Both schools (LVR-Schule am Königsforst and Spojená škola) are schools for children with special needs. They are visited by pupils with physical disabilities, pupils with considerable malfunctions of the supporting and movement system, damages of brain, spinal cord, musculature or skeleton, malfunctioning of organs or serious psychic charges as a result of different appearance. In addition, pupils of the autistic spectrum and a wide range of learning needs attend our schools. The partnership between the German and Slovakian schools already exists for 5 years. After ending of the 2-year-old Comenius project for the production of a multilingual dictionary into Slovak, German and English language and with symbols of the supported communication for non-speaking people resulted the wish to continue this partnership in a new project. At each school 12 pupils of the classes 6-9 at the age of 12-17 will take part in the project. As a new subject we chose the subject "Hansel and Gretel - an inclusive cultural project". The fairy tale is known in both countries. The work with the fairy tale, the exchange of ideas and experiences with the conversion and getting to know professional theatrical work in both partner countries offers the possibility to extend the cultural consciousness and to improve the cultural capability of expression to our pupils. The common work arises a consciousness for the possibilities of cooperation in Europe. (ET 2020) By the theatrical work within the scope of workshops the pupils extend their competence concerning to their verbal and non-verbal expression possibilities. The project allows an intensive linguistic training to the involved pupils by linguistic courses in Slovak and German and extends therefore their foreign-language competence. The concept of a pupils-oriented project promotes the pupils‘ motivation and the identification with the duties.Due to the responsibility within the scope of a team, key qualifications are promoted like the ability in teamwork, communicative competence, criticism ability, punctuality and reliability. By the regular documentation of the project work the pupils extend their competence in the field of media and project management. In the study group"theatrical AG", taking place weekly, the pupils work on the project, on the preparation and evaluation of the short-term exchanges, the documentation of the project in word, picture and film, on the production of a practise manual, the creation and actualisation of the project info wall and the preparation and realisation of school meetings in which the school community is informed about and integrated in the project. In the virtual classroom the partner schools exchange themselves regularly about their results of working. 3 short-term exchanges with the contents: to get known of the partners and their schools, discussion of the fairy tale and it’s conversion, theatrical training and make-up under professional instructions, planning and coordination of the working steps, arrangements to costume and scenery, common rehearsals, common visit of different theatrical performances and theatrical workshops in the partner countries, the final performance in Germany,are planned. Responsibility for team work, expression training and the applause as an appreciation for a performance grow pride in own achievement and self-confidence. Documentations of the common work (practise manual), performances and presentations in the region of both partner schools should be offered beyond the school communities to the schools and the citizens of the region and lead to an improved perception and integration of the schools in terms of the idea of inclusion.
