I'M HERE TOO: Inclusive Education for All 🎓🌍

Project Overview

The Erasmus project "I'M HERE TOO" aims to provide all students with equal and high-quality education. The focus is on training teachers to successfully implement inclusive education approaches. Inclusive education means that children with special needs are taught together with their peers in regular classes, while considering their individual abilities, learning speeds, and emotional and cognitive characteristics.

Motivation for the Project

Educational equity is a fundamental human right enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This convention demands that people with disabilities not only have access to education systems but also receive the necessary support to learn on an equal footing.

However, studies show that many teachers do not feel adequately prepared to effectively support students with special needs. This project seeks to bridge this gap by providing innovative, practical, and effective teaching methods. The goal is to break down prejudices and foster an inclusive school culture.

Target Groups of the Project

👩‍🏫 Teachers – 219 teachers from Germany, Turkey, Malta, and Italy, who will enhance their skills through training programs.

👦👧 Students in inclusive education – 82 children aged 11 to 15 years
(22 from Turkey, 25 from Malta, 35 from Italy).

Since teachers play a key role in the success of inclusive education, they will be trained to apply diverse teaching methods, better address students' individual needs, and promote their integration into school life.

Project Activities

🔹 Cooperative Learning – Encouraging collaboration between students to strengthen social skills and acceptance.

🔹 Use of Digital Media – Training on modern technologies such as adaptive learning software & accessible digital tools.

🔹 Creative Methods – Theater, music, art & digital games to develop social & emotional skills and make abstract concepts more tangible.

🔹 Individual Support & Differentiation – Personalized learning plans & targeted support measures to meet diverse needs.

Benefits of Transnational Collaboration

The international partnership enables the exchange of best practices and experiences in inclusive education. The four partner countries contribute different perspectives that enrich the project:

🇩🇪 Germany (ARSU Academy) – Practice-oriented training & workshops for teachers.

🇮🇹 Italy – Promotion of music as an inclusive teaching tool.

🇲🇹 Malta – Creative methods with drama & theater.

🇹🇷 Turkey – Use of playful learning methods to develop language and problem-solving skills.

This European-wide collaboration helps develop innovative educational strategies that lead to long-term positive change.

Planned Activities & Milestones 📅

📍 Education Time (Germany, November 2023) – IT technologies for inclusive teaching.

📍 Let’s Learn with Drama (Malta, April 2024) – Promoting social interaction through theater.

📍 Let’s Learn with Music (Italy, November 2024) – Integrating music as a didactic tool.

📍 Let’s Learn by Playing (Turkey, April 2025) – Playful methods for language development.

Long-Term Impact & Sustainability

This project will sustainably improve the quality of the educational process and make a significant contribution to the social inclusion of children with special needs.

✅ Teacher Training – Developing sustainable competencies for inclusive teaching.

✅ Exchange of Best Practices – Sharing insights through Erasmus platforms & local networks.

✅ Multiplier Effect – Teachers as ambassadors for inclusive education in their schools.

✅ Creating Inclusive Learning Environments – Long-term integration of methods into daily school life.

Outlook



In the long run, the project aims to establish a culture of inclusive learning. Participating teachers will act as multipliers, passing on the knowledge they have acquired and actively implementing it. Students will benefit from a supportive and motivating learning environment that enhances their academic and social skills.

The transnational partnerships will contribute to achieving European educational goals and promoting the integration of disadvantaged students. 🌍✨
