Project of psychosocial support and promotion of resilience in school communities after natural disasters (the case of fire) (2018-2019).

Participants: 8 Kindergartens & 8 Elementary Schools of Eastern Attica

For almost a decade CRSPS has organized a number of building awareness seminars and workshops regarding crisis management in the school community. Additionally, a crisis preparedness and intervention model has been proposed that incorporates key SEL components and resilience factors, and leads to the development of action plans for responding and providing support in a crisis situation (Hatzichristou, Issari, Lampropoulou, Lykitsakou & Dimitropoulou, 2011; Hatzichristou et al, 2012). Over the years this model has been implemented in a number of crises on a local and national scale (e.g. wildfires in Peloponnese, H1N1-flu crisis).

 Education of “Roma” Children

 During the school years 2011-2015, CRSPS in collaboration with the  Center for Intercultural Education of the University of Athens      implemented an EU-funded project under the title ‘Education of Roma  Children’. The Roma are the largest ethnic minority in the EU with  more than 10 million members, mostly concentrated in the Balkan  countries. Among all the European populations, they are considered at  greatest risk of being poor, uneducated and unemployed. Roma  children often accumulate a number of social and individual  handicaps, while their inclusion in the education system is considered  a challenge (UNESCO, 2010).
