Description
Three primary schools will be participating in this project: two from Slovenia and one from Norway (Rundevoll skole, Egersund). The Slovenian primary schools educate children with special needs, also with autism, whereas at the primary school from Norway children with special needs, also with autism, are taught inclusively. The main aim of the project is to learn about the Norwegian school system, their concept of helping children with special needs and the inclusive model of educating. Furthermore the goal is to learn about the working and teaching methods that are being used, how to help and assess the pupils’ knowledge, how to help and advise the parents of these children and also to learn about the extramural ways to help the children and their families. With this project we would also like to introduce to our Norwegian colleagues the Slovenian model of teaching the children with special needs and our extramural concept of helping these children and their families. Four of our participants who daily work with the children with special needs, also with autism, will visit the partner school in Norway.
