Joint action with other schools

The school decides to take action and organizes (plans and implements) in cooperation with another school (other schools) in the area, a joint action aimed at the inclusion of refugee students.

Steps

  1. The organizers contact one or several schools in the area, either directly or through the local coordination offices, sharing the intention of organizing a joint training and checking for interest. If the other schools agree, the organizing school appoints a team to coordinate the organization of the training or, alternatively, sets up an organization team with representatives from all schools involved.
  2. An action outside the school. An excursion to a local museum. An excursion to a place of interest in local history. An excursion to a museum/site of local refugee/immigrant memory/history. An in-school activity: A joint experiential workshop by an institution. Other activities that each school carries out and shares the results. Suggested activities: Inclusion I and Inclusion II
  3. The organizing team selects the action(s) and informs the teachers involved. If some preparation is needed by each school, the organizing team makes sure that a timetable is drawn up and communicated to the schools. The date(s) of the joint action are set and agreed upon.
  4. The action is carried out. The organizing team has taken care of transport (if necessary), and collection of photo/video material (if appropriate permissions are available).
  5. The teachers involved and the organizing team have decided on and put in place reflection/feedback from the students who take part in the action, through discussion, writing or an activity after the action is completed (immediately after or as soon as possible).

Evaluation

Teacher feedback (written or oral) from each school in relation to the action. Dissemination of the reflections of the students and teachers to all schools involved.

Duration: 4 months (preparation & training approx. 4-30 hours)
