Learning Compass is a regional project aimed at improving the situation of elementary children with special needs through the education of primary school teachers in more remote places of four Western Balkan countries (Albania, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, Bosnia and Hercegovina).
The project that was implemented in two years and took place in four countries was formed to reach the following goals:
- Contribute to improving the situation of children with special needs in primary education;
- Contribute to the development of the school systems of the countries involved;
- Strengthen links and cooperation between teaching staff and educational institutions (involved in the project) of the Western Balkan countries and contributed to the peaceful coexistence in the region.
The project implemented all the envisaged activities and involved the members of the current Learning compass community in the following events:
- Implemented 3 day training for experts from Albania and Kosovo (organised in September 2019 in Drač, Albania)
