ABOUT THE PROJECT
Born to promote the inclusion, the Inclusive Break project aims to make the school recess a common learning space in which support the integration of everybody. Especially because of any kind of difficulties students may have (disabilities, fewer opportunities, insecurities or difficulties to socialize), they need to feel safe, united, respected and not judged in a strong social system as the school. Instead, this last one is often a place of stereotype, bullyism episodes, group labels and divisions.
Through the Inclusive Break project, it is expected the improvement of the school time quality, promoting the acceptance of others, paying the appropriate attention to students’ needs, helping them to feel integrated and raising awareness of their difficulties.
In order to set this spiral of inclusiveness in the school and in the lifetime, it will be created an interactive handbook composed of a non-formal pedagogical methodology, as well as of activities promoting the participation and the inclusion of all the students. It will lead the experts to improve their skills and to put in place the set-out approach.
The handbook and all the project process will be backed by the aim to raise values related to equality and solidarity, going, instead, against exclusion and intolerance. It will influence not just the scholastic field, but it will reflect on society too.
