2. Go Far
Comenius Regio of the Emilia Romagna, Italy
and Kreis Pinneberg, Germany, Schleswig-Holstein
One beautiful place in our
partner region

3. Working in a European context
• The regional school administration of Kreis
Pinneberg has never worked in European projects
before.
• There have been problems to be solved within the
region and whole Schleswig-Holstein:
− Schools felt short of human resources
− A lack of progress after the so-called PISA-shock
− Results of large scale assessments and nation-wide
school tests were not satisfying
− The process of integration within our society had
made little progress since the late 80ies, but the
political awareness about an inclusive society and
school system had become stronger

4. The history of the project from the German
point of view
• Initialized through the Ufficio Scholastico della Emilia Romagna
and just one of the three officials in the regional school
administration
• In 2009 a preparation meeting was organized in Parma which was
followed by writing a common application for a Regio project
• Different conditions of the two partners
• In Italy many interested partner organisations, in Germany just the
school administration, the office of social care and youth and one
school ready for undersigning the contract
• The official Mr.Struve leaving the administration for doing another
job in the ministry of educaton
• In spite of these bad conditions the decision for the project was
made „in the last minute“ in June 2010
• With a new crew in our regional school administration we started
the project in August 2010

5. A project of little, but very important steps
for our region – what it‘s all about
 On our way to an inclusive school
 To welcome children with an immigration background
 To include children with special needs in our schools‘s
communities and find ways of individualized help and
support
 Promoting mathematical and science-orientated
instruction
 To know more about school concepts in our partner
region

6. Milestones-
How mobilities and face-to-face encounters
motivate teachers and staff
• Curiosity for the difference in the two school systems
• Curiosity for the people who like to work in a
European project
• Curiosity for the partner region and its culture
• What should we show?
• Who of our staff in schools and organisations will be
able to add something worthwhile?
• Under which conditions will the first encounter be
passed off? Enough local partners and projects to
show?
• How could all the chores be achieved? Time-
management…

7. To motivate oneself
• 7 different institutions of the Italian partner region sent
out 10 guests to Kreis Pinneberg in February 2011
• Tasks:
− What kind of projects will be presented to our guests?
− Which schools would like to show their work?
− How can the public be involved? The Landrat, first
official of the whole region, district chief executive,
took his time to organize a welcome lunch
− Talks with the regional authority
− Pinneberg, so close toHamburg - how to show its
appeal as a metropolitan area and profit by some
cultural event

8. Key activities of the first meeting
• How to organize the work in a center for children without
knowledge of German as language of school instruction?
• How can a primary school contribute to the task of
integration with a whole day program?
• How to get students back to work who neglected school
attendance or don‘t visit schools anymore?
• How is networking between the office of youth and social
care and private partners, like „Wendepunkt- an association
against violence and sexual child abuse“?
• The work of a secondary school for the project „No child
left behind“ and how to prepare the high risk group of
school kids for getting a job after school
• The project SINUS in the Kreis Pinneberg region
• The work in a very small school under rural circumstances,
success in maths by working with activating methods in a
mixed class of 3rd and 4th graders

9. Return visit from Schulamt Pinneberg – Mai
2011

10. Learning from the partner region
• Impressive people • Interesting schools‘
• Other political decisions concepts
and social conventions • Discussions about
practise and all-day-
solutions of common
problems

11. Main task: „Inclusion“
 Italy looks back to 30 years of
inclusion
 A doyen or dinosaur of a
politically motivated and
influenced pedagogy of inclusion
of the red Bologna talks about his
ideals and experiences and the
actual developments in Italy-
 The interesting and inspiring
meating with Dott. Raffaele Iosa
of MIUR in Emilia Romagna,
who worked as a school inspector
and former representative of the
ministry of education in Rome
 Controversial discussions in our
own team afterwards
