(Beaty & Alexeyen 2008) Our schools have a great responsibility to ensure a positive school climate, equal education for all individuals and positive attitudes for our students. The purpose of our project; to develop a good program by developing the best practices we have experienced with our partners, to spread it to the local, national and international arena, to gain new and sustainable qualifications by strengthening our professional qualifications, to develop a supportive school life for disadvantaged students.
