Successful International Training Strengthens Educational Practices in Europe
From October 17th to 19th, 2023, educators from across Europe gathered in Palermo, Italy, to participate in the international training program organized under the INCLUDEART project. Hosted by Prism, this event brought together teachers from various partner countries. Cyprus, was represented by dedicated teachers who are are passionate about enhancing their digital skills and creating a more inclusive school environment. One of the participants, Stelios Ktoras, teacher, school counsellor, and radio producer, shared with us for their experience: ‘The training provided invaluable insights into integrating artistic methodologies to foster inclusive classroom environments’
The training focused on evaluating and defining the learning outcomes of the modules in collaboration with the participating teachers. It provided a platform for educators to enhance their technical skills relevant to their professional roles and develop essential soft skills crucial for creating inclusive classroom environments.
‘This training marks a significant step forward in our efforts to empower educators with the tools and knowledge needed to engage students effectively and foster social inclusion through artistic methodologies,’ said Elia, project manager at RESET.
Participants engaged in hands-on testing of educational methods designed to enhance student participation, creativity, and well-being. Insights gathered from the pilot tests during the training will play a pivotal role in refining and finalizing the learning modules, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of students across Europe.
The INCLUDEART project, cofounded by Erasmus+, underscores its commitment to supporting educators and addressing the educational challenges exacerbated by the pandemic. By equipping teachers with new skills and methodologies, the project aims to cultivate a more inclusive educational environment that benefits all students, particularly those at risk of exclusion.
