Resumo

This thesis examines the collaboration between non-governmental non-profit organisations focusing on pupils with a different mother tongue and schools in three European geographical areas: the Czech Republic, Italy and Spain. It answers three research questions: (1) What services do non-profit organisations offer to teachers? (2) How do non-profit organisations view current cooperation? (3) Are teachers aware of the existence of non-profit organisations in this field and are they interested in such cooperation? A mixed methods approach is used, applying a questionnaire to 34 non-profit organisations (9 Czech, 19 Spanish, 6 Italian) and in-depth interviews with 15 teachers from three countries. The results reveal the broad potential of non-profit organisations as partners in education, covering important issues in intercultural education and strategies that could enhance such partnership.
