When we say cultural diversity, what words come to mind?
SESSION 1
This project kit will be linked to individual mobility, helping students get ready to take part in individual mobilities as part of the Erasmus+ school education programme. In this case, the partner is in France, but it could be carried out with any other partner country/countries.
In the initial stage, the school used a SWOT analysis, the SELFIE tool and departmental improvement reports to identify a number of urgent needs that require priority attention to ensure the well-being of the school. The findings highlight the following issues in the school community: students have fewer opportunities due to barriers such as disability, socioeconomic challenges and cultural differences; teachers have limited training in the school’s real context, particularly in inclusive practices; and families have low levels of participation in the school community. A decision was thus made to get students democratically involved in an eTwinning project based on their shared concerns and objectives, while teachers participate in developing an Erasmus+ inclusion project to apply for funding under Key Action 122 (KA122).
A series of activity sessions were organised to determine whether the students (from Spain and France, along with those taking part in the mobility programme) would be interested in doing an eTwinning project on a topic that interests them, and to allow them to select it democratically.
