- The
CROCUS project aims at developing a system which facilitates the
social and school integration of migrant students, paying attention to
provide them, their families, teachers, schools administrative staff
with all the tools for a two-way communication in the language which
they master most.
- At
present, the
strategies adopted by schools, local authorities and associations, are
often extremely expensive, slow and scarcely flexible.
- The materials
already on the Internet and the multimedia tools are often uneven,
cannot be adapted to the individual curricula, etc. The mission of
CROCUS project is to standardise teaching modules which are
complementary, flexible, and appropriate to the school curricula and
to the school books, in a way functional to the European school
systems, by using operating tools which can meet the variety of needs
coming from the variety of users.
- Once
this system has been tested and tuned up, it could be transferred also
to other contexts to provide fast and flexible services responding to
the needs of communities which are often travelling and have
difficulties in gaining access to services, in speaking languages and
understanding the bureaucratic and administrative procedures.
