Our objectives were designed based on the needs identified in the SWOT analysis carried out at each of the participating schools, as well as taking into account the teachers' training needs in the field of education. Main objectives: 1. To create a European reference framework for the design of inclusive spaces in EU educational institutions. 2. To share best practices implemented in different countries and educational institutions. 3. To analyze the impact of creating inclusive spaces in schools. 4. To promote the dissemination of best practices seen in the working network. 5. To facilitate cascade training on the topic addressed within our area of influence. Secondary objectives: 6. To create a network of collaboration with educational institutions from different stages and countries. 7. To promote the use of natural and sustainable resources in the design of new inclusive spaces. 8. To encourage the use of digital tools to design spaces and reduce the environmental impact of our work. 9. To use eTwinning to develop and showcase our project at a European level. 10. To improve foreign language competence through collaborative work with institutions from other countries.
This project was initiated in response to the specific needs expressed by schools in the area of action of the CFR of Pontevedra, as well as by partners from Italy, Turkey, and Portugal. These partners agree on the need for guidance in the process of transforming educational spaces from a perspective that promotes student inclusion. Our work aims to meet this need by providing a general framework for designing inclusive educational spaces, which can serve as a model and guide for different types of schools to develop their own projects. Our intention was to gather and document experiences of spatial transformation, provide tools for reflection and evaluation to the entire educational community, and identify common strategies across various institutions (special education schools, primary, secondary, and vocational schools in different countries). We also seek to enrich the reflections on diversity and spaces with an international perspective that facilitates the exchange and sharing of strategies, resources, legislation, and organizational approaches specific to each country.
