Project Summary

Diversity of youngsters in a group whether it is cultural or physical or other brings often misunderstanding and put some people on the sidelines. The main goal of this project was the creation of simple and efficient tools for professionals working with these youngsters.
In order to reach this goal we have worked on several topics such as prejudices, communication, tolerance, social inclusion or social integration of a young within a group.
This work is the fruit of the collaboration of four countries of Europe: France, Italy, Romania and Poland. Three of the four schools involved are public general high schools and the fourth is a rural private high school. This European collaboration enabled us to debate, analyze get informed, compare and enhance differences and open minds. This European partnership was a real richness for this project not only in sharing experiences, knowledges but also in creative brainstorming.
In our fours schools about two hundred pupils, thirty teachers, several administrative officers and headmasters actively participated to the creation of this project. We also worked with association already working on these issues in order to take advantage of their experience.

In order to carry out this work, goals have been set. The first is the creation of a pedagogical kit including a video on the theme of knowledge of the other and tolerance, a leaflet which underlines the different ways of living and communication of our four countries, the barriers which can hamper the meeting, collaborative games which have different objectives (group cohesion, social inclusion…).
In order to ease the promotion of this kit and our different projects, we have created an association “Include me” as well as a website “http.incude–me.weebly.com”.
This objective was also, thanks to the stays in families and in the different schools of the pupils and teachers, to allow everyone to discover new cultures, new ways of life and new educational systems but also to improve the skills in foreign languages.
During these two years several activities have been created such as:
– Implementation of surveys in order to list the reasons for exclusion amongst youngsters,
– Debates around the welcoming of foreigners in our four countries,
– Meeting associations working on inclusion and integration in order to broaden the discussion,
– Sketches and workshops on these themes (prejudices, tolerance, freedom, fraternity…),
– Pedagogical tools creation: video, booklet and cooperative games,
– Tests of the tools and improvement proposals,
– Association creation
– Creation of means of dissemination (logo, flyers, website, roll up, pens, mugs, USB keys…)
– Creation of satisfaction surveys to assess the kit presentation

The realization of all these activities enabled us to present the pedagogical kit to about thirty different organizations such as schools, associations working on inclusion theme as well as leisure associations. After this presentation some of these tools have been used by head teachers or leisure association animators and they have showed their efficiency. These tools enable to improve professional working conditions but also to make youngsters aware that the exchange with others and the acceptance of the difference is a real richness for them.
The results of our researches and of our creations have been broadcasted thanks to the web site and the association.

This project has also enabled not only to the pupils, the staff involved but also to the whole of the pupils of the schools, to be aware of their membership to the European Union and to the opportunities that it represents.

The association will remain in the long run because every partner has committed itself to answer to every need which concerns the presentation of this kit. The web site will carry on to develop particularly thanks to new projects ERASMUS and new parternships.
