DIRES - Erasmus+

Project kit description

We would like to develop a European educational partnership between six participating organisations, focusing on Inclusion for disabled students. It will help to reduce disparities, not only in learning at school, but also by encouraging students with special needs to participate actively in activities and mobilities (Erasmus +) offered by the project. Teachers will also benefit from the project by exchanging experiences and by developing new competences and methodologies to adapt their courses to the needs of the students.

Objectives

The students will participate in European mobilities for disabled and mainstream students. There will be inclusion in pairwork (group and collaborative) between disabled and mainstream students. All students will participate in adapted, concrete and play activities. Our aim in this project is for a better and easier integration of all differences, particularly those of students with special needs. There is the possibility for students to develop their mobility and to find new friends in Europe, outside their school. This will also be achieved by penpaling (email, use of "Chat" feature, video-conferencing) and of course by using Twinspace. The students will have the opportunity to communicate and use English as a common language. It will also enable students to use a foreign language prehaps learned at school. Students will use ICT tools creating maps, videos, PPT/PREZI presentations.
