“DREAMS: Fostering Diversity in Primary to Secondary School Transition to Prevent ESL” is a 24 month strategic partnership. Transition from primary to secondary education has been identified by the European Commission Thematic Working Group on Early School Leaving as a key moment for ESL prevention. All partner schools indicate that prior to transition ESL risk factors are already identifiable, and that a diversity based approach needs to be taken in order to assure proper attention to the needs of all students, particularly those that are more vulnerable to ESL, during this delicate phase in their education and development.
