About the Project

Studies show that psycho-educational programmes that articulate activities of sensory and cognitive-emotional stimulation are fundamental to children’s educational success and their adaption to school. Those studies also highlight the essential role of specialized teachers training in these kinds of programmes. Research shows the correlation between weak development of certain sensory, cognitive, social and emotional skills, with learning difficulties and ultimately, school failure. 


Therefore, the (IN)school project wants to improve education success and fully social inclusion by focusing on the development of sensory, cognitive, social and emotional skills of young children in the age between 5-7, specifically the so-called executive functions: working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. These skills are known to be essential for learning how to read, write and calculate, and they are very important in the daily life of a child.
