The aim of the project

The aim is to develop teaching materials for teacher education, including the education of children with special educational needs, that meet the new challenges of inclusive co-education and provide practical support for teachers working with children with atypical development and their parents.

During the 3 years of the project, the consortium's experts will develop two curricula for teacher training in international cooperation. One will be on professional skills development and the other on individual pedagogical/special needs education counselling. Both curricula will be accompanied by a student workbook, a teacher's guide, learning support videos, and online applications. Practical testing of the curricula will be carried out in all three countries. The first step is an international student training course, followed by university courses in the partner countries.

The project will have its own website, where the learning materials developed will be posted in five languages (English, Hungarian, Slovak, Greek, and Romanian).

An important element of the project will be regular online and face-to-face workshops and collaboration between professionals.
