Launch of the SPECTRUM Project in Prague

At the end of January, the kick-off face-to-face meeting of the international consortium of the new Erasmus+ project, SPECTRUM - Supporting Elementary School Teachers in Recognizing and Understanding Minors with Special Educational Needs, took place in Prague. During the two-day meeting, all participants were briefed on the project objectives, project packages, timeline, financial aspects and dissemination strategies. The informal part of the meeting consisted of a tour of the historical centre of Prague as well as a tasting of traditional Czech cuisine. The aim of this project is to create an inclusive learning environment across different sectors to promote equitable learning experiences from early childhood to higher education. The intention is to support teachers who are not trained in special pedagogy, yet work with children with disabilities on a daily basis without the much-needed systemic support. Partners from the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Spain will be working on this issue for the next 2 years and we will keep you informed about the results of our work.
