Evaluating the problems in each school we conclude the need to address gaps in social inclusion, basic skills, parental support skills and socioeconomic needs. In order to reach the inclusion objectives, new cooperative and inclusive teaching strategies and methods were studied and implemented in schools, during classes and during free time.The strategies and methods covered have brought many ideas to put into practice and have proved a real alternative in solving problems in schools. At the same time, the observation of good practices during the mobilities also allowed them to be transferred to the realities of the other partner schools.Each school studied and applied one of the new methods, evaluated and disseminated practices and results. In each mobility it was possible to present and discuss methods and transfer practices from one school to another. Thus, at the end of the project five methods of cooperative and inclusive teaching that could be applied in schools were studied, applied and discussed.GOALS- to promote the inclusion of pupils, those lacking basic skills, risk of abandonment, with special needs, helping to promote their integration into regular education and society.- implement new strategies to overcome social exclusion, lack of basic skills and school dropout- to develop new methods in the field of social and emotional development of students, especially students with special educational needs.- give teachers different methods of education and share good practices.These objectives were largely achieved, with great success in the changes of behaviors and acquisition of competences on the part of the students and introduction of new strategies in the teaching practices.NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTSStudents / young people: More students than expected participated actively in the project.
