Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships in school education: Co-creating inclusive school communities

The main aim of the project is to support schools in strengthening inclusive school communities in which every participant is welcomed, respected, valued and given a voice and that embrace and appreciate diversity in culture, religion, gender, ability or socioeconomic background. Many schools in Europe struggle at creating equal opportunities for all learners. This requires an inclusive community where each actor (teachers, learners, parents, school leaders, partners outside school) engages in and feels responsible for creating inclusive school cultures, and is supported in individual and collective learning processes. Within such an inclusive school community, the learning environment and social environment are closely linked. Within this project, the focus is on the social environment where all school community members are given a voice. Through inclusive school communities, schools can increase engagement with actors within and outside the school community and are more likely to secure sustainable improvement towards the best and equal opportunities for all learners.
