Project Summary

Context
It cannot be denied that all the subjects at school are equally important. One of the tasks of teachers and syllabuses alike is to find ways to avoid any kind of discrimination among students. This can be achieved by offering them behavior role models, that is to say, teachers capable of instructing and guiding their students into the benefits of group cohesion and harmony in order to develop personalities that can fit, be adapted and accepted in today’s demanding society. It is also of paramount importance to encourage students to improve attitudes and acceptance among their peers. One of the subjects that can really help improve positive attitudes among peers is Physical Education. This subject and its teachers take care of the students’ fitness and health. It also trains them in different sports and athletics events to become familiar with their rules. Team work is extremely important so that individual tasks within the team may encourage team success by respecting the other members’ tasks and skills. It is in this environment in which the idea of respect flourishes and strengthens the bonds among peers as well as teaching them to be more sensible towards issues related to bullying and any other kind of discrimination. Physical Educations is, somehow, a landmark in the training of students to avoid harassment.
Objectives
Our aims are:
1. To allow teachers to deal with the problem of violence, bullying and discrimination at an institutional level
2. To unfold a common strategy of prevention of violence
3. To foster a culture of care, mutual respect and tolerance
4. To foster the acceptance of weaker students
5. To ease communication of participants’ interpersonal and intercultural skills
6. To build up the environment for students’ learning
7. To spread self-expression and creativity
8. To encourage disinhibition and trustfulness among students with a fragile background.
9. To encourage students to boost their personal interaction
10. To invite teachers to give students a balanced education and equality of opportunities
11. To encourage students to increase their self-esteem by offering them they right tasks and activities.
Participants
This project is addressed to teachers. They are the ones who experience and know about violence and bullying at schools. They will exchange experiences and will identify the good practices. However, a second target of the project is that of students, mostly when considering those students whose attitude is negative and has to be changed. They should learn about the causes and consequences of violence and discrimination. Instead, they should learn values such as tolerance, respect, approval and acceptance to let everyone be at ease at school.
Activities
C1 – Violence and discrimination in schools – aspects to be dealt with (short term joint staff)
C3 – Stop violence (student exchange)
C4 – Reject bullying (student exchange)
C5 – Embrace equality (student exchange)
Results
The concrete results. A step-by-step report on ways to address violence and discrimination at the school level. A student magazine, a calendar of the most important moments in the project, a website that will contain all the activities developed, information about the project and its objectives, students’ works during LTTAs, a collection of CDs with stories form photographic reports, movies. We also plan another set of results: the participants will increase their awareness of the importance of the concept of equality and, therefore, they will be more open to differences. They will also increase their respect and tolerance towards other people, develop their communication skills in English, their interpersonal skills and social skills as a result of working directly with multinational teams and living with host families. The project will result in a better intercultural awareness, a reduction in the number of cases of bullying and a better atmosphere of work.
Impact
There is no doubt that participation in the project will be highly beneficial for our institutions. The number of violent incidents among students will certainly be reduced as a result of activities focused on the topic basically designed to improve their awareness and will also have a positive emotional effect on them. Dissemination after exchanges is intended to target as many students as possible, the project impact on their behaviour and attitude will be increased and passed on from participants to other students. In the long term, educators will be able to manage these issues much better at local level and also carry out initiatives together with authorities. The ideas and practices exchanged with their European peers will allow them to unfold their methods. Attending regular classes during LTTAs, watching presentations of partner countries educational systems and attending talks with peers, teachers will be able to detect good practices and adapt them to their own schools.
