2 What is the INDIE Project!? INDIE stands for: Inclusion and Diversity in Education

3 Inclusion means involving everybody in everything No matter their: Race Age Gender Sexual Orientation etc… INCLUSION !?

4 DIVERSITY !? DIVERSITY means difference.

5 What does the Charter contain? The charter contains a total of nine points on inclusion and diversity which European schools will try to aspire to. We are now going to tell you about each point of the Charter. We will then discuss each point during our next PSE lesson.

6 1 In the school environment, both students and staff should learn to appreciate the differences between religion, cultures, sexual orientation, in the school community, even if one’s views clash with others’ beliefs.

7 2 Young people should have their voices and opinions heard when decisions are being made concerning them, for example by giving student councils an effective and powerful voice; student councils should have an advisory role in schools.

8 3 Within the school curriculum, students should be given opportunities to learn about cultural diversity.

9 4 Schools should offer the possibility for pupils to share their experiences and views with the community, promoting better communication and integration.

10 5 Schools should educate the whole person -to develop them academically, emotionally, physically and morally to achieve their full potential.

11 6 Schools should provide new ways of teaching and learning to help every young person learn well, for example by having courses taught by specialist practitioners in intercultural learning to enable the students to benefit from their expertise and passion.

12 7 School should give possibilities to a wider range of cultures and religions, including more diverse language learning.

13 8 Schools should provide mentors to help new students, foreign students, or students with special needs to integrate into the community. For example by having extra sessions to help learn the majority language and preserve their mother tongue, and by ensuring that the additional special needs of students are catered for through the school curriculum.

14 9 Provide staff training to ensure that teachers are able to deal with students’ problems and issues in a culturally sensitive way and provide an increased number of teachers from ethnic minority backgrounds.
