CSIE continues to be involved in the IMAS II project (IMproving ASsistance in inclusive educational settings II). Last week project partners met in Varna, Bulgaria, on 21 and 22 October to discuss progress on the development of the five online Knowledge Boxes. This was followed by a training activity on 23-25 October, during which learning support assistants from all countries represented in this project (Austria, Bulgaria, Portugal, Slovakia and the UK) came together to hear about ongoing work on the Knowledge Boxes being created by project partners, and offer feedback which contributes to their further development. Ongoing work presented on this occasion involved the Knowledge Box on Physical & Sensory Impairments, and the Knowledge Box on Cognition & Learning.
The IMAS II project is a two-year project funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (2018-1-AT01-KA202-039302). The project was launched in October 2018 at the University of Graz, Austria, he of the lead partner. It seeks to support and strengthen the development of learning support assistants’ competencies for inclusive practice, in ways which are consistent with the requirements of Article 24 (Education) of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. CSIE is one of nine project partners from six European countries. For more information please see the project newsletter.
