Background
The implementation of the EU’s fundamental pillar of free movement encourages the interaction and integration of different communities. For children and young people, educational settings is the first place where they are exposed to cross-cultural encounters, having an opportunity to form positive associations and identities. These settings can also create environments that allows for potentially negative feelings to take shape. This problem is exacerbated as educators are often pressured to prioritise core subjects that do not tackle the underlying causes of fear, division and misunderstanding that lead to discriminatory behaviour.
Objectives
Create a training programme based on restorative justice music that will capacity build teacher’s and educational professionals’ ability to promote equality and social cohesion among their students.
Connect teachers and educational institutions with parents and community-based professionals such as social workers through networking and dissemination events.
Reduce disparities among students in terms of accessing and engaging with formal and informal education.
Benefit disadvantaged students and those at risk of leaving school early.
