INSCHOOL: education project looks for consultants in five EU countries

- News

“Inclusive schools: making a difference for Roma children (INSCHOOL)” is a joint project by the European Commission and the Council of Europe. It aims at enhancing social inclusion of Roma by promoting inclusive education and training in 20 selected pilot schools in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom between October 2017 and January 2019. It will do so by setting up support mechanisms and resources for the pilot inclusive schools, by providing support to teachers to promote inclusion and improve learning outcomes of Roma children, by fostering stronger partnerships within each country and by raising awareness on the benefits of inclusive education for the general public as well as decision makers.

In each country, a team of trainers and educational advisors will be formed in order to ensure the implementation of the project at policy and practice levels.

A call for tenders was recently launched for consultancy services of trainers and educational advisors in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, the Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom, with a deadline for applications set to 1 October 2017.
