunities for strategies and innovative methodologies.- better teaching = better learning = better results"

<< Objectives >>Our goal is to make that the schools will be aware of the role they play in improving the situation of the school neighborhood and the families of their students.Cooperation with local organizations and authorities will contribute to a stronger commitment to upgrade the school neighborhoods and thus improve the living conditions of the pupils. The intention is for partners to develop a number of small-scale projects and put them into practice in their school environments.<< Implementation >>There will be four activities combining a training and jobshadowing. In the training part, the partners learn how to set up successful collaboration initiatives and to monitor and evaluate the projects. During the jobshadowing participants will learn from each others experiences.The Greek partner (an etwinning expert) will help the pupils of the partner schools to start an etwinnig project.Two activities are foreseen to write an inspiration book, make an assessment tool and a webinar.<< Results >>The partnership will write an inspiration book for all schools interested in becoming a Neighborhood Engaged School. The coordinating school and the organisation EtuConsult will organize a webinar with the theme 'Howdo we become a Neighborhood Involved School?'The aim is to inform school boards and teachers all over Europe of the results of the international project.Locally the neighborhood, community, school and pupils will benefit from this project.
