Project Summary

The PLURIS ACTORS project stems from the three partners’ motivation to respond to the need to improve and update their methodologies and educational approaches in order to facilitate intercultural and inclusive processes, especially in multicultural and multi-lingual classes.
In addition, the project responds to the Institutes’ need acquire experiences in the management of European projects, in order to develop the European dimension of local educational processes.
In relation to the priority “Promoting a Comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning”, the project sets out the following specific objectives:
For teachers, educators and staff members, improving:
-the use of inclusive and cooperative approaches in multi-lingual classes
– intercultural competences
– management skills of European projects and especially in relation to the management of a project under the Erasmus + programme
– the ability to network at local and international level
– educational quality standards, activating inclusive and intercultural paths
– Make International mobility pathways complementary to curricular pathways
– Standardize procedures and tools for managing international mobility projects, through the use of digital applications, which can simplify administrative and organisational work
-To increase and improve the collaboration with the Consortium’s partners and also with external institutions and organisatons, to develop effective, sustainable and repeatable local and international proposals.
For students, improving:
-their intercultural, collaborative and socio-relational, digital and communicative competences, their sense of citizenship, equity and equal human dignity.
-the critical spirit and autonomy through international exchange pathways
The expected results are as follows:
-improvement of students, teachers and staff competences so that the Institutes are inclusive and able to create intercultural learning environments
-improvement of methods and tools to foster inclusion in plurilingual and multicultural classes
-sharing common methods and guidelines in the management of inclusive and collaborative processes
-improvement of management of European projects linked to school curricula
-broadening of networks and partnerships in favour of sharing methods, methodologies and experiences.
In the project will be involved: 162 students and 18 accompanying teachers in short-term exchanges; 15 teachers for the international training; 3 Project Coordination Teams composed of at least 5 persons each; The whole school community will be directly or indirectly involved in the implementation of the project especially in local actions.
The Project includes the following activities:
-Action Research on inclusive methods and methodologies in multicultural contexts and multilingual classes
-Elaboration of protocols and guidelines for inclusive learning in multicultural contexts and multilingual classes
-Design and testing of educational tools related to project themes
-1 Training for teachers
-3 short-term exchanges for students in each project partner country
The operative methodologies are related to the non-formal education, experiential learning and Gestalt theory’s principles. Each activity includes active and participative methodologies. The use of new technologies and distance learning is envisaged above all as complementary to international actions.
This initiative will allow all the Institutions involved to develop methodologies and educational approaches useful to make their contexts more inclusive and participatory, going to enhance the cultural and linguistic diversity especially in the multilingual classes.
The tools and methods created, used and tested throughout the project will be useful assets not only for the staff of the partner Institutes but for any Institute or training centre that wants to benefit from it.
The project will also enahnce the capacities of the partner Institutes to manage European projects, integrating a European dimension into their local curricular pathways
These skills and tools will not only make the Institutions more inclusive and attentive to the European and intercultural dimension of learning, but will foster the well-being and personal growth of students, stimulate the creativity of staff and families while working in multi-actorial contexts.
Finally, the use distance Learning tools such as e-Twining will contribute to the digitisation of competences ,facilitating the Institutes to respond to the needs and competences of the XXI century students.
