As part of this Erasmus+ K2 MaMLiSE Project, which is concerned with developing new educational approaches for migrant education an interdisciplinary UL team comprising of Dr Angela Farrell (ADI AHSS), Dr Mary Masterson (Lecturer, EHS), Michelle Daly (PhD Scholar/Intercultural Advocate), and Andrea La Touche (TESOL Teacher and EAL School Tutor) spent one week at the Intercultural School of Ioannina in north-western Greece at the beginning of October.
They worked with teachers, psychologists, and also pupils from a refugee background to undertake a needs analysis and develop teaching materials and resources for the school that can be rolled out for similar educational purposes in other European educational contexts to better address the social, cultural and education, psychological needs of children from a refugee background. This included the design and training of an educational platform (Moodle) and technological upskilling. This was in conjunction with academics and teachers from partner institutions in Poland, Greece and Germany on the MaMLiSE Project https://mamlise.home.amu.edu.pl/
The University of Limerick team will be hosting the European partners on the MaMLiSE Project in May 2022. The next stage of the project will involve training for post-primary teachers in Limerick in language-sensitive teaching with the needs of children from a migrant background in mind. This project aligns with UL’s commitment to achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 with relates to widening access to education particularly for disadvantaged groups in society.
