Our Erasmus + project called R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
The project is based on the comparative analysis among Germany, Iceland, Spain, Greece, Poland and Finland, having as horizontal priority inclusive education, training youth and as specific priority supporting schools to tackle early school leaving and disadvantaged as well as to address all students from the lowest to the highest end of the academic spectrum.
All the institutions involved will work on the following difficulties:
Students who leave school early due to different reasons, with low academic performance, and poor economic resources.
Immigrant students or refugees with problems to integrate.
Social difficulties such as discrimination for genre, age and sexual orientation.
Geographic obstacles: students from areas (rural or small peripheral islands) where the public transport is really limited.
Our objectives:
-to research and compare ways for avoiding early school leaving, absenteeism, bullying
- to foster school nets in collaborative atmospheres.
- to prevent early school leaving and favouring the inclusion of students in disadvantaged conditions.
-to research and compare more efficient ways in the organization of resources to meet the needs of disadvantaged situations students.
-to carry out activities which reinforce the cooperation among the six countries for the exchanges of good practices.
-to find and search effective ways for the inclusion of immigrants and refugees.
-to design a do´s and dont´s decalogue on ethical habits.
-to create a planning to be presented at schools to show how to act ethically.
-to create cooperative workshops, along with the town council and psychologies.
