Project Summary

Our partnership combines the efforts of 8 organisations (6 schools and 2 training providers) from five European countries (PT, BG, IT, BE, RO) in an attempt to create a unique and innovative educational tool to support teachers in their daily work and students (6-10 ;10- 14;14-16;16-19 y.o.) to be engaged in their achievements, development and success.
The idea of 12 HABITS FOR SUCCESS project has emerged from challenges schools and teachers in our partnership face in empowering their educational materials and approaches for habits and engaging their students for delivering habits building and personal growth, that is, to succeed as lifelong learners and as citizens in a changing society.
The overall goal of the 12 HABITS FOR SUCCESS is to enhance capacities of teachers to improve student’s motivation, habits needs and gain a better understanding of their strengths and for both actors the continuation of their personal and professional development either in education or in personal life.
The project activities will be grouped in work (WP) processes which can be summarized as follows:
1-WP1-Management- Main activities: strategic documents adoption, 4 partner meetings, task allocations, reporting, monitoring, quality assurance, risk management, communication with National Agency and internal evaluation.
2-WP2-Development of the 12 HABITS FOR SUCCESS Methodology guide book and students activity book which will foster wide cross-sectorial partnerships on developing further innovations to support teaching and training practices.
These resources will ensure motivation, coaching and support habits building and will be a source of open educational resource which will lead the non-experienced educators through the habits building and personal growth for their students so they can overcome the barriers faced while gaining new knowledge, experience and skills. It will be translated in all partners languages, plus English; Piloting in classroom, evaluation reports,fine tuning.
