The project aims at strengthening knowledge generation, innovation and dissemination in relation to multilingualism, multiculturalism and teacher well-being through national and international partnerships.
Inclusive education is increasingly important in Europe with the large number of new refugees in many countries. The situation with a growing number of refugee children in schools calls for good methods of inclusion, in order to deal with diversity in a constructive way and use it as a resource. We want to explore how the concept of teacher well-being can be one of the ways to deal with and benefit from diversity through a better inclusion of all children. In order to effectively meet the needs of refugee children, quality inclusion strategies are essential. Teachers are challenged and increasingly overwhelmed in this changing context. Therefore inclusive strategies that cater also for teachers well-being are key to sustainable inclusion in schools.
This Erasmus+ funded project is working with a number of schools and higher education institutes to trial and provide a framework for better methods for improving teacher well-being and embracing diversity in educational settings.
