The project has a dual aim. One of its goals is to improve the literacy skills – and, thus, the self-esteem and academic achievements – of those pupils are at the risk of falling behind their peers. The other goal of the project is to use this developmental opportunity to instill positive qualities in the pupils involved in the project. Thus, the Weaving Webs of Stories project attempts to promote a culture of positive and inclusive attitudes through developing and / or improving the pupils’ ever so necessary literacy competences.

 

The main target group:

Young people in primary schools (7 – 11 years old) and secondary schools (12 – 13 years old)

Young people whose literacy competences are deemed to be low for their respective year group

Those who are at risk of not attaining the levels needed to be successful in their studies

Those who are likely to fall behind without an intervention to support them
