Project summary

In all partner countries - Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Lithuania, Turkey, Greece - there is an increase in the number of students with special educational needs, manifesting various educational problems. The reasons for this are similar in all schools. Unemployment of parents, low material status, low level of education of both parents or mothers, broken, incomplete or patchwork families, parents working abroad or returning from abroad, parents working many hours per a day, children of foreign nationalities. All this prompted us to pay attention to these children and their families, to facilitate their adaptation, to give equal opportunities to prevent dropping out of school. Therefore, we propose to implement an educational project at an international level, thanks to which we can promote inclusive and intercultural education through the exchange of good practices. We will create a support system that will be available to everyone, at school and at home, regardless of their status or place of residence. Project activities are designed to teach, convince teachers, students and parents to use the digital resources of the school platform. During the project, each school will sign-up a profile on the platform and publish several examples of educational films on it. While in the following years, the platform will be filled with subsequent films, until a full set of films is obtained - educational aids in every subject and at every educational level of the school. During meetings held in every partner countries, teacher trainings about how to use platform, film editing, choosing the right teaching methods, discussions about the problems described in the project will be held, as well as conferences with teachers and parents from other schools in a given country to encourage them to create their own profile on the platform and use it in the future, to promote activities in the project, and talks with specialists will be held to improve the platform's operations as well.

Background

Schools with similar educational problems, as well as the potential and willingness to solve them based on new technologies and achievements of modern education were invited to the project. The teachers of each school have language skills and use modern technologies in their daily work. All schools recorded an increase in the number of students with various educational problems. The reasons for this were also similar. A child who encounters difficulties and cannot count on support becomes discouraged, starts to avoid classes, which causes further difficulties. All this prompted us to implement an international educational project that will promote inclusive, intercultural education through the exchange of good practices. We have created a help system, available to everyone both at school and at home, regardless of status, place of residence, educational stage.
