Okres sprawozdawczy: 2023-05-01 do 2024-12-31
the NEW ABC project adopts an inclusive and participatory approach that actively engages teachers, children, educators, families and policy makers in co-creating effective practices. Rooted in participatory action research, the project is guided by care, compassion and a bottom-up perspective key elements in addressing the systemic barriers migrant children face. By fostering collaboration between stakeholders who rarely interact, such as children and policy makers, NEW ABC aims to create meaningful and sustainable change.Through participatory and co-designed practices, the project empowers migrant children and ensures that their voices and experiences shape the future of education. This broad aim is broken down into three main objectives, which the NEW ABC project successfully achieved, while also establishing a sustainability process.First the project aims to develop co-participatory research with stakeholders to accurately understand and identify children's real needs. Based on these insights, nine pilot actions were co-designed with teachers and pupils and then tested in educational institutions.Secondly the project aims to empower migrant children and young people by raising awareness of their role in the educational environment and highlighting the value of their voices in shaping inclusive practices. Thirdly, the project aims to promote integrated approaches at local and (inter)national level by making best practices and innovative actions accessible to all educational institutions interested in promoting the inclusion of migrant children. The impact of the participatory action research (PAR) approach has extended beyond the official timeframe of the project. Many of the activities initiated by NEW ABC have continued to be implemented autonomously by stakeholders, demonstrating both the effectiveness and sustainability of the methodology
