Project Summary

Title: Europe+Emotions=Inclusion.
Be different, accept and learn… in a united Europe!
Our Mission: Learning together promoting emotional education in European schools for an inclusive emotional well-balanced society.
Our project objective is to impulse the development of social, civic and intercultural skills in a European dimension through emotional education. Every school has a totally different background and culture. Every school has a different approach to manage social problems to their children, students and teachers. How do they do that? Which school has experience on that subject? That will be our first step: learning from each other by visiting each school during the project. What is the vision of the school? What are the strengths of each member on that subject. How do they manage bullying? How do they learn their children to be tolerant European citizens in a world that is nowadays very divers?
The project´s goal is to create a sustainable common approach realted to emotions management as a result of the learning process from each school’s line of work in their social context. This approach will lead to create a sustainable common line of action between all partners. It will lead to a positive school climate in which our students and teachers are coming ‘whistling to school’. We believe that emotional well-being is an essential prerequisite to lead to a society where they can learn which and from each other. A society where there is harmony between all participants.
With this project, we intent to implement meaningful goals on the way we work with all members of the educational community. For this purpose, a set of outcomes is foreseen:
– Creation and use of a Guideline of social skill management that is focused on the background of each school.
– Creation and use of a Toolkit full of strategies and resources to use in favor of preserving harmony and a positive climate in our schools,
– Creation of a positive climate in our schools which will lead to harmony between teachers and pupils.
– Creation of online tutorials that can be used for all teachers in all educational stages we comprise, interested in achieving the objectives.
In this joint idea, we will built a strong partnership between five kindergartens and schools from several European countries. Given that each partner is currently working in the field of emotional management to create a better school coexistence and inclusion. The partnership improves all partners’ competence complementing each another in pursuing the common goal. Each school´s strengths in emotions management, are opportunities of learning and improving for the rest.
This partnership has been selected very carefully according to our realities, experiences and motivations, with a good strategy of common work and clear objectives. This is necessary in the context of each school. It is a Project with active participation of all the parties involved (students, teachers, families), which is necessary in the current (local and European) context.
All activities will be planned together. We will follow the same strategies to achieve our objectives. Activities will be connected and will give each other a meaningful role in the development of the project. Each international and shared activity will be worked out and prepared with local activities. The use of the etwinning platform to communicate, participate, organize, and work together, is thoughtfully combined with international meetings and LTTs that are necessary to achieve a strong improvement in our action plan.
Teachers mobility are planned to share and learn those good practices each partners has developed.
Our students play an important role in this project. The students mobility planned offer them the internationalization and intercultural awareness as a strong pillar to implement the changes needed in our schools and in their equals. Students will learn by sharing and working with their international partners and experiencing different daily learning situations during their visits.
A sustainable result of this project is to enrich each other to become a school where all participants accept each other.
There will be an ongoing evaluation of the project by the coordinators, by the active participants, by students,… to ensure a well development and that it follows our project planning towards our objectives.
The wider European educational community will benefit from the project through the dissemination and exploitation of the outcomes that each partner will carry out and through the project´s web-page in the teachers room and in the schools of their community.

Together, educating in positive harmony for an inclusive well-balanced emotional society.
