New meeting of the “STARTKNOW” project 24

16. Last meeting in Greece for the “ACT2IMPACT” project

In date 30/08/2022 took place, in presence, in Volos the last project meeting “Development of Critical and Creative Thinking Skills to Foster Employment and Impact Success in Job” (acronym “ACT2IMPACT”), approved in Spain as Action n. 2019-1-ES01-KA204-065216 in the framework of the Erasmus Plus KA2 Strategic Partnerships for Adult Education programme by the Spanish National Agency. The project, which formally ended on 31 August, carried out all the planned courses (developed in an innovative and interactive manner with concrete activities and practical exercises) as well as a pilot training activity with some young people, aiming to bridge the gap between the set of transversal skills of the new generations preparing to enter the labour market or their first work experience and the needs currently demanded by companies. The project therefore developed an enhancement pathway that, through an integrated approach, supports the development of transversal critical and creative thinking skills, relying on Internet tools and promoting new skills through highly interactive challenges and exercises together with collaborative debates through an online discussion forum. The initiative involved the following organisations: FUNDEUN (Spain - project coordinator), UTH (Greece), E&D Knowledge Consulting Lda (Portugal), Danmar Computers LLC (Poland) and EURO-NET (Italy). Further information on the activities and products developed by the European project can be found on the initiative's website at https://act2impact.eu/ or on the Facebook page of the transnational partnership at the link https://www.facebook.com/Act2impact101666948045902.
