Description
Children with SEN, including Roma face negative stereotypes and discriminatory institutional practices in the school environment (e.g. bullying, marginalization,) which increase the risk of dropping out of school. The mainstream education system does not have the human resources with know-how regarding the protection and observance of human rights who have accessed continuous training programs for working with children with SEN or who use assistive materials or teaching and assessment methods adapted to the needs of each student with SEN. The project trains 40 specialists, develops a community of practice consisting of specialists from the public and NGO sector, develops individual or group activities for the benefit of 200 children and young people with SEN, develops working tools in the classroom/counseling for respecting the rights of children and young people with SEN (10 digital learning sessions, 1 online game), monitors and documents inclusiveness issues at the level of mainstream education and runs an awareness campaign on social media on the rights of children and young people with SEN and the development of a positive attitude towards their inclusion. The partner CMBRAE represents the public authority and contributes with the expertise and legitimacy of the legal mandate and the partner from Norway the role of transferring the models of good practice from the international level.
The community of practice will be supported to include more specialists and will be integrated in the other projects and initiatives of the project partners in Romania (coalitions and networks). The digital learning sessions will be available and used after the project will be finished by specialists, teachers and partner organizations from Romania, SECS and CMBRAE, as well as by other specialists in related fields such as school / health mediator, community nurse and school, family medicine, social worker and SPAS services.
