5.4. Partenariats - Organisations communautaires et société civile

L’année de transition proposée par un certain nombre d'établissements scolaires irlandais permet à des élèves (âgés d’environ quinze ans) d’acquérir une expérience éducative étendue afin de parvenir à une plus grande maturité. Elle a lieu après le premier cycle de l’enseignement secondaire et avant le passage au niveau d’enseignement supérieur et/ou à la préparation professionnelle. Elle sert de passerelle entre le premier cycle de l’enseignement secondaire, où les élèves évoluent dans un environnement très structuré, à un environnement où ils seront davantage responsables de leur propre apprentissage et prise de décision.

Faire les bons choix de matières à étudier augmente les chances de réussite future des élèves. Ce projet fait participer les parents et les élèves au processus de prise de décision réfléchie vis-à-vis des matières scolaires. Il fournit des informations sur le système éducatif flamand.

NESET - Network of Experts on Social Aspects of Education and Training publishes reports for policy makers and practitioners interested in promoting equity and inclusion in education and training across the European Union. This paper seeks to examine strategies for establishing community based lifelong learning centres in EU Member States. It explores evidence and research on the benefits and advantages of establishing such centres, as well as the barriers and difficulties impeding both the establishment and effectiveness of such centres. The report concludes that community based lifelong learning centres can simultaneously provide instantiations of a range of key lifelong learning objectives, such as active citizenship, social cohesion/inclusion, personal and social fulfillment, intercultural dialogue, as well as employment pathways.

The Drop-out prevention network provides a whole suite of services and expertise. Each project is unique, focused on specific target groups and attracts its own level of funding. Emphasis is put on prevention of early school leaving and re-integration of pupils who have dropped out of school. The Central Helpdesk provides support to pupils and to schools. Frequently absent students are referred to the Pupil Guidance Centre attached to the school network which the school is part of. Where necessary the Pupil Guidance Centre seek the help of the Central Helpdesk. The Helpdesk can offer tailored support measures and activities to pupils at risk or those who have dropped out through the network of different organisations.

Guiding Cities joins policy makers and education stakeholders to map policy and guidance and create coherent policy to respond to the complex needs in the fight against ESL.

The project aimed to:
• Analyse guidance actions in 4 countries through country-based focus groups including stakeholders in education and guidance.
• Develop a Guiding Cities Model and Checklist mapping different possible actions, actors community needs relative to guidance and lifelong learning.
• Establish and manage Working Groups and a survey of best practices (involving at least 40 stakeholders).
• Publish online the GCities Model and links to resources and practices for each type of action and/or each target group. The GCities tools will be available in 6 languages (EN, ES, CAT, IT, EL, RO).
• Test the GCities Model and Checklist-benchmarking tools with at least 40 communities or organisations.
• Improve professional development of local service providers and school guidance practitioners.

The IKAN project is a project where higher education students of the consortium of Antwerp University and Colleges (AUHA) voluntarily assist Newly Arrived Immigrant (including Refugee) Children with their studies in secondary education. This project aims to respond to the large increase of Newly Arrived Immigrant Children in Flemish education in recent years.

After a maximum of 1 year in reception classes (i.e. OKAN: reception classes for foreign-speaking newcomers), newly arrived immigrant students continue to regular education. This transition is often difficult. Only a small part of the foreign-speaking newcomers who started in OKAN eventually receives a secondary education diploma. With the name IKAN (referring to I Can) the project wants to emphasize that newly arrived immigrant children can have a successful education career, when provided with the right support.

Students affiliated to the AUHA engage voluntarily as a tutor. They accompany newcomers and refugees in the 2nd and 3rd grade full-time secondary education (general, technical, vocational and arts education). The guidance is offered on a weekly basis for 1 semester. They come together in small groups (min 2 - max 3) and support Dutch language and study skills. The meetings take place after school hours and last for 75 to 90 minutes. They take place in the school. This is mainly done through exercises Dutch, cross-border homework guidance and preparation, and review of tests. The small group and the informal atmosphere also supports the growth of newly arrived immigrant students’ motivation and self-confidence. The weekly contact between student and tutor also means that the tutor often becomes a trusted person and role model for these students and that the threshold for enrolling in higher education themselves is to be reduced.

Family Education is one of the Successful Educational Actions (SEAs) identified in the research project INCLUD-ED. It supports the promotion of cultural and educational interactions between students and social agents, and more particularly with family members and enhance students? achievement.

Les initiatives de soutien aux apprenants maltais visant à améliorer l’alphabétisation s’inscrivent dans le cadre global d’une stratégie nationale d’alphabétisation pour tous dont l’objectif est de consolider les programmes nationaux actuels qui concernent plus de 8 000 élèves par an. Les écoles sont en mesure d’organiser et de mener à bien leurs propres projets de promotion de l’alphabétisation pour les élèves et les étudiants qui en ont besoin au sein de leur établissement. Ces initiatives sont financées au moyen de subventions, qui sont pour la plupart accordées par les autorités locales.

This project is aims to fight against school dropout by addressing risk factors including:
• behavioural problems (discipline, violence ... )
• integration problems
• learning problems
• low motivation
• low self-esteem
• a lack of ambition
It is also important the student have a positive experience of school

 This project has two components:

1.) In "volet 1" students work collaboratively on a cross thematic directly related to the project. The aim is to restore and develop the pleasure of learning through informal activities.
2.) In "Volet 2" partner institutions (management, nursing service , teachers ... ) devoted to educational activities and educational research work together to produce a toolbox on prevention of ESL which can be adapted to local context. The focus is on prevention of conflicts, fight against discrimination, peer mediation, individual tutoring, class or group projects.
