There are 13% of students with special needs in our school. Concerning the changes in nowadays circumstances the concept of special needs is becoming wider and is still expanding not only theoretically but also practically. The number of students of different nationalities and of various languages is increasing because of the coming back migrants and mixed families also children from the refugee families. Today there are students of different nationalities in our school. These are children of immigrants and coming back families from Eastern and Western Europe also children from Irac (totally 11 nationalities). The school is a member of Assumption schools network and has a permanent contract of collaboration with Assomption France, pursues Erasmus+ KA1 (2014/2016) project, also takes part in other projects as a partner school. The school has its European development plan which enables to form the strategy of the school considering the international projects, their priorities and work in international school network.The aim of the Project “Pavadinimas“ is to seek better quality of inclusive education of these children who are in families facing uncomfortable social situation and to improve competences of teachers and staff. The objectives of the aim are:1. To improve the basic competences of the other languages (English, French) of those teachers who teach other subjects (not foreign language).2. To educate intercultural and social competences working in heterogeneous classes.3. To encourage knowledge and ability to empathize and respect the lifestyle and values of the other cultures.4. To reinforce partnership between schools implementing the Assomption education and other ones integrating the migrants from EU schools into the national education.

This selection of the Project participants was made considering general and special criteria. The main point of this selection includes the aim of the particular mobility, the motivation of the employees, their preparation to share the obtained experience, ability to use acquired competences themselves and share with other colleagues. Moreover the priority goes to these persons who work with newcomer migrants and students having special needs (especially those who have development disorder and mental disability) or did not participate in the earlier Erasmus+ KA1 mobility programmes. The right experience in realizing other projects and the clear vision of performing activities will help to succeed in this Project.
