Description
“Together for an inclusive school” is a 24 months project which aims to increase the institutional capacity of 5 schools from Ilfov county (Gymnasium School no. 1 Pantelimon, Gymnasium School no. 4 Buftea, Gymnasium School Nr. 1 Tunari, Gymnasium School no. 3 Sinteşti – vidra, "Cezar Nicolau" Technological High School) to develop inclusive culture and practices for Roma children by: (1) training 78 teachers in adapting teaching methods to students’ needs, inclusive school, democracy and human rights; (2) developing 6 school curriculum on inclusion, with focus on Roma inclusion and (3) implementing non-formal activities for 265 students (at least 50% are Roma). Also, the project raises awareness and knowledge on discrimination issues through parental activities with 150 parents (50% of them are Roma). Thus, the project will have an impact on all the 3 target groups – students, parents and teachers through measures and activities adapted for the needs of the groups.
The main issue that will be addressed through the project is the reduced access to quality inclusive education for children and young people at risk in Ilfov County. The causes that determine this problem are: school activities not adapted to the needs of students, teachers not prepared to face multiple and different needs of students, lack of effective communication between teachers - students - parents, low quality of school education.
All 5 schools selected to be part of the consortium are located in marginalized communities and exposed to social exclusion.
