Project representative to be contacted for further info: Matteo Uggeri (matteo.uggeri@polimi.it) The issue of providing education to children and youngsters with medical or psychological needs which preclude them from accessing mainstream education it’s a world-wide problem and every country has its own solution for it. We think that an international confrontation on this subject may be very useful, as in some countries – probably – there are online/digital solutions that may help the schools and the family to guarantee the right to education also to those children who suffer from serious diseases that force them to stay in the hospital or at home for long time. Main target groups of the project: teachers active in home and hospital education Significant public results: At the time when the EDEN workshop will take place, the LeHo project should have been produced a Key educational factors and related ICT tools table to be used in the field of Home and Hospital Education (HHE), a Glossary of terms in use in HHE and ICT, a draft of the National Institutional Environments in the partners countries. Moreover, Focus Groups with teachers and medical staff will take place all around Europe in the partnership countries, providing feedback on the themes above mentioned. The Online Hub of the project is already up and running at the moment of this submission, and it provides documents on the mentioned deliverables and room for the international and national communities on the theme of home tuition and hospital learning. Some of the communities are already taking place online through social media (https://www.facebook.com/LeHo.ar?ref=br_tf – Arabic FB page; https://www.facebook.com/LeHo.ar?ref=br_tf – International FB group) or official online websites (http://pso.istruzione.it – the Italian portal with his forum).
