Abstract
Schools across Europe are seeing a rise in the number of children born and raised in a different country, therefore integration of migrants is at the top of the EU political agenda, while Education has a vital role in closing the gap and fostering the integration of immigrant students in schools. The DEVCULT project aims to combine the aforementioned in order to provide effective solutions for integration, social inclusion and bonding between native and immigrant populations in European Schools; enhancing school teachers’ competences and fostering more interaction between teachers, parents and students who coexist in multicultural classrooms.
According to the European Commission Education and Training Monitor 2017, common problems in the field of all EU participating countries are: lack and insufficient teacher education, especially initial education and in-service training for integration of migrant students in classrooms; little engagement in Intercultural Education; increasing performance gap between foreign- born and native- born students; large proportion of the refugees are young and poorly qualified, which starts from initial school education; contradiction between intercultural ideas and the national and mono-cultural thinking as well as cultural prejudice present in societies and schools.
The above challenges are the ones being addressed by the DEVCULT through the design and development of a new methodology, Guidelines and a training course, as well as an e-learning component for teachers aiming to minimize the cultural gap in schools, foster better cooperation and intercultural dialogue and create stronger bonds among native and immigrant pupils in multicultural classrooms.
