Description of the projectThe partnership has the main priority to improve the social inclusion of the vulnerable students from the partner schools, who are at the risk of dropping out of school.
Very often, the vulnerable students get self-excluded because they lack confidence and motivation, they lack knowledge and skills, and they don't feel as belonging to the school community. Many of them, because they are different (some of them are overweight, some get from various ethnic minorities, some have a migrant background or get from families with social difficulties), have developed over the years, some psychological trauma. |
RULE NUMBER ONE
Struggle with your limits
Physical education and ICT
RULE NUMBER TWO
In order to address these needs, we considered both sports/physical education and ICT, as tools which can bring added value to overcome two main barriers to integration: the lack of confidence and motivation and the lack of knowledge and skills which can give them access to social and economic opportunities. Sports can be an efficient tool, a common language for all partners because sports are a means to increase the confidence of vulnerable people. Engaging in sport would enable all the people to interact positively, thus furthering integration. In the same time, technology, which is nowadays kind of environment, will help us to create a space of social inclusion by helping us to manage different aspects of our lives better. In this context, following the Latin dictum "Mens Sana in corpore sano" we intend to gather all the positive energy of young people from the 6 partner countries, in a project that will be a model of European cooperation. Six students exchanges events will offer opportunities to these young people to overcome their fears and vulnerabilities by sharing emotions and knowledge with peers from other countries. |
Complementary, the eTwinning activities developed to support cooperation will increase the chances of success and at the end of the project, all the direct beneficiaries (approx. 300): will improve their school performances and communication abilities, thus achieving better results in school subjects (comparison before and after) and will have increased their propensity to get involved in school community activities and projects.
