1.1 Kultura in vzdušje v šoli

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.

Metodologija InScool je zasnovana tako, da fleksibilno usmerja šole na začetku poti k vključevanju, pri čemer izboljšuje osebne in akademske rezultate vseh otrok in mladih s poudarkom na dostopu do kakovostnega in ustreznega izobraževanja ter sodelovanju v njem.

Cilj projekta Raising the Achievement of All Learners in Inclusive Education (RA) je bil zagotoviti dokaze o učinkovitih ukrepih za izboljševanje dosežkov ter krepitvi zmogljivosti šol in skupnosti za vključevanje in podporo vsem učencem.

To improve the school climate, a group of schools from the Learning Communities project decided to create the Brave’s Club. It is based on a “dialogical model of conflict prevention”. Since the Club started in 2014, it has made progress in eradicating school violence in both primary and secondary schools. This strategy is making it easier to bring together effective evidence-informed practices on preventing violence in classrooms in general, and more specifically, gender violence.

Cilj projekta E-EVALINTO je spodbujati vrstniško mentorstvo za zmanjšanje zgodnjega opuščanja šolanja med učenci migranti in priznati vrednost medkulturnosti ter razviti okvir IKT za ocenjevanje, upravljanje in razvoj dejavnosti v medkulturnem okolju. Projekt, ki ga financira program Erasmus+, se osredotoča na procese odločanja in prepoznavanje različnih vzorcev v analiziranih situacijah.

Program Vključevanje otrok, ki so jih prizadele migracije (angl. Including Children Affected by Migration) je program, ki se ga izvaja v sklopu programa Erasmus+ in je namenjen zagotavljanju dostopa do izobraževanja otrokom, ki so jih prizadele migracije. Program pomaga šolam ustvariti varno in zanesljivo okolje za otroke, ki so jih prizadele migracije, in jim omogočiti, da v celoti izkoristijo možnosti za izobraževanje.

The Joaquim Ruyra Elementary School is located in a disadvantaged suburban district of Barcelona. In the 2016-2017 school year, 92% students were immigrants representing 28 different nationalities (including Pakistan, Morocco, Georgia, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, the Philippines, China, Bangladesh, Senegal, and the USA) or from minority background (Romani). The school has a 40% mobility rate.  

National and international press have referred to the school as the miracle school as it had achieved academic outcomes above the average in the Catalan standardised tests, outperforming elite schools in the Catalonia region.

All classes in the school feature group work 40% to 60% of the time. The groups mix students of different abilities, genders and nationalities.  The small groups are designed to ensure that no one is left out, and students are encouraged to participate actively.  Each group is facilitated by an adult (e.g. a classroom assistants, a parent).  Psychologists and special education teachers may also work in the classrooms, and they support volunteer parents, teachers and the students.  The extra support and student interaction are considered as essential for supporting and reinforcing children’s learning. 

Cilj projekta MiCREATE (angl. Migrant Children and Communities in a Transforming Europe) je spodbujanje vključevanje raznolikih skupin otrok migrantov s pristopom, ki pri vključevanju otrok migrantov na ravni izobraževanja in politik v središče postavlja otroka. Raziskovalni projekt, ki izhaja iz potrebe po ponovnem pregledu obstoječih politik vključevanja, si je kot cilj zadal celovito preučiti sodobne procese vključevanja otrok migrantov, da bi okrepili njihovo sposobnost odločanja, sodelovanje in blaginjo.

"Our School - My Future" was an ESL project initiated within the framework of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for School Education. It aims to support cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices between schools from different countries across Europe.
Part of the problem of ESL is attributed to lack of support and guidance, disengagement from schooling, and secondary-level curricula which too often do not offer enough options for varied courses, alternative teaching pedagogies, experiential and other hands-on learning opportunities or sufficient flexibility and support.
The framework for this project was designed to focus mainly on in-school factors influencing ESL, such as teaching methods and curricular issues, positive/negative school climate, and the parents’ role as a contributing factor to ESL.
A distance education programme, “Promotion of healthy lifestyles and development of the students’ social skills through physical education and environmental activities” was offered to teachers from five partner countries. Some 65 teachers from Greece, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Turkey had the opportunity to participate in this training programme, along with six academics who are also members of the Hellenic Academy of Physical Education.
