Móðurmál – the Association on Bilingualism is an expert consultant organization in the “E-Power” project 2021-2023, a collaboration of the Czech Republic, Norway and Iceland.
This Iceland Liechtenstein Norway Grants project is focused on solving problems with the inclusion of disadvantaged children and youth in primary and secondary schools in North Moravia region in the Czech Republic. Cooperation is an important pillar of the project – many European countries, like the Czech Republic, face similar problems in integrating disadvantaged groups into society, and the transfer and sharing of best practices and examples of good practice can help address them. The aim of this call is to develop, support and strengthen the competencies of primary and secondary school teachers in the inclusive education of children and youth not only in the field of business and social innovation.
For this reason, the CpKP North Moravia has established cooperation with the non-profit organizations Lyk-z & daughters from Norway and Einurd from Iceland, which have experience with inclusive education and training in business and social innovation in these countries.
The expert consultants of the project are representatives of an Icelandic organization Móðurmál – the Association on Bilingualism and Pedagogical-Psychologist Counseling Center in Šumperk.
About the project:
