E-EVALINTO ha l’obiettivo di promuovere pratiche di mentoring tra pari per ridurre l’abbandono scolastico presso gli studenti migranti e per riconoscere il valore dell’interculturalità, così come sviluppare un ambiente TIC per valutare, gestire e sviluppare attività destinate a contesti interculturali. Il progetto, finanziato dal programma Erasmus+, si concentra in particolare sui processi decisionali e sull’identificazione di modelli nei contesti analizzati.

Il progetto Junior Job Coach è stato creato per aiutare gli studenti giovani e vulnerabili che possono mancare di esperienza sociale e competenze quando muovono i primi passi sul posto di lavoro.

UNICEF Serbia and the civil society organisation Centre for Education Policy with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development Republic of Serbia  implemented the project “Combating Early School Leaving in Serbia”.

This project aimed to contribute to decreasing drop-out and early school leaving of children and adolescents through development, establishment, and implementation of the school-based model for early identification of children at risk of dropping out and intervention in situations where dropping-out is taking place.

Combating drop-out and ESL in Serbia has been recognised as a policy priority area.  The Strategy for Education Development in Serbia 2020 (SEDS 2020) calls for the provision of high-quality education for all, an increase of students’ coverage and attainment at all levels of education by maintaining the relevance of education and increasing efficiency. The Strategy implementation is primarily focused on the development of human capital in Serbia, thus underlines importance of the inclusion of pupils from vulnerable and marginalised groups (Roma and children from poor families, children with disabilities and from rural areas etc.).

L’UNICEF Serbia e l’organizzazione della società civile Centro per la politica dell’istruzione, con il supporto del ministero dell’Istruzione, della scienza e dello sviluppo tecnologico della Repubblica di Serbia, hanno attuato il progetto “Lotta all’abbandono scolastico in Serbia”.

L’obiettivo era contribuire a ridurre l’abbandono scolastico tra i bambini e i giovani. Nell’ambito del progetto sono stati definiti i criteri (indicatori) dell’abbandono scolastico che i team scolastici possono adottare nel monitoraggio degli studenti a rischio e nella prevenzione dell’abbandono.

The CroCooS - Prevent dropout! project was developed in the framework of the EC proposal "Implementation of the European strategic objectives in education and training" under the Lifelong Learning Programme to support innovative policy solutions to reduce and prevent early leaving from education and training (ELET). The main aim of the CroCooS project, which was implement between 2014 and 17, was to contribute to the development of an institutional early warning system (EWS) for preventing early leaving from education and training. It also tested its applicability with national pilots focusing on contextual factors affecting the evaluation.
Regional needs addressed included: sensitizing the staff of each school on the need to address the problem of dropout; actively involving teachers in monitoring students and working with them; developing better relationships between students and teachers; strengthening pupils' sense of belonging to the class and the school; developing relationships of trust by being supportive and ensuring a safe school climate.

The Danish Production schools were created in the 1980s with the aim of combating youth unemployment. Production Schools offer alternative education opportunities to improve labour market integration. The fundamental aim of this type of school is to create a practical learning environment to support young people to complete and earn qualifications in general and vocational upper secondary education and/or maintain a job. The students are offered the opportunity to develop professional, social and personal skills through counselling, participation in practical work experience and production in different workshops ranging from areas such as metalwork, carpentry and textile work in theatre, media and music-based workshops. The focus is on social, personal and physical skills which are complemented by more formal knowledge and skills. Learning processes are organised through workshops and classroom teaching, but every young person is free to organise an individual course where they may challenge themselves and build their confidence.
The most significant challenge for production schools is to prepare and motivate “non-academic” students for the ordinary school system. The last legislative change in 2006focused the aims of Production Schools so that its most important task has been to build a bridge to vocational education and training through relevant practical and academic qualifications. In 2009, there were over 6,000 students in production schools. The student capacity at each school can vary from 20-25 to over 200. Generally speaking the schools are small, with half of the schools accepting fewer than 50 students. Today there are 78 Production Schools in Denmark.
