Project Summary

The project proposal is based on the Communication From The Commission To The European Parliament, The Council, The European Economic And Social Committee And The Committee Of The Regions “Tackling early school leaving: A key contribution to the Europe 2020 Agenda”.
The project intends to develop and disseminate a pedagogic method, based on the theoretical foundation of the “Didactic Pill” focused on life skills, aiming to prevent and/or to face the early school leaving phenomenon.
The project partnership, based on the respective roles and members’ responsibilities, will experiment territorial actions in Schools to encourage and thinning the dynamics of contact between the school system and youth population (until 18 y.o.) in order to reduce the phenomenon of school drop-outs, with particular regard to the SEN, using ICT as a key enabler of innovation and change in Education and Training and for learning in general.
At methodological level two are the core elements of this project:
– life skills, understood as skills to be enhanced to improve the relationship with oneself and therefore also with learning and with the school
– technology as a factor enabling learning, even at a distance, and as a factor that reduces the distances between students with and without special needs
Both of these elements favor the improvement of school performances and the permanence of students with SEN (but, more generally, of all students) in school
The expected results of the project are the following:
• Explore learning practices that will help develop autonomy, commitment, creative action, critical thinking, problem solving and decision making.
• Improve knowledge of new technologies and interactive tools as an educational medium.
• Increase digital literacy (knowledge + skills + tools) by users and partner members.
• Stimulate forms of collaboration and communication virtual and face to face.
• Development of intervention models on the phenomenon of early school leaving to be replicated and exploited, focusing on inclusion
• Stimulate student integration processes with Sen
• Educate young people to use mobile phones as a work and integration tool
• Testing of non-formal education methodologies in order to combat early school leaving
In the long term, potential long term effects could be the following:
– a reduction of school dropouts and a consequent reduction of skills misalignments between education systems and the labor market
– students will get in touch with mobile phones and learn to use them wisely while carrying out the activities
– learning will become more interesting and attractive for each student, and therefore will increase their interest and participation during the lesson
– teachers will learn how to integrate new technologies into classrooms and improve their learning approaches, including through collaboration with teachers from different countries
– through the use of ICT in education, classrooms will become active organizations, as each student will be actively involved in lesson activities in various ways
– each school will collect educational resources (platform with content, e.g. lesson plans, software, interactive games, video presentations, educational videos etc.) which may be available to all teachers in each school. These will be useful to improve the functioning of distance learning, useful for dealing with situations such as the pandemic we are currently experiencing.
