The organization Hallgarten-Franchetti Centro Studi Villa Montesca” Foundation (FCSVM) in Italy, in cooperation with Institute for Educational and Youth Studies (EGECED) in Turkey, San Jorge University Foundation (FUSJ) in Spain, Center for Educational Initiatives (CEI) in Bulgaria, K.S.D.E.O. EDRA in Greece, National University of Ireland Galway (NUI), University of Nicosia (UNIC) - Education Excellence Corporation Limited (EDEX) in Cyprus and Stichting Reflexion in the Netherlands are implementing the project titled “LIFE TWO: Learning Interculturality from Religions towards Outreach Activities” – funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union, Key Action 3: Support for policy reform – Sub-action: Social Inclusion and Common Values: The Contribution in the Field of Education and Training. LIFE-TWO has a duration of 24 months and lasts from the 1st of December 2019 to the 30th of November 2021.
The purpose of the project is to foster a participatory pedagogical methodology based on the Inquiry Educative Strategy designed to develop transversal skills, related to multiculturalism, interfaith and integration (LIFE Model). The Model, addressed to primary education during LIFE project, has already proved to be successfully when tested in 5 European countries (Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Spain), as part of the religious education courses. The main challenge of LIFE TWO is to create a new framework with a new and specific aim of combating misinformation and false news spreading and developing new tools for an efficient application of the Pedagogical Didactic and Participatory Model (PD&P).
LIFE TWO intends to test the method in secondary schools and propose a strategy for a counter-narration, putting in action educative measures addressed to launch a critical thinking process for leading the students to see the interfaith societal context as a profound resource for their personal growth.
