The way around this very adeacuada and helps teachers to easily enter through the stories , knowledge of different cultures. This can be done because a boy or girl of any culture different from majority went to school in school or simply by strengthening between ALUMANDO the cooking of the diversity of cultures. This element is a shaft fundamanetal in preventing exclusion because you have to exclude the unknown and the known. To those who know usually love them, we often import one way or another . However, before the desconcidos not usually be as empathetic and more expensive to deploy them helping behaviors .
It is therefore very useful item for both the teacher must develop respect for diversity and for students who need to understand the diversity among people, but not the rights they have . The central idea is the understanding between different cultures and appreciation of this difference as wealth acquired for peaceful coexistence .
The material has a clear and orderly structure and allows it to be used as a whole or just one of the stories , in the interests pursued by the teacher . Very useful is also in addition to the stories, the material offers a series of recommendations for proper use, namely , to promote intercultural and social skills. That is, it is advised that in addition to reading the stories, to stimulate group discussion for the development of reflective thought , making students aware that we can always build our personality and in a special way at this stage of life is the childhood and adolescence.

• The content is broad : it consists of twenty stories more activities and recommendations for teachers to optimize their use in the classroom.
• Attractive : use appropriate images for recipients as well as the font size .
In terms of areas for improvement , we would recommend :

Therefore, their usefulness for School Safety Project is obvious as it aims to facilitate the integration of immigrant children in ordinary schools and among their peers trying to avoid exclusion . Any intervention aimed at the promotion and improvement of teaching practices in this line will , therefore, prevention of this problem.
