Preventing early school leaving and failure in educationNew learning and teaching methods and approaches

Objectives

Our objectives were: - developing and piloting a programme for supporting students with learning disadvantages and fewer opportunities in terms of their gaining basic skills and achieving learning, personal and social goals within school environments - improving the educators' competences to provide support to children with learning disadvantages and fewer opportunities and prevent early school leaving by helping them handle their learning and behavioral challenges at school - raising the students' resilience and helping them have a proactive approach to learning and behavioral challenges. - raising participants' awareness of the learning outcomes in the cross-border learning mobilities

Background

We applied to address the need for mental strength in education, especially for students with learning disadvantages and limited opportunities. Mental resilience, positivity, and willpower are essential for success, yet often overlooked in national curricula, particularly as students advance or change teachers. COVID-19 worsened learning challenges, emphasizing the need for targeted support. This project aligns with SDG4 by offering the DO2GET program, which equips educators to foster resilience, motivation, and effective learning habits. Implementing mental strength strategies across subjects can help students navigate school challenges, prevent early school leaving, and build community connections. Our multi-perspective approach, supported by university and educational partners, ensures program quality and broad applicability. Through this, we provide systematic, inclusive support to students, empowering them to succeed in dynamic learning environments.
