The project partners designed and implemented a new anti-bullying programme in schools in five EU countries. It drew on the experiences of existing programmes and practices originated by the project partners working in different cultural contexts.  It provided further evidence of effective approaches to the reduction of bullying in schools that will inform the development of improved child centred, whole school strategies for adoption at European level.

Projekt AVIOR financovaný programom Erasmus+ sa zameral na zlepšenie základnej matematickej a čitateľskej gramotnosti detí migrantov a zníženie rozdielov vo výsledkoch medzi domácimi a cudzími žiakmi pomocou dvojjazyčných materiálov, zlepšením odbornej spôsobilosti učiteľov a posilnením zapojenia rodičov migrantov. AVIOR prebiehal od decembra 2016 do augusta 2019.

Tento nový prístup, ktorý vznikol vo Francúzsku, umožňuje žiakom lepšie pochopiť ekonomický a profesijný svet, aby si uvedomovali rozmanitosť povolaní a odbornej prípravy, cibrili si svoj zmysel pre zapájanie sa do činností a preberanie iniciatívy a formovali smer, ktorým sa chcú vo svojom vzdelávaní a profesijnej kariére uberať.

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.).

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.

E-EVALINTO sa usiluje o podporu vzájomného mentorstva s cieľom zredukovať predčasné ukončenie školskej dochádzky medzi študentmi z rodín migrantov a uznať hodnotu interkultúrnosti, ako aj vytvoriť rámec IKT pre hodnotenie, riadenie a rozvoj činností pre interkultúrne kontexty. Tento projekt financovaný zo zdrojov programu Erasmus+ sa zameriava na rozhodovacie procesy a identifikáciu rôznych modelov v analyzovaných situáciách.

Prístup školy k vzdelávaniu a učeniu sa je založený na dosahovaní excelentnosti v oblasti vzdelávania a dobrých študijných výsledkov všetkých študentov. Škola vypracovala podnetné učebné plány, ktorých cieľom je dosiahnuť, aby študenti chápali vzdelávací proces, na ktorom sa zúčastňujú (metapoznanie) – a budovali vieru v samých seba. Kľúčovým prvkom tohto procesu je špeciálne vyučovanie v niektorých predmetoch (prírodné vedy, hudobná výchova, výtvarná výchova, telesná výchova), ako aj rozvoj vyučovania matematiky na celej škole (pre šiestakov). Významným prvkom pri rozvoji myslenia, pružnosti a sebavedomia študentov je aj výučba filozofie. Inovácia učebných plánov sa uskutočňuje z iniciatívy školy, ktorá spolupracuje so svojimi zväzovými partnermi zo základnej školy Whitmore Park Primary School. Pravidelne sa uskutočňujú konzultácie so všetkými zamestnancami, s riadiacim orgánom, so študentmi a s rodičmi, ktorí sa podieľajú na procese prípravy učebných plánov, pričom škola do veľkej miery spolupracuje aj s komunitnými partnermi na príprave širších vzdelávacích činností.
