The project addresses students aged 10-13 originating from five schools in five countries: BG,IT,PL,RO and TR. The project concentrates on the issue of social exclusion (as far as absence of basic skills is concerned). To achieve our aim of inclusion, we will implement in schools and during free time activities new strategies and methods of teaching using collaboration and inclusion.This project proposal addresses the specific needs of pupils from every partner school, on account of the four identified common problems which greatly influence the academic success of the students : a) the absence of social inclusion; b) the absence of basic skills; c) the absence of parental support; d) the absence of socio-economical means. All five schools have carried out the analysis of needs in their schools by analyzing teachers’ views and by administering basic surveys which assess the four setbacks.Prior to developing this project, we did some pre-work on the new strategies and in the end we designated five new ones to employ in our project. One of these methods will be used by every partner school in its school background and its results will be examined and assessed. These results will be also shared and analyzed by all the partners during their project meetings. After the two years’ implementation period, five new strategies will have been implemented and assessed. The participating schools will carry on applying these strategies and methods in their schools depending on the analysis and the rate of success.Our purpose is to develop new strategies for these particular schools so that they will increase their means of preventing school abandon through an international partnership based on collaboration and on the various good practices in each school. The project aims to identify methods to promote inclusion of disadvantaged students in community activities and on the labor market.The partner schools will put into use new links between formal, non formal and informal education to provide our students with solutions to fight against these four problems and to present them with real opportunities for their conduct.Objectives:1- to encourage the inclusion of excluded students, of students who are deprived of basic skills, of students who are at risk of abandoning school and of students with special needs by giving a helping hand in promoting their inclusion into mainstream education and into society.2- to implement new strategies to fight social exclusion, absence of basic skills and school leaving.3-to carry out new methods in regard to the social and emotional development of the child as a component of students with special educational needs ‘ practical curriculum.4-to put to the teachers’ disposal various methods of education and to exchange good practices.Number and profile of the participantsPupils/ teenagers: The project will focus on excluded students and as a consequence 180 students in total will actively participate in the project activities and about 1200 students/ teenagers will be indirectly affected.Educational staff/ Adults: 30 teachers in total, divided into teams of five, from very partner organization, will actively participate in the project, including: an English teacher, a Math teacher, a School Counselor, an ICT teacher and a Physical Education teacher/coach.
