School of Tomorrow (A jövő iskolája)

School of Tomorrow (SOT) is an Erasmus+ project that aims to share ideas, practise and tools to create a more inclusive school and to prevent dropouts. A school where all kind of students, regardless of background, physical and/or psychological difficulties, social groups or similar, will be able to reach their educational goals. To achieve this we need to equip our learners with skills and competences such as creative thinking, inquiry based learning, critical thinking and independent learning.
Within the SOT project teacher and facilitator in the field of education have come together to create a toolbox of various approaches aimed at making learning more efficient and effective in today’s globalized environment. Read more

Toolbox
For an Inclusive School

Collection of methods and best practices for teachers and educators

This Toolbox contains the methods as best practices were introduced and shared among the partners in a way of “learning by doing” in the frame of the international trainings during the project period. All methods were tested by the partner organisations in the countries of origin (Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Sweden, United Kingdom) with the help of pupils, students, teachers, educators and NGO experts.
