To create a relational network of two organisations with schools and guidance centres, which is the basis of a support network for inclusive education and practice, and to pave the way for larger, also research-advocacy projects. Also to learn about other inclusive education systems in other countries in the context of a number of upcoming reforms in Slovakia from the POO and the Slovakia Programme. To improve and bring to Slovakia the preventive-educational method of holistic learning Grunnlaget as a prevention of segregation, early school leaving and further development of materials in English to the EU area.
Inclusive education in Slovakia is just beginning and thanks to the Inclusion Coalition, of which we are a core member, it is now enshrined in legislation and national projects. We clearly need to draw on developed countries with a high level of experience in this topic and in practice. Norway is one of the top 10 in the world in this respect. From other projects we already had a partner in Norway on this topic and so we did not hesitate to extend the cooperation by getting to know partner schools and counselling facilities in Norway to network for further cooperation and exchange. Projects in the topic of inclusive education with quality partners from the most developed countries in the world is essential for us as a bridge of inclusion in education in the Slovak Republic. The topics and activities fit very nicely into our portfolio of interest and also into the already established framework of cooperation between our two organizations from the past.
