We organized various activities to ensure that students with special needs feel accepted at school. These activities aimed to increase the desire to continue school. The workshops, seminars and international mobilities we organized encouraged the sharing of experiences among teachers and ensured the implementation of new educational methods. Our activities aimed to increase students' interest and digital skills in STEM with psychodrama techniques aimed at developing their social skills. By implementing the project, we aimed to compile the best practices for the education of students with special needs and to implement these practices through teachers. By creating the "Activities that Remove Barriers" guide, we aimed to provide a more effective and inclusive approach in the education processes of these students. In addition, we created an accessible multimedia book by bringing together content based on the areas of expertise of different countries. This resource will help educators enrich their practices. The project results were shared with teachers, students and families and disseminated to other educational institutions.
The aim of our project application was to ensure the integration of students with special needs into the education system in line with the strategic priorities determined in the 2021-2030 period and to create equal opportunities in this process. Students with Special Needs: In order to ensure that these students feel valued at school and increase their desire to continue school, we aimed to create a safe learning environment. We prioritized providing them with skills and self-confidence that will support integration. Classmates: We aimed to develop empathy and understanding by interacting with students with special needs. In this way, we wanted to ensure that all students have a more sensitive and supportive attitude towards each other. Teachers: We aimed to help teachers develop innovative and effective methods for the education of students with special needs. We aimed to provide teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills to increase the sense of belonging of these students to the school. Families: By strengthening cooperation with families, we encouraged students to participate more actively in the educational processes. The support of families plays a critical role in increasing students' success in school.
