The overall aim of our partnership is to foster equity and inclusion, enabling high quality learning for all pupils. Within this, we aim to develop strategies, within a 'Cultural' theme, to increase competences in digital technology and foreign language acquisition for all pupils.

We aim to:
-promote an inclusive school and education, where individual differences are experienced & taught
-support a democratic school, where equality is respect of diversity & diversity is considered as an added value
-reduce barriers to learning
- respond to pupils’ diverse learning needs
-ensure educators are committed to developing inclusive approaches
-promote multi-sensory teaching
-promote increased inclusion in future environments through appreciation & acceptance of individual differences
-bring together learners who are widely dispersed or who have learning difficulties & engage learners who in the past may have felt excluded

Inclusion also involves foreign language learning which is much more than being exposed to another language, but is about feeling accepted & involved in a worthwhile learning experience, regardless of the level achieved. It gives the learner the ability to step inside the mind & context of another culture. Without the ability to communicate and understand a culture on its own terms, true access to that culture isn't possible. Lack of inter-cultural sensitivity can lead to mistrust & misunderstandings; to an inability to cooperate, negotiate & compromise. Inter-cultural understanding begins with individuals who have language abilities and who can thereby provide one's own nation or community with an insider's view into foreign cultures; who can understand foreign news sources and give insights into other perspectives on international situations & current events. For survival in the global community, every nation needs such individuals. A person competent in other languages can bridge the gap between cultures, contribute to international diplomacy, promote national security and world peace, and successfully engage in international trade.
We aim to:
-raise the profile of foreign languages in all our schools in order to increase global/inter-cultural understanding & appreciation
-facilitate & develop communication skills by increasing language understanding & acquisition, spoken & written

In an extremely fast moving climate of ICT, the development of digital skills, for both staff & pupils is not only relevant but  essential. All of our project work will be presented digitally, through which we aim to:
-promote inclusive practices in schools  
-work together on challenging projects that have real aim and purpose.
