Within the framework of the European project
[email protected], the working group coordinated by INFOREF (made up of several actors of education in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles: teachers, educators, school mediators, headmasters, youth aid services, psychologists, services of the Ministry of Education …), has developed a product for teachers in order to help them identify and prevent behaviours and situations that can lead to early school leaving.
The “Cube” is an educational tool to prompt reflexion, foster discussions and the search for solutions on the topic of early school leaving. Each of the six sides is dedicated to a factor of early school leaving and displays a testimony of a student (or an image) along with a QR code linked to a specific video. The video proposes a reply to the evoked situation: a positive message to identify oneself and search a solution.
The tool comes with guidelines. This document details the objectives of the cube and gives ideas for use.
The tool is addressed to teachers but can also be used by other members of the educational team (educators, psychologists, mediators…). It could also be used by anyone concerned by education (parents, future teachers, youth associations…).
The tool was imagined for secondary school students, but the working group made it so it can be adapted, for instance for primary school pupils.
