The specific objective of the Project was to give resources to schools so that they are more able to promote educational inclusion with an intersectional approach for these students. For this, the Project incorporated the intersectional approach to carry out an analysis of the different structural categories that influence on the academic success options and the inequalities experienced by students of migrant origin (racism, sexism, xenophobia, classism...). Main Project goals: - providing schools and students' families: with information on good educational practices, as well as on resources and devices available in their environment that favor the inclusion and educational continuity of students of migrant origin. - strengthening teachers' capacities, knowledge and practices for the educational inclusion of students of migrant origin. - strenghtening secondary education students' social and intercultural competencies to recognize and value cultural diversity and the contributions of women and men of migrant origin.
The context that by the time of developing this project proposal, was marked by the recent data from the Eurydice report (2019) “Integration of students of migrant origin in European schools: national policies and measures”, which showed the high rates of Early School Leaving of foreign-born students in European countries: Spain, with a 31.9% Early School Leaving rate, and Italy, with a 30.1% rate, ranked second and third place respectively in the statistics, and Greece ranked ninth place with a 16.9% rate. In the case of Spain and Italy, the Early School Leaving rates of students of migrant origin were double than those of national students; while in the case of Greece they were triple. Students of migrant origin often face additional challenges in their educational process due to factors such as language barriers, cultural adaptation difficulties, socioeconomic inequalities and, in some cases, traumatic experiences related to migration, including segregation or exclusion in the educational system. Spain, Italy and Greece share common characteristics regarding the arrival of migrant populations. Therefore, an alliance was established between the Project partners in order to develop tools that respond to the identified needs.
