02 Framework Objectives
Objectives of the AMOR Framework for Inclusive, Intercultural Activities:
Fostering a sense of belonging and active social participation among young People
with Disabilities (PwD) and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The
framework aims to design inclusive intercultural activities that create environments
promoting social inclusion.
Developing effective communication skills, including verbal and non-verbal, within
diverse cultural contexts. Explanation: The framework recognizes the importance of
communication in fostering understanding and empathy. It provides educators with
tools to enhance the communication skills of young PwD, SEN, and others, facilitating
meaningful interactions and connections.
Cultivating an appreciation for cultural diversity and the ability to understand
different perspectives. In response to the gap in digital education highlighted by
COVID-19, the framework will encourage hands-on experiences through intercultural
activities, promoting a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives.
Integrating Assistive Technology (AT) and accessibility features to ensure the inclusion
of young individuals with disabilities. Recognizing the unique needs of young PwD and
SEN, the framework will emphasize the use of AT and accessibility features in
intercultural activities.
Empowering and activating young people, particularly those with disabilities and SEN,
for personal and professional development. The framework aims to provide
educators with practical tools to empower young individuals.
Addressing mental wellbeing through inclusive intercultural activities. Considering the
challenges posed by crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, the framework recognizes
the importance of mental wellbeing. It aims to create activities that not only promote
social skills but also contribute positively to the mental health of young individuals.
The AMOR Framework, with its specific objectives, aligns with the broader goals of the
AMOR project by actively contributing to the creation of innovative pedagogic solutions.
The learning outcomes and strategies outlined in the framework directly empower
educators to work with young PwD, SEN, and others, fostering their social participation,
personal development, and mental wellbeing. Through practical tools and materials, the
AMOR Framework becomes an important element in achieving the project's objectives
and ensuring inclusive, ready-to-use resources for educators in inclusive educational
settings.
