Channel: European School Education Platform
Date: 2022-05-12

This webinar is part of the 2022 webinar series organised by the European Toolkit for Schools: https://www.schooleducationgateway.eu

Cosmin Nada, expert on diversity in education and researcher at the Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (University of Porto), will approach the distinction between intercultural and monocultural teachers, highlighting the importance of adapting pedagogical practices to the needs of diverse pupils. Whilst acknowledging that all pupils are different in their own way, particularly vulnerable groups like refugee children require extra attention. 

Sara Amadasi, research fellow in the Department of Studies on Language and Culture,  UNIMORE, and representative of the CHILD-UP project, will show how dialogic facilitation can be a tool to promote migrant children’s participation in the classroom and to enhance conditions of hybrid integration, which concerns all children. 

Mateja Sedmak and Barbara Gornik, from the Science and Research Centre of Koper and representatives of the Micreate project, will present the project’s main findings and recommendations, together with a series of practical and concrete tools that teachers can use in the process of welcoming refugee children and teaching in diverse classrooms.
