Qualitative Info

Apart from some well-known cases, such as the 132 Elementary school of Athens where teachers are providing on their own initiative additional courses to migrant pupils and parents,[1] other good practices are performed on a temporary basis in schools throughout the country.

In the framework of the project "Action Plan vs racism at schools", funded by the Ministry of Education and coordinated by i-red, 125 different actions implemented in schools throughout the country have been documented. For more, see: Action Plan against racism & discrimination and pro diversity at Greek schools, Deliverable 1: Documentation of organised actions and material for the elimination of discriminations in Greek schools, i-red, 2011.

[1] More information is found on the school’s site created by pupils and teachers of the 132 elementary school of Athens: http://www.132grava.net
