EQI hosts Symposium Supporting Inter-Cultural Community Evaluation and Planning
A major international symposium developed as part of the Erasmus + Project, Inter-Cultural Community Evaluation and Planning , was held in DCU last week. Bringing together researchers from Ireland, Spain, Austria, Norway and Turkey the symposium explored both the theoretical and practical implications of this highly innovative project.
The ICCEP project aimed to develop a community-based planning and evaluation system, referred to as ICCEP where schools and other stakeholders collaborate in networks for the improvement of migration background students, and a member of the network or an external body acts as a facilitator and mediator during the ICCEP process. The term ICCEP means involving all stakeholders in the process of evaluation and planning.
