Regarding the progress made within Smart and Skills PR3, project partners have agreed on the structure of the result and they are proceeding with the division of tasks. Smart and Skills PR3 consists of a manual for the production of “digital tools on life skills for cooperative learning”. By publishing in this manual how to carry out the activities step by step, it aims to spread the experience to countries and schools that haven’t taken part in the project.
Smart and Skills PR2 “Training course kit for teacher”, which plans for the elaboration of a curriculum is being evaluated by teachers. The teachers involved will be subjected to a submission of a questionnaire created specifically for obtaining quality feedback on the course, in which points of strength and criticality will be highlighted, after the classroom experimentation. The latter is based on life skills with a methodology focused on microteaching and interdisciplinary small units.
Smart and Skills PR1 is about to be piloted in school, in Prague. Experimentation in the classroom is a fundamental and necessary step to verify the degree of usability of the didactic materials and any progress made by students, in particular by the SEN ones (student with special necessities).
As a reminder, Smart and Skills PR1: “Digital Didactic Pills” has for purpose of providing teachers with engaging digital materials targeted especially for students with special needs, and to be used for cooperative learning.
VET 3D Project Result 3 or “Skills intelligence database” consists of a database, designed as a platform with multiple educational resources useful for the development of transversal skills through the integration of the 3 learning dimensions: formal, non-formal and work-based learning. The purpose of this database is to support, thanks also to other training experiences (for instance, school-work alternation, internships), the strengthening of transversal skills useful for employability, within a customized professional training path.

Have you ever heard of digital footprints before? In simple words, every time you visit a website, make a search, post on social media, or send an email, you leave behind a piece of information that can be collected and tracked. This information can be used to understand your online habits and activities. Digital footprints are the record of your activities on the internet.
In March 13.03.2023 – 19.03.2023, Behave Your Prints project invited young people to attend a training in Tirana, Albania. This 5-day training included activities aimed at making participants better understand digital footprints and see what could be the consequences for their entry into professional life.
