NO STEREOTYPES FOR EQUITY AND INCLUSION

Description

The idea arose from that societies remain strongly prejudiced and that the education system, which is a subsystem of the societies they serve, reproduce the values and culture of those societies without challenging their possible limitations on the life opportunities and experiences of their pupils. Prejudice remains strong influences in society, schools and the daily life in classrooms. This cooperation focuses on prejudice and its negative effects in education. We observed the topic in term of its cause and effects and include students, teachers, parents, social environment, media, thus, produced an output book which include challenge and solutions to prevent prejudice. These types of prejudices were taken inside the project activities: Racial Profiling; Age; Class; Colour Ability; Sex/Gender; Weight/Size; Religion; Country of Origin. We, the project group, executed this common issue into our school environment to bring out the negative effects of prejudice. It had been prepared a survey to monitor and evaluate present situation in the partner schools. The survey was created by the psychological consolers. According to statistical analysis of those surveys (applied 100 students in every school correlated through ages) the needs were taken out in local level, so the project was placed into its meaningful ground. The purpose was to build a PREJUDICE-FREE ZONE in our Schools. Project activities were applied by leading school clubs to take active role in the project. Every partner school formed these clubs and ran all the activities. Every club ran different type of activities related to students's talents, skills and willingness. (The activities are explained in Description; Implementation, Learning/ Teaching/ Training Activities sections). The clubs were: SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL; EU CLUB; DRAMA CLUB; MUSIC CLUB; ICT CLUB; ARTS CLUB; MEDIA CLUB. Top events were three short term students exchange meetings in the project, they should have been four, if Spain wouldn't have retired from the project. Clubs did their specific activities in local level at first and during short term exchange (the ones who showed best performance were chosen) clubs did their activities in international level. Those weeks were a very active project week in host institutions. After the exchange, dissemination tasks were done in local level. This circle was turned three times in two years since the project had three short term student exchange. Total number of students who joined in these exchanges were 67, and the number of accompaniment teacher were 38, so total mobility for short term exchange was 105.The students and teenagers including the ones with fewer opportunities were our main actors and they were in the centre of all stages when the teachers and other adult participants were supervisors in the project. The reached OBJECTIVES were: -to increase the awareness and remove the barriers of the images/prejudices -to develop their critical thinking, basic life-skills and key competences, -to know other people from different social background.
