At our school there are equal opportunities for students of different races, colours, religions and
with different educational needs. Escola Básica 2,3 da Lousã is an “Inclusive School”,
as since 1988 it has been working on a global project to integrate all the children with special needs. This year 75 students with special needs attend our school. There are also some foreign
students.

The Project “Pintar um Sorriso” (“To draw a Smile”) aims at helping foreign students and
pupils with learning difficulties. Foreign students attend sessions with teachers, so
that they improve their communicative skills in Portuguese.

They participate in several extra curricular activities together with
other students, in order to promote cultural diversity.
In the evening there are also some workshops addressed to
their parents.
There is a special course at our school, addressed to older students who are not motivated to attend the national curriculum lessons. It is a pre-professional
course on ironwork for 7th grade students.

At our school there is also a special program for students with autism spectrum disorders, based on the TEACCH model (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related
Communication-handicapped Children).
“Structured Teaching” methods are used by special education teachers, in order to enable these students to function as meaningfully and as independently as possible at school and in their community. This program is also supported by partnerships with local institutions.

United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Romania and Lithuania. This is a great opportunity for us to know more about
these countries and cultures, to cooperate with students from other European schools and to improve our ICT skills. We can learn
together, according to the motto of the European Union “United in Diversity”.
