Project description
Shaping safer and more caring education
Education is the most powerful investment in our future. However, not all students excel at school. Many fail in or abandon their studies due to a lack of emotional safety at school caused by inequalities or lack of attachment and inclusion. These issues remain obstacles in today’s traditional educational models. In this context, the EU-funded LETS CARE project proposes a revolutionary approach to provide holistic, multilevel, intersectional research designed to improve care and security in European school environments. It will systematically explain all possible factors responsible for poor achievement and school dropouts on individual, relational, community and political levels. The research will engage 120 schools, 18 000 students and 2 400 teachers from six European countries. The project’s aim is to minimise social exclusion at schools.
Objective
Secure attachment relationships play an important protective role against the intergenerational transmission of social exclusion, not only at early stages, but at all school levels. LET´S CARE aims to comprehensively understand and improve the caring dimension of educational inclusion and school success. The project main objective is to identify determinants affecting student security as a root cause of underachievement, disengagement and school dropout, at 4 different ecological levels: individual, relational, community and political. LET´S CARE will create a theoretical and practical framework to foster Safe Learning, Safe Teaching, Safe Schools and Safe Education in each level as an approach to break the chain of transgenerational transmission of educational and social exclusion. This approach will generate lower rates of school failure, poor learning outcomes and early school leaving. The main proposal breakthrough is based on considering a relational response to educational exclusion and inequality, resulting in a model for understanding the importance of security to address underachievement and early drop out, and a relational approach to inclusive practices at school that will be translated into tools, recommendations and guidelines for action, from ECEC to secondary and Second Chance schools. A multilevel, multistage and intersectional research, exploring different European educational contexts, will be implemented, including120 schools, 18,000 students, and 2,400 teachers from 6 European countries in 4 schools stages, with special attention to multi-disadvantaged learners. LET´S CARE, supported by a expert consortium, will implement a holistic methodological approach, including cocreation mechanisms, and will translate research findings into political approach, through formulation of novel evidence-based policy recommendations, raising awareness on safe/caring schools, combating social exclusion of disadvantaged learners.
