Project Overview
Up-Res is an Erasmus+ funded project that focuses on promoting academic achievement and the inclusion of immigrant students through the development of resilience-building strategies. The project aims to equip educators with the tools and methods needed to measure and improve the resilience of students, particularly those from migrant and refugee backgrounds. By creating resilience-building exercises, an online training platform, and a comprehensive teacher’s guide, the project seeks to empower educators to establish a stronger emotional and psychological foundation for their students. The overall goal is to bridge the gap between educational success and resilience, enabling students to better cope with challenges and thrive academically in inclusive learning environments.
Project Objectives
- Develop Resilience Measurement: Create an evidence-based methodology to assess the resilience of immigrant students.
- Support Educators: Provide teachers with resources and strategies to build student resilience.
- Create Resilience Exercises: Design practical exercises to enhance students’ emotional regulation and coping skills.
- Develop an Online Platform: Build a platform with exercises, AI-supported videos, interactive tasks, and certification.
- Raise Awareness: Increase awareness of the project’s goals among key stakeholders, including policymakers and educators.
