Strategy of the Inclusion of Migrant Children, Pupils and Students into the Education System in the Republic of Slovenia

Main measures are being carried out by National Educational institute, faculties and schools and are financed by national budget and European Social Fund.  
One example of good practice in this area is Education for Intercultural Dialogue and Active Citizenship project,  coordinated by the Slovenian Academy of Science and Art and Educational Research Institute – (800,000 €; from 2010 to 2011). 
Four aims were set forward: 

• To link the three levels: legislation, educational policy and school practice, and to overcome inadequate transmission of educational policies into school practice in the field of intercultural dialogue and active citizenship, 
• To transcend theoretical complexity and practical contradiction between the assurance of equality and unity and the acceptance, inclusion and respect of multiculturalism of the modern Slovenia and other EU members,
• Intercultural education, which helps students to evaluate their cultural identity,
• To present intercultural competencies and propose their inclusion in the preparation of curricula and educational programmes in Slovenia. 

The results of the project encompass: 

• 11 publications and other materials for teachers, students and public servants,
• Several conferences, seminars and workshops,
• Several analyses of present-day situation in the Slovenian regions, based on extensive field work,
• The final conference of the project (presentation of collected materials, examples of good practice, workshops for all levels of the education system,
• Establishment of information-communication network; two registers of relevant documents and examples of good practice; two lists of stakeholders in the field of the education of intercultural dialogue and active citizenship; two active forums (migracijski-forum[@]googlegroups.com; the second one available at: http://www.medkulturni-odnosi.si/).
