School-community Partnership for Reversing Inequality and Exclusion: Transformative Practices of Segregated Schools

Project description

Promoting inclusion in segregated schools

Some European States, particularly the Central and Eastern European post-socialist countries, are struggling with rising inequalities as well as nationalist and neo-conservative tendencies. The EU-funded Inclusion4Schools project will investigate the imaginary, symbolic and real ‘walls of exclusion’ that have been built to segregate children based on class, ethnicity and gender. The project will engage with various forms of public pedagogy to promote inclusive educational relations, facilitate dialogue and transform structures of inequality. More concretely, the project will support and coordinate school-community partnerships and establish a culture of dialogue and sharing within and in-between these partnerships.

Objective

The emerging European context is to a large extent characterized by widening and deepening inequalities, the crisis of democracy, and the disintegration of communities. It is especially the case in the Central-Eastern European semiperipheral, post-socialist context, where there is a growing tendency of rearticulating authoritarian, nationalist, neoconservative discourses. This „retrotopia” is conducive to the hegemonic production of an imaginary social homogeneity, which consequently stirs up reactionary xenophobia, fear, and hatred through the construction of external intruders (e.g. the migrant) and enemies within (e.g. the Roma). Since the leitmotif of this programme is primarily educational, the proposed action targets such (imaginary, symbolic, and real) walls of exclusion which are intended to segregate children (based on class, ethnicity, gender, etc.), which are meant to divide and alienate the local communities to which those children nonetheless belong, thus actively (re)producing inequalities. In contrast to the power-relations of exclusion, the culture of silence, and the reproduction of unjust structures, the project aims to foster and promote pedagogical relations of inclusion, a culture of dialogue, and the transformation of unjust structures through education. Running in parallel to the research and innovation actions the central objectives of the proposed action are (1) to support and coordinate community schools (as being central to the constitution and maintenance of cohesive local communities) and their respective communities of practice, and (2) to create a place and culture of sharing (knowledge, praxis, solidarity) between such communities by initiating and coordinating the convergence and synergies of local, regional and transnational communities. The expected impact of the proposed project is to contribute to the European initiatives and interventions that aim at reversing inequalities.
