Social Inclusion

School Education: Promoting the acquisition of skills and competences

School Education: Strengthening the profile(s) of the teaching profession

Education remains a critical element of EU policy in the twenty-first century. Schools across Europe are seeing a rise in the number of children born and raised in a different country. This can place strain on language teaching capacity and many immigrant children lag behind in academic achievement. But, at the same time, increased diversity is an opportunity to make schools more inclusive, creative and open-minded. 

This project aims at inspiring teachers to treat and value learners equally, and to encourage other learners to do the same. In valuing diversity as an asset and facilitating the professional development of the staff, school education could include intercultural skills, expertise in second language learning and intercultural education as well as knowledge about project implementation and evaluation. This project also aims at contributing to these objectives as it is taking place in an international setting with students coming from different European countries, some of them having a migration background.
