Project Summary

ENDING is a strategic partnership that gathers five organisations from three European member states to jointly develop, test and implement a methodology based in peer learning to prevent the abuse of ICT´s and reduce early school leaving .The project will develop innovative educational tools that will serve the school community as an instrument to promote the good use of ICT´s, to identify relevant sources of information, appropriate to the age of the minors and that, at the same time, promote positive relationships between peers, encourage critical thinking, awareness of existing risks and at the same time promote respect for others. The developed methodology will be tested in six schools in Portugal and Spain that have joined our consortium as associated partners. The project outcomes will be available as Open Education Resources and freely accessible through the website of each partner institution and the project social media.

The project is expected to produce three intellectual outputs:
IO1: Design and development of a methodological E-Guide for educators, containing five thematic modules and implementation guidelines
IO2: Design and development of an E-Guide for Parents, containing five thematic modules and recommendations
IO3: Design and development of an E-Guide for students (produced by students)

ENDING will involve at least 2 teachers, 5-10 parents, 2-3 role model students per participating school and at least two classes per associated school to test the developed methodology and resources. In total, the project expects to involve 12 teachers, 30 parents, 12 role model students and 300 students aged 11 to 14 years. The partnerships will organize six multiplier events engaging 285 participants.
