What is the ratinale,issues,needs to be adressed by the Project?

The title of our Comenius Project is the “DISABLED CHILDREN:ACCEPT,RESPECT, EMPHATY.” We hope our project will raise awareness amongst our pupils, staff and parents of  society where children with disabilities are not at a disadvantage, but participate fully in society in a dignified way at schools.   Social inclusion lies at the heart of our work
Social inclusion for people with a visual, hearing, physical or other handicaps means working to help them to gain equal rights in society. It also means helping society understand their needs and respect those rights. Social inclusion includes providing training and opportunities for people with disabilities, and making sure that education does not discriminate against or exclude children with disabilities. Beside these important aims, another important aim, to me  it is very crucial aim in European projects, is encouraging our pupils about learning language.

In what way is the Project innovative or the complementary for the sake of activities?

We have a number of concrete activities including charming points. For instance , with our ” FOCUS ON AWARENESS”  activity we’re going to start. This activity’s goal is about the  leaving the school at a very early age and generalizing the kindergarten amongst the disabled children. NO LIMITS activity will develop a concious of abolishing the differences between non-disabled children and disabled children. These are some samples of our Project.

Our facebook group is working hard.
