The Project Golden5

The proposed project GOLDEN5 aims to produce, over three years, an educational program and a modular course for educational staff to create a more congenial and effective school environment. This project is founded on the belief that schools have important responsibilities for the education of future citizens, with healthy attitudes towards themselves, others and society, and that children at risk of social exclusion do need special attention. Teachers themselves need to be competent in managing strategies and in improving the social development of the children and the class as a group.

The Team

The team involved in this project has wide experience in projects related to behaviour problems and children at risk of social exclusion, and consequently they also have experience in the development of educational resources and modular teacher training courses. Our aim is to organize and integrate our educational background in a systematic approach that would be called the GOLDEN program.

The Program

The program and the strategy would be piloted, tested, and implemented as a course for in-service training (Results). A website and a Network will be created; a course and program will be made available, extended for initial teacher training, and presented as a European Course (Comenius 2.2). In the following pages the final PROGRAMME is presented, and it is implementing in Norway, Spain, Poland, Palestine, and other countries around, with high degree of success
