Handbook topics

We strongly believe that by improving the social skills of our pupils and school staff we will be able to tackle early school leaving and disadvantage. We also can tackle these problems by developing our school environments to more caring and safer places to learn. In all partner schools we have our own ways to help our pupils, but together we are more: By exchanging the best practices for helping our pupils we can increase the quality of our schools and we can do much more for our pupils and for their future.

The pupils and school staff will work on the project utilizing eTwinning, Erasmus+ Project Results Platform and social media (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook). There will be project workshops inside the partner schoolsdealing with the project topics.

We will produce and publish an online handbook for schools: "Everybody matters. What you do makes a difference. A handbook on how to be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody" . This way we offer other schools many effective tools and good ideas how to tackle early school leaving and disadvantage.
