During this meeting, two training sessions has been held on two different aspects that will be worked on in the project. Spain has been in charge of showing its partners how to apply efficiently the inquiry-based learning methodology. To carry out this task, a training workshop has been held in which the steps to be followed have first been thoroughly detailed and then activities have been carried out as examples of good practices in the use of this methodology in European projects. They also have present to the partners examples of good practices in the evaluation, dissemination and impact of the project, both their own and those collected in the success stories of the results platform.
Italy has been in charge of training the rest of the partners in the software that will be used during the project, since it is a center specialized in this field. In addition, since it is a center with eTwinning awards, it has trained other partners to work on this platform. In order to fulfill this task, it has carried out a training workshop, where the two aspects has been worked together. The Italian partner has shown his success stories on the platform and has shown the different activities carried out on them.
In the twinspace the members have several tools they can use to carry on the project, to continue what established during the mobilities, to organize all the materials produced in time, but above all disseminate the project among all the school community. Special emphasis has been placed on the use of etwinning as a tool for the improvement of student’s creativity, critical thinking, and national and international collaboration. In addition, they have proposed activities in the use of Software for the project that the other partners will carry out.
The results of this meeting have been the training of all the partners in the different sections worked on. In this way, everyone can participate in the project together. In addition, each member return to their center with all the new information, which they can share with their colleagues, improving teaching activities. All this work has been shared by eTwinning and in the dissemination channels of the project.
In addition, this training has been very beneficial for partners with less experience in this kind of project, since they have been able to observe different ways of working at the beginning of it.
These training activities have taken place in the coordinating center, so that the teachers at the reception center have had open access and have been encourage to participate in the meeting lessons. The team in charge of the project at the center has always attend these lessons.
As tangible results general guidelines has been agreed by all team members on the correct and most appropriate use of the methodology, etwinning and software tools.
At the end of the meeting, the work done and what has been learned by the different partners have been evaluated.
