Project Summary
Over the past several years,tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers-including an unprecendented number of children-have braved rough seas and barbed-wire barricades to find safety and beter life in Europe.Are our schools prepared to help refugee students integrate into their new communities? And will they succeed in preparing all students for a world in which people are willing and able to collaborate with others of diverse cultural origins;appreciate diffrent ideas,perspectives and values;and join others in life,work and citizenship?Even before this latest influx,the population of refugee students had been growing and refugees are concentrated in schools-classrooms and community-ampliyfing the challenge of diversity for teachers, school leaders and policy makers.The successful integration of refugees involves a whole range of policy domains and therefore requires a hole-of-government,and indeed a whole-of-society,response.But education plays a crucial part in this.The policies and practices that countries use to integrate refugee students into schools have a major influence on whether integration is successful or not;and countries that are unsuccessful in integrating the first generation will pay an even larger price in future generations.So what should we do?Our project’s aims to provide language instruction ,offer high quality of early childhood education, encourage all teachers,prepare themselves for diverse classrooms,reach out the refugee parents,provide them social/counselling support.There will be 4 projects meetings will be planned during the project.Two meetings in the first year,two in the second year for planing,managing the process,improving the activities,distrubiting the tasks and responsibilities,correct social dialogues.M1:(2 participants) This meeting will allow adjusting the project organisation, considering the complexity linked to the number of countries, the introduction of the school/organisations and its systems ,adjusting the project organisation,introduction of the nearest environment in December 2016 in Turkey.

Educational authorities will scrutinise the procedures for assigning refugee children to schools for children with special needs.It will improve the general quality of the school via measures that include good management of the school, good cooperation among teaching staff, high expectations of teachers with readiness to give support, good quality of teaching, good discipline, good equipment of the school and strong parent involvement.The students will gain positive attitudes and behaviours and make the society change positively in the long term. Active involvement in the learning process.This project will help students to eradicate some barriers and phobias which prevent them actively involved in the activities and to encourage them to gain self-confidence.
