 ABOUT THE PROJECT

         This project stems from the necessity to create collaboration to achieve a common purpose: finding solutions to counteract social exclusion. In the light of the social crisis which has impacted greatly on Europe, this project also aims at educating young people and give them a deeper understanding of the need to face current social problems and to get involved, propose and carry out initiatives that will have an impact on their social environment. Bearing this in mind, main objectives of this project are the following:

  1. To educate the school community and help them to understand the need to face current    problems related to refugees, migration and other social situations, as well as the urgent need to be engaged and look for initiatives which help to lighten the negative impact of this social situation.
  2. To encourage young people to become responsible EU citizens, aware of and respecting the different cultures.
  3. To raise public awareness of the need to work together to ensure the future of our communities and the entire world. 
  4. To motivate young people: they will feel relevant and satisfied of helping and trying to create a better and safer world as well as experience first hand important aspects of cooperation in the EU.
  5. To motivate students and teachers in language education and its importance to communicate with European partners.
  6. To design and implement motivational and meaningful activities which help to achieve all other objectives, develop competences and act from an entrepreneurial perspective.
  7. To obtain relevant ouputs and outcomes and diffuse them through various ways in order to cause a significant impact on participants and communities.


          Moreover, carrying out this project transnationally is also important due to several reasons, such as sharing knowledge and experiences, encouraging participants to enhance their social responsibility and enriching their knowledge about other countries, thus increasing respect for each other and our differences. Participants´ language skills will be also promoted and the experiences linked to this project will possibly enhance further European cooperation.
     The activities which will be implemented during the project will be varied and will guide participants towards active engagement in social inclusion (development of an inclusion plan to integrate students with social difficulties and their families, including immigrants; creation of an international network with students and teachers; organization of a letter-writing campaign to offer proposals to local authorities...).
         Finally, it is expected that this project will have a considerable impact and long-term benefits for participants, as they will increase their knowledge about refugees and immigrants through direct contact, will learn to look immigration from different perspectives and will have a better understanding of refugees’ situation. Besides, they will enhance their language, digital, social, professional and cooperative skills, will get the feeling to contribute by helping in inclusive education and will strengthen their empathy and engagement.

OECD FORUM   During the OECD Forum "Strength through Diversity", held the 15th and 16th of November 2018 in Tenerife (Canary Islands), our Erasmus+ project "International cooperation: improving the future" was presented as a good practice related to immigrant and refugee educational inclusion in remote regions. In this sense, we were told that our presentation showed "the important work being done for the integration of migrant and refugee students and it also provided an excellent example of good practices for the participants to bring back and incorporate into their respective countries, regions and school systems". We thank the OECD and the OPEEC for giving us the opportunity to take part in this forum and share our project with all the participants from different countries and educational systems.   You will find information related to the forum and our presentation  by clicking on this link and going to session 5: http://www.oecd.org/edu...

Moreover, students worked in multicultural groups to discuss about all the presentations and they presented the most relevant ideas they extracted. They could also develop their creativity in order to write and stage short perf...
