Crossing Borders: New Approaches to Inclusion
Project Summary
This
project, entitled "Crossing Borders: New Approaches to Inclusion" is a
cooperation between teachers and students (aged 13-15) from Denmark,
Spain, Poland and Austria with people with special needs carrying out
activities and workshops on a national level in different cultural /
social / sports / environmental and arts contexts in order to foster
social inclusion.
Throughout the course of the project, there will be various opportunities to involve people with disabilities and special needs to foster social inclusion and to bring them in connection with students from participating schools. Project partners will find one or more institutions or training facilities for people with special needs in order to cooperate with them on a national level. Students will get an in-school training carried out by professionals for handicapped people in order to integrate the topic “inclusion” at school and to put it on the daily curriculum. As a following step students will transfer their knowledge gained in the theoretical training at school to practical training sessions at local institutions that care for handicapped and disadvantaged people. As a third step experiences gained in in-school training and in the cooperation with handicapped people at the local institution will be transferred on a European level and exchanged with project partners.
