MULTI-ESKOLA

Objectives

MULTIESKOLA project is designed to respond to the challenges of multilingualism in educational centres focusing on:

• The need of all the students to develop language competences both in mother tongue and in other language to facilitate their social and labor inclusion.

• The development of trilingual educational models and excellence models that clearly respond to the current social and labour market demands.

• The respect for the minority languages, official and non-official, that coexists in many European regions in educational (formal and informal) environments.

Thus, the project main goal was to respond to the new challenges of European schools and i-VET centres by providing resources for the development of an inclusive education and training, from the perspective of multilingualism.

Target group

The MULTIESKOLA project has clearly targeted the target group of teachers, as well as school directors and I-VET centers. Its development has focused on the design of a Toolkit of educational resources for teachers, within the framework of the priority "Strengthening the profile of the teaching professions". This result allows to improve the professional skills of teachers of secondary schools and initial vocational training, promote continuous and peer learning through the creation of a learning environment that allows the interaction between teachers, experts, the educational community in general and representatives of parents, among others.

Results

The main activities carried out included, first of all, a research phase, with interviews with managers, directors and teachers at different centers, which allowed for collecting ideas and data in each participating country and which was a key information base for the approach of the contents of the Toolkit.

The Toolkit of Educational Resources for Teachers was designed and developed, serving as a tool that included four thematic working areas and offered training content, practical aids and resources useful in the day to day work of a teacher. The toolkit can be found at the elearning portal of the project coordinator, here.
