INTRODUCTION:

Our project is titled “We are European, We are Equal.” The project is focused on educating pupils on the importance of equality issues to fight social exclusion and early school learning. The three partner schools from Spain, Greece, and Italy are located in disadvantaged areas of small cities affected by the lack of opportunities for young people. Our main aim, therefore, has been collaboration between teachers and pupils to research the “heptagon of equality” - 7 themes chosen by pupils as main causes of social exclusion: elderly, disability, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and immigration. This project has developed into a KA229 Erasmus+ Project in which pupils have investigated each theme in each partner country by completing activities before, during and after each pupil mobility trip. The preparatory activities have included videoconferences and collaborative Twinboards. The project has also included the participation of local stakeholders and the development of other active methodologies using a range of digital apps. The main outputs of the project include pupil ePortfolios, oral archives, videos, booklets, and lesson plans for teachers.
