ACTIVITIES

Here you will find all the different activities that will be carried out during the SLIPS project.

PROJECT PROGRESS EVENTS

KICK OFF EVENT / TPM I

The Kick-off event was held on 16 February 2024 and comprised of a 1-day event in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. It welcomed more than 44 participants including project partners and external stakeholders from public institutions, civil society, and the education sector (ie. schools/teachers), who were introduced to the 'Service-Learning In Primary Schools' (SLIPS) project and experienced increased awareness and interest in getting involved in the topic.

You can find more information about the Kick-Off Event in our report here.

MIDTERM EVENT / TPM II

The Mid-term project event took place on 24 January 2025 and consisted of a 1-day event in Granada, Spain. It welcomed 25 participants including project partners and external stakeholders. Those previously involved in the kick off meeting, and those involved with the piloting outside of the partnership, were invited to attend, to further the interest generated about the project and strengthen the potential community of practice, which is building and following the project, even without being involved in the concrete project implementation.

FINAL EVENT / TPM III

The Final Project Event will take place at the end of the project and also consist of a 1-day event welcoming a minimum of 25 participants including project partners and external stakeholders in Brussels, Belgium. It will be organised to close the project, inviting relevant stakeholders and interested parties again to ensure the widest possible dissemination of the project successes and best practices.

INFORMATION SESSIONS

From June to November 2024, each partner has hosted information sessions in their country, both online and in-person ones, in which they in total have welcomed more than 450 participants, largely exceeding the target of including more than 40 stakeholders in each country.

The Information sessions were conducted in order to best generate interest and awareness of the project, as well as to attract potential collaborators and target groups. During the sessions, partners have shared the project concepts, benefits, and encouraging uptake of the training opportunity.

LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY EVENTS

The SLIPS project will include 6 sustainability events in partner countries: Portugal, Croatia, Slovakia, Spain, Lithuania and Bosnia & Herzegovina. These will be 1-day events hosted by partners in their local contexts with each of them welcoming at least 40 persons to disseminate the project and its outputs towards national and local stakeholders.

The sustainability events will be organised towards the end of the project duration.

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

SLIPS will include 5 online Community of Practice (CoP) events contributing to ensuring the sustainability of the project. Each CoP session will host a respective guest for a specific topic and the programme will include multimedia, expert input and discussion space for practitioners.

The community of practice events will serve as a knowledge sharing platform and a networking and building professional relationship with other participants. Each session will provide the guests with the opportunity to offer insights, guidance, background and specialised knowledge, which will serve as an enriching learning experience for all.
