Meeting in Jena
|
On 24-25 August the second meeting of the project partners was held in Jena (Germany). This meeting follows the one held in January in Modena (photo 1, photo 2, photo 3, photo 4), where the research partners had established the action plan
for the first part of the project. Many topics were discussed in Jena, including: the definition of training for teachers; the schedule of meetings with schools; the definition of the first set of questionnaires to get the feedback from the target; the design of archiving and dissemination tools. The following people attended the meeting: Claudio Baraldi, Mathilde Berhault, Luisa Conti, Federico Farini, Silvia Godano, Vittorio Iervese, Beverley Nightingale. The next meeting is scheduled at the end of January 2017. |

Background questionnaire
|
In June 2016 a first set of background questionnaires relevant to improving our knowledge of the classes involved in the project was distributed. Together with general
data on the children (age, sex, origin, language spoken, etc.) the questionnaire aims to collect more information about the relationship within peers and between children
and adults in school. The questionnaire covers various topics, e.g. personal relationships and conflicts in the classroom, that are expected to be addressed in the
activities planned for the next school year. The number of feedbacks received is very high, showing a high participation of children in this preliminary phase of the project. |

About
|
With SHARMED diversity gets to the centre of the learning experience, fostering inclusive didactic processes, particularly with an eye to children of migrant background.
By integrating the context of each individual in the class, the pupils will be offered the opportunity to use photographs to narrate their personal and family
memories. Working with teachers, children and their parents/carers, SHARMED combines dialogue with intercultural education. Are you a teacher, a pupil or a parent/carer? In the Sharmed web-site there is a specific section for you. Just click here! |
