Project goal: Inclusive education for all

The Erasmus project "I' HERE TOO" aims to provide all students with an equal and high-quality education. The focus is on teaching teachers the necessary methods and techniques to successfully implement inclusive education. Inclusive education means that students with special needs learn together with their peers in regular classes. The project takes into account the individual abilities, learning speeds and emotional and cognitive characteristics of the learners, which can vary from person to person.


motivation for the project

Educational equity is a fundamental human right that is UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities This convention requires that people with disabilities not only have access to general education systems, but also receive the necessary support to learn on an equal basis. However, studies show that many teachers do not feel sufficiently prepared to effectively support students with special needs. This project aims to close this gap by teaching teachers innovative, practical and effective approaches to inclusive learning. This should reduce prejudice and promote an inclusive school culture.


target groups of the project

The project is aimed at:

  • 219 teachers from the participating countries (Germany, Türkiye, Malta and Italy), who will expand their skills through further training.
  • 82 inclusively educated students
  • aged 11 to 15, consisting of 22 students from Turkey, 25 from Malta and 35 from Italy.

    • The main target group is teachers, as they play a key role in the successful implementation of inclusive education. They should be enabled to use various teaching methods to respond to the individual needs of students and thus promote their integration into school and social life.


project activities

The project will apply various innovative approaches and techniques of inclusive education, including:

  1. Cooperative Learning: This approach promotes cooperation between students, strengthens their social skills and increases acceptance within the class.
  2. use of digital media
  3. : Teachers receive training on how to use modern technologies in teaching that support inclusive learning, e.g. through adaptive learning software and accessible digital tools.
  4. Creative Methods
  5. : Drama, music, art and digital games are used to develop students' social and emotional skills. These creative approaches help make abstract concepts more tangible and create a motivating learning environment.
  6. Individual support and differentiation
  7. : Teachers learn to use differentiated teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of students. This includes individualized learning plans, targeted support measures and the integration of assistive technologies.

    Advantages of transnational cooperation

    The collaboration with international partners enables the exchange of knowledge and best practices in the field of inclusive education. The partner organisations from Germany, Italy, Malta and Turkey bring different perspectives and expertise that enrich the project. The ARSU Academy in Germany takes the lead in delivering practice-based training and workshops that help teachers implement new approaches directly in their schools. This transnational collaboration helps to develop and disseminate innovative educational strategies that can bring about sustainable change at European level.


    Planned activities and milestones

    The project is divided into four main activities, each taking place in one of the partner countries:

    1. Education Time (Germany, November 2023): Training on the use of IT technologies and promoting inclusion in the classroom.
    2. Let's Learn with Drama (Malta, April 2024)
    3. : Using creative drama to promote social interaction and emotional expression among students.
    4. Let's Learn with Music (Italy, November 2024)
    5. : Integration of music as a didactic tool to support learning and social integration.
    6. Let's Learn by Playing (Türkiye, April 2025)
    7. : Using playful methods to promote language skills and problem-solving skills.

      Long-term impacts and sustainability

      This project will not only improve the quality of the educational process, but will also make an important contribution to the social integration of students with special needs. The training for teachers, the exchange of best practices and the development of new methods will contribute in the long term to establishing inclusive learning environments in the participating schools. The knowledge gained will be shared via the Erasmus platforms and local networks so that the project results are made accessible to a wider public.


      outlook

      In the long term, the project aims to initiate sustainable changes in schools by promoting a more inclusive learning culture. The participating teachers become multipliers who pass on the knowledge they have gained and apply it in their own classes. The students benefit from a supportive and stimulating learning environment that strengthens their academic and social skills. The transnational partnerships help to achieve European educational goals and promote the integration of disadvantaged students.
