Building a better world for all children: Toolkit for social inclusion of migrant or refugee students in schools - output of the international project “Lend a Hand”

At the scope of the Erasmus+ Project Lend a Hand - Social Inclusion Programming for Migrant and Refugee Children at Primary Schools, based on the needs identified by stakeholders (educators, teachers, education and social support technicians, school mediators, refugee emergency and reception specialists and migration support associates) in the three partner countries: Turkey, Italy and Portugal, a strategic action plan was produced aimed at policy makers, with repercussions in the legal framework, school management and at the classroom level. Also, a toolkit was built representing suggested measures to promote inclusion of migrant children / youth in school. The toolkit development was supported by curricula specially conceived for the learning of the language of the host country and for counselling, under a systemic view connecting school, familial and community ambiences. The toolkit consists in a resource set, useful and sustainable for social inclusion at the disposal of all supportive of inclusive education and participating in the global network of inclusive friendly schools fostered by the project.
