Our objectives included helping pupils become more accepting and tolerant of different cultures, as well as improving their teamwork, management, communication and language skills (Web 2.0 tools). All participating schools aimed to provide a safe and peaceful environment for immigrants and to help children better understand their place in society. The brochure helped disadvantaged pupils to reintegrate into society through our project, integration activities and best practices introduced in the project. The project served as a bridge for students to cross national borders, as few of our students can afford to go abroad and experience other cultures. During the implementation of the activities, students strengthened their bonds with the institution, which in turn improved their academic performance. Students from different countries increased tolerance and eliminated prejudices, developed confidence, self-esteem and felt better both mentally and physically as a result of the training they received. Furthermore, we increased teachers' awareness of various topics related to the inclusion of disadvantaged pupils: equality, self-esteem, the effects of war and migration, tolerance of diversity, empathy and coping with stress.

The first LTTA meeting in N.Macedonia took place on 6-9.03.2023.The second LTTA was held in Romania on 9-12.05.2023, and the third in Türkiye on 9-12.10.2023.

Pre- and post-surveys, as well as in-process evaluations of the Progress made during project activities (academic, social, psychological, affective, and behavioral), were conducted using formative assessment approaches, such as tests, product or project evaluations, performance evaluations, and process skills evaluations. Participants provided pre- and post-event surveys to rate LTT events. Thus, it was established how well this event achieved its objectives. "The Booklet of Good Practices on Inclusive Activities" contained examples of Best practices for a variety of activities that attempted to enhance students' social and personal skills as well as their ability to integrate into the community in a cohesive manner. In addition to being translatedi nto the Rother Project languages, the brochure was originally written in English. The output was created under the direction of the North Macedonian NGO. In addition, a website where all relevant information on good practices on inclusive education and preventing exclusion is posted. In addition, posters prepared by the students promoting unity, tolerance and mutual acceptance were created.
