About the project

According to international assessments such as the latest OECD PISA survey, the underachievement rate in Europe, students that fail in completing basic mathematics, science, and reading tasks was 22.5% in reading, 22.9% in mathematics, and 22,3% in science. The students from disadvantaged backgrounds are overrepresented among the underachievers. Education is failing to reduce inequalities associated with socio-economic status. But scientific research with social impact in education shows the possibility of reversing this trend. There are educational actions, with a solid scientific basis, that have been shown to improve achievement and basic skills in many different contexts for all learners, especially for disadvantaged learners. Dialogic Gatherings, a Successful Educational Action identified by INCLUD-ED research (FP6, 2006–2011) has proven excellent results when applied in Science, Maths, Literature, Art and Music subjects.

Objectives

The objectives of the Dive-In-Dialogue project are:

To involve disadvantaged European students in Dialogic Gatherings, improving their key competences and fostering their inclusion in school and in society.

To train and empower teachers to use and disseminate this evidence-based practise, working transnationally and reaching disadvantaged students, their families and communities.

To create a transnational network with didactic resources and a platform to enable the scaleup, sustainability, and political impact of the practise.

Implementation

The project will achieve these objectives through:

#1

The implementation and massive dissemination of the Dialogic Gatherings in Science, Maths, Literature, Art, and Music, with disadvantaged students.

#2

The development of transnational Dialogic Gatherings where students from all over Europe read, watch, listen and discuss together the best works of science, knowledge, and culture that humanity has created.

#3

The formation of a team of trainers who will base their practice on scientific evidence and who will be willing to share their knowledge and experience with other national and international schools.

#4

The holding of national and international events where this practise can be shared, and where national and international entities and politicians can be engaged for its expansion.
