The project "E.QUA.L.I.TY. - Europe for QUAlitative Learning and the Inclusion of diversiTYies" intends to address to the need to foster the acquisition of citizenship skills and the integration of the most disadvantaged students in the scholastic context, starting from the experiences of the relevant project partners: - Italian coordinating Institute, the “E. Fermi - C.E. Gadda” of Naples, which found the need to work towards the inclusion of those students coming from single-income families who risk if not adeguately integrated at school to be recruited by criminal organizations; - Romanian Institute "Gundogmu High School", which clashes with the need to adopt inclusive strategies for students coming from rural contexts; - Latvian Institute "Davja Ozolina Apes vidusskola", which warns of the need to encourage the integration of students from peripheral areas and the country's border; - Portuguese Institute "Alves Martins" which has experienced the problem of bullying; - Turkish Institute "Gundogmu High School" which warns of the need to integrate different cultural realities. E.QUA.L.I.TY." project’ s objectives are: - reflecting on the meaning of European citizenship and on the protection of human rights linked to it; - educating to the respect of diversity, contributing to the reduction of discrimination against students from immigrant families; - improving the ability of teachers to propose educational activities able to integrate and involve also students coming from the most disadvantaged social contexts. Starting from these needs, "E.QUA.LITY." Imagined the realization of 5 mobilities each one addressed to 25 students (5 per school) and to be set in Latvia, Portugal, Turkey, Italy and Romania. Students mobilities will last 5 days (excluding the 2 days of travel). The project E.QUA.LITY also planned the realization of a mobility addressed to 3 teachers per partner school to be carried out in Italy for a duration of 3 days (excluding the two travel days). The mobility of teachers, which will take place in Italy in December 2019, will be aimed at sharing the teaching methods adopted by each School and reflecting on what may be new and more effective strategies for the scholastic integration of the most fragile students (students from areas geographical areas, from families with economic difficulties or from migratory contexts). Student mobility will be preceded by the implementation, through the use of eTwinning, of 2 days of blended mobility, which will be preceded by preparatory meetings held independently by each individual School. They will focus on the following topics: - "CULTURAL DIVERSITY MARGINALIZATION AND INTEGRATION". The mobility that will take place in Latvia on March 2020, starting from the analysis of the meaning of culture and identity, will analyze the effects that could be caused by the spread of prejudice and distrust of other cultures. Then it will reflect how each cultural identity has emerged from the intersection of multiple cultures, analyzing some cases of positive cultural integration; - "IMMIGRATION AND INCLUSION". The mobility carried out in Romania on the month of May 2020 will make an excursus on the main immigration and emigration phenomena that have involved the European States present in the partnership and then move on to analyze how these phenomena have changed the European identity and on the migratory phenomena that are currently affecting the European Union; - "HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY". The mobility that will take place in Turkey on October 2020 will propose a reflection on the meaning of gender equality after examining the figure of some women who have distinguished themselves in the countries participating in the exchange and in the European Union for specific merits; - "I FIGHT BULLISM". The mobility that will take place in Portugal in January 2021 will analyze the issues of bullying and cyber bullying; - "EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP AND SOCIAL RIGHTS". The mobility that will take place in Italy in March 2021 and will represent a summary of the previous activities, highlighting the role that the EU is laboriously assuming for the promotion of social rights closely linked to the concept of European citizenship. E.QUA.LITY.", Providing the sharing of innovative teaching methods, intends to make a long-term impact not only on the participants involved in the mobility, but also on the entire educational institutions, providing them tools to use in the always more multi-ethnic classes of students. The greater attention to the issues of inclusion infact will favor the decrease of 2% of the school dropout rate, the continuation of the E.QUA.LITY project on eTwinning and the start of a new Erasmus + project for the sharing of teaching methodologies inclusive by the year 2020.
The project “E.QUA.L.I.TY. – Europe for QUAlitative Learning and the Inclusion of diversiTYies” was conceived as a tool to encourage the acquisition of citizenship skills and the integration of the most disadvantaged students, with particular reference to specific problems highlighted by the project partners and summarized below: - the Italian coordinating institute, the “E. Fermi – C.E. Gadda" in Naples felt the need to work towards the inclusion of those students from single-income families to prevent them from being ensnared by organized crime systems; - the Romanian Institute "Gundogmu High School" needed inclusive strategies for students from rural contexts; - the Latvian Institute "Davja Ozolina Apes Vidusskola" felt the need to encourage the integration of students from peripheral areas and on the border of the country; - the Portuguese Institute "Alves Martins" recognized the urgency of experimenting with new strategies for approaching the phenomenon of bullying; - the Turkish Institute "Gundogmu High School", finally, felt the strong need to integrate different cultural realities. The “E.QUA.L.I.TY.” project it was therefore aimed at: - reflecting on the meaning of European citizenship and the protection of human rights linked to it; - educate to respect diversity, contributing to the reduction of discrimination against students from immigrant families; - improve the teachers' ability to propose educational activities capable of integrating and involving even students from the most disadvantaged social contexts. To achieve these goals, 5 mobilities were carried out, intended for students and teachers, lasting 5 days (in addition to the 2 travel days), held in all partner countries and a preliminary meeting between teachers only lasting 3 days ( +2 travel days), held in Italy. The latter, held in December 2019 at the coordinating institute, was aimed at sharing the teaching methodologies adopted by the individual schools and at reflecting on which new and more effective strategies could be for the scholastic integration of the most vulnerable pupils (students from peripheral geographical areas, from families with economic difficulties or from migratory backgrounds). All student mobilities were preceded by preparatory meetings, held independently in the individual schools, and by online meetings between teachers, aimed at defining the implementation details of the individual mobilities. Below are the issues identified and analyzed for each mobility, in chronological order of implementation: - "I FIGHT BULLISM". The mobility took place in Portugal in December 2021 and addressed the issues of bullying and cyber-bullying; - “HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY”. The mobility took place in Turkey in February 2022 and unfortunately saw the absence of the Italian partner due to problems related to the pandemic situation. The theme identified for this mobility was gender equality, with a strong invitation to reflect on the role of women in the history of the countries participating in the exchange and of the European Union; - “CULTURAL DIVERSITY MARGINALIZATION AND INTEGRATION”. Mobility, was carried out in Latvia in May 2022. Starting from the analysis of the meaning of culture and identity, it tried to critically evaluate the effects caused by prejudice and distrust towards other cultures, highlighting, above all, how every current cultural identity is the daughter of more and more cultures and cultural integration; - “IMMIGRATION AND INCLUSION”.The mobility, which took place in Romania in July 2022, envisaged a preliminary study of the main immigration and emigration phenomena involving the European states present in the partnership and then moved on to analyze how these phenomena have changed the European identity and the migratory phenomena which are currently affecting the European Union; - “EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP AND SOCIAL RIGHTS”. The mobility took place in Italy in September 2022 and represented a synthesis of the previous activities, highlighting the role that the EU is laboriously assuming for the promotion of social rights closely linked to the concept of European citizenship. "E.QUA.L.I.TY.", providing for the sharing of innovative teaching methodologies, intended to make a long-term impact not only on the participants involved in the mobility, but on the entire educational institutions, providing them with tools to relate adequately in our more and more today multiethnic classes .
