Montessori Palau Girona participates in the MonTech European project

The project is funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union, within the call “Social inclusion and common values: the contribution in the field of education and training”. Within this call, the EC received a total of 137 proposals from abroad and only 44 were selected to be funded and developed. The MonTech project was positioned among these 44 and the project has launched in 2021. The kick off meeting of the project took place, online, on the 16th and 17th of February of 2021 and the project will be developed along the next three years.

This project is coordinated by the research group “UdiGitalEdu: Creative Learning, STEAM and Social change” of the University of Girona. In the project, there are eight partners, including the Montessori Palau Research and Training Center, from six different countries: Spain, Ireland, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.

The overall objective of the project is to develop technological activities according to the principles of the Montessori pedagogy. The main target groups are children with refugee/migrant or minority background studying in elementary schools in Europe, and also the teachers who teach in the multicultural schools where these children attend.
