Description
The project aims to increase the degree of social inclusion of children living in rural areas from 5 counties (Suceava, Botosani, Harghita and Tulcea) belonging to three development regions of Romania.
The main target groups are: 750 children and youth (6-17 years old), in situations of risk of dropping out of school and 80 children with special educational needs, selected from 11 schools involved in the project. Among beneficiaries are included Roma ethics from two villages (Drăgoiești/Suceava and Niculițel/Tulcea). The secondary target groups are: 268 parents / family members, 211 teachers, 150 children and youth and 50 parents of children interacting with children and young people in the main target groups.
The project activities will directly contribute to the improvement of the education process in the schools involved and to a more efficient use of existing resources, especially of human resources. Also, the project proposes an integrated and innovative approach: creation of a website that will bring “face to face” (in a virtual way) the need of teachers and parents to face the challenges in dealing with children at risk (including CES) and the solutions offered by specialists involved in the project.
The proposed activities are: "school after school" (including meals, supplies, non-formal education activities – sport, creative activities like painting, dance, theatre, photography, music, pottery etc.); services for children with SEN and / or disabilities (including physical therapy, psychotherapy, speech therapy, counselling / psychological therapy); educational activities in the field of anti-discrimination and active citizenship; parental education programs; training courses for teachers in the field of inclusive education and ESC / disability issues; actions to promote inclusive education (i.e. information campaign on the role of parents in the child''s education, actions on issues related to gender equality).
