At the beginning of November we we had another YoungLEAD project meeting in Granada, this time in Granada, Spain. The meeting was attended by teachers Jan Juříček and Pavel Namyslo, who represent our school in this project, and the partners from schools and educational organisations from Spain and Ireland. On the first day we focused on a summary of the project's outputs so far, which are soft skills games for pupils and a methodological guide for teachers. Here we also discussed their inclusion in the project's learning platform, which should be available at the beginning of next year. We have also started work on another project deliverable, which includes small learning units, called learning nuggets and through topics such as communication, problem solving or decision making, they will be used to help pupils practise their soft skills and further self-development. We have followed this up by planning further activities which will be webinars for teachers and the completion of the learning platform. During the day we also tried out some self-development games that can be used with students in the classroom and for Stross we presented on the topic of engaging foreign language learners in schools and the situation in the Czech Republic and we followed this with a short discussion. On the second day we visited the school COLEGIOS SALESIANOS GRANADA ((https://granada.salesianos.edu/)

The first meeting within the YoungLEAD project took place at the beginning of the year in Prague, hosted by educational organization IEPS. At this meeting we planned the different phases of the project and the deliverables to support the inclusion of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We also visited Stross Primary School together, where the partners had the opportunity to hear information about the inclusion of pupils from various backgrounds. Throughout the project, several results are planned to be developed. Firstly, a Methodic Guideline for teachers on the topics of leadership skills. Secondly, we are working on a total of 21 leadership skills games for use in classrooms with students. For example, we will focus on teamwork, communication or empathy. Eventually, a set of learning activities in the form of an interactive collection of inspiring stories of young students engaged in civic activities and participating in the EU will be produced. All of these materials will be made available to teachers through a common educational digital platform. We are delighted to be able to share our ideas and experiences with these particular international partners and look forward to the joint outcomes, as well as the next meeting which will take place in Dublin in April this year.
