B-Part had 3 main goals: 1) to introduce innovative and engaging child-centred educational approaches in formal education, in such a way that such approach and techniques would be acquired by teachers for a sustainable and independent use in the future; 2) to promote the development of student’s key-competences like critical and creative thinking, conflict resolution, active listening, empathy and other social skills, in order to bring up more responsible, aware and inclusive people, responsive to social challenges; 3) to introduce emotional education in schools curricula-delivery.
This project emerged from the observation of 3 distinct but complementary realities: 1) generalized alienation from public matters (indifference, unaccountability and abstention); 2) the gap between school and youngsters; and 3) the unfinished work of promoting social acceptance of different forms of diversity. B-Part intended to address the need for promoting participation, civic engagement, as well as the values of democracy, diversity and freedom and collective responsibility among the new generations, while using engaging child-centred educational techniques, used in non-formal education. The selected target group were children between 8 and 12 years old, attending schools in disadvantaged areas, to promote inclusion and access to opportunities, namely the ones offered by the Erasmus+ program.
