PROJECT NEWSLETTER 2 / 2021
Status of the project
The project was started in January 2021. During its first months partners have
developed a theoretical model which describes the main factors as to how school
and parents influence school careers. Research points out the important role of
aspects like: understanding of parental responsibilities, creation of an effective
learning climate at home, dealing with own experiences of going to school, dealing
with cultural differences in general for people with different cultural back ground,
positive attention to children, inclusive school climate, the teacher child relationship
etc.

See Me: “Inspirational ideas and approaches regarding parental
involvement in secondary education”
See ME is a 2-years Erasmus+ project which focusses on strengthening
parental involvement in children’s school careers in secondary education
specifically for youngsters at risk. To achieve this the project collects best
practices and will develop and test guidelines for parent involvement as well
as guidelines for teachers regarding the school career of students and their
role toward parents.

2. These kind of aspects (actually barriers) easily influence school careers in a negative way. The project is now in its
second step of activities: collecting best practices which deal with these barriers thus facilitating instead of hindering a
child’s school career. Some first results are presented in this newsletter. The next newsletter will present more.
Best practice: Turkey
To assure for the access to education and enhance social cohesion of Syrian children under temporary protection Turkey
has launched the PIKTES-project. PIKTES is operating in 26 provinces. Apart from language training and educational
objectives a lot of time is spend on awareness raising of Syrian parents regarding the need for education by focussing on
early childhood but also on aspects like transportation. For more information: https://piktes.gov.tr/Home/IndexENG
Best practice: Netherlands
Cobbenhagen Mavo is school in the North of Tilburg. It is one of the few schools in the area which can carry the name of
being a truly coloured school: 95% of its population has a non-allochthone back ground. Main barriers which impact
school career are related to parents misunderstanding of norm and values, and of expectations and responsibilities
regarding school. To lower these barrier the school has engaged a link officer: a staff member who organises easy to
access activities in the midst of the area where the parents live. In this way she is able to establish trust, understanding
and personal contact. These relationships are very valuable not only for knowledge transfer (gaining a better
understanding of what the school expects from the parents and what parents can do to support the school career of their
children). Also, in case of need the link officer is able to open doors and arrange for involvement of essential support
services, which in the past was hardly possible.
Best practice: Italy
“Sprint la scuola con una marcia in più” (Sprint – the school with an extra gear), run by a National Network of
associations, social cooperatives, institutions.
The purpose of the Project is to foster the creation of educational communities focused on the school as unifying subject
where minors may find integrated educational opportunities. The activities imply different kinds of laboratories, training
courses and webinars addressed to families and teachers in order to combat the educational poverty and involve families
in the learning processes. For more information: www.progrettosprint.it
Next activities in the project
