Chapter 3: Overview of Existing Projects on Inclusiveness at School at EU Level
3.2. Analysis of existing projects and selection of best practices
Projects on a local, regional or national scale
Here are three examples among a series of European projects selected as best practices by experts of the NESET II network, in their 2016 report about the social aspects of education and training:

French project: Using elements of mother tongue when teaching French to newly arrived immigrant children
Activities in French and mother tongue for newly-arrived students to foster their multilingual skills. They are based on a comparison between French and other languages, including their mother tongue, working jointly with other students. This method stimulates thinking about languages and offers the learner a real education in the languages/cultures of others, while promoting their own.

Greek project: Promoting Intercultural Communication with Drama Education
Drama education activities in primary and secondary schools, incorporated in the curriculum. They aim to develop intercultural communication and improve the school climate and relationships between migrants and native students

Spanish project: From school to community – a service learning programme
Service learning is derived from a model of relations between school and the surrounding community. Students thus develop citizenship competences which are committed to the collective project of creating a society that is more equal, more inclusive and more open to diversity. In concrete terms, service learning may be described as an educational process which emphasises academic learning at school linked to a form of community service project. Organised in a secondary school in Barcelona.

Conducted and written by the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe, the “Compass: Manual for Human Rights and Education with Young People” offers information and teaching activities for teachers to promote human rights and European values at school.

Project on an international scale
For example, the “Action Week Against Racism

This action week takes place every year in March. It aims to raise students’ awareness about racism and all forms of discrimination. It fosters events that help all students acquire respect of all people’ equal dignity, regardless of their origin, condition and convictions.
