Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

CONTEXTEurope in 2016 is a place where there is a need to reaffirm fundamental rights which are called into question by states’ policy on migration and by the dichotomy between European traditions and new cultural models. There are today large portion of European societies willing to “discriminate” in order to “protect” themselves from the perceived risks brought by increasing migration flows. Taking into account such a context, education becomes more and more the crucial point of any possible improvement of social understanding and peaceful cohabitation in a renewed European society. OBJECTIVESThe I Have Rights (IHR) project has the objective to provide secondary school teachers with the skills to deal with multicultural classrooms where European fundamental values are shared and understood. Through the project, teachers will acquire intercultural competences based on the knowledge and understanding of human rights and non-discrimination values with reference to migration, thus contributing to create an educational policy able to promote equality in European society.TARGET GROUPSThe main target groups of the project are: - secondary school students and teachers - school headmasters and administrative staff; - policy makers and experts in the field of education ACTIVITIESThe project activities will be organized in the following phases:Phase 1 - Data collection an analysis for the collection of Case Studies and Best PracticesThis phase is devoted to the scientific analysis of the state of the art in non-discrimination and intercultural competences in secondary schools. The aim is to assess the perception on discrimination and migration related issues of the target groups (students, teachers, headmasters, administrative personnel, parents).
