Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Including, living together, creating Europe" originates from the school necessity of improving the quality in eduacion, specially when talking about the decrease in early drop outs, the inclusion of minorities in the class and the integration of migrants in th educational system.The school is consider to be of "difficult duty" by the administration due to the high percentage of students with learning difficulties, many of them are immigrants in the two first years of compulsary secondary Education. The last economic crisis made the students' social differences deepper, appearing conflicts that we have been trying to solve with some initiatives as for example the mediation team or the story telling workshop. The current migrant movement in Europe due to the war in Siria has caused that some of the north countries in Europe , Sweden among them, want to colaborate and find solutions to a problem of integration in schools that we have been dealing with for almost a decade. Recas town is know because of its high percentage of immigrants, specially from Morocco or Mali although there are also other african nationalities in the town. Because of this background, the councelor department in the school, together with the head teachers are searching for solutions to: a) improve the atmosphere of daily coexistence, the respect and the good understanding of the groups in the school, b)reduce the early dropouts and the school failure in the area, where the number of immigrant students who leave the school without getting a certificate is very high. c) improve the understanding among cultures thanks to action protocols and to the creation of activities to encourage students and families to colaborate in the life of the school. d) increase our international and intercultural dimension, taking part in strategic partnerships and European projects together with teachers around Europe. To achieve these goals we are applying for three mobilities, the first one is a job shadowing for a week in a school in Sweden where they are working with refugees from Siria and with a programme for students who do not speak Swedish so they can help them speed up their integration in the ordinary lessons. We also apply for two courses of Benchmarking in Finland, where the teachers will visit primary and secondary schools where different projects are being held focused on digitalization, the integration of students with learning difficulties and the use of new methodologies as for example task based evaluation and ICT. The participants will be, the councelor for the job shadowing, one member of the aministration of the school (if it doesn't affect to the good working of the school), and another teacher with the needed communicative skills in English and with an open and active participation in the centre. Some objective criteria have been designed to select the teacher for the course once the project is accepted. The final results we achieve to get are the following: Improvement in the communicative skills in English of the participants; increase in the cultural knowledge and understanding of the visited countries by all the educational community; better understanding and improvement in the use of innovative and new strategies and methodological tools in the managing and organizational fields through the use of the ICT and the tasked or proyect based learning; a big network with schools all over Europe, which can help us to create strategic partnerships; application of a ka2 project in 2017 with the school in Sweden to work on the integration of immigrant students; a better understanding and respectful coexistence in the school; creation of a protocol to work with students who are in danger of school failure or early school dropouts; list of activities, tools or methodologies that could be used in the school, focused on increasing the possibilities of students with some kind of learning difficulties to fullfill their secondary education and get a certificate.
