Recognize - remedy – re-engage: focus on the Erasmus+ project

Published on 04/02/2016

As part of the activities related to the Erasmus+ project RECOGNIZE – REMEDY – RE-ENGAGE, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) organized a training week in Madrid (Spain) from 25 to 29 January 2016.

LIST is the coordinator of this project, launched in October 2015, which follows on from the Comenius project. The aim of the project is to prevent students in dropping out by promoting three innovative pedagogical methods: multiple intelligences, tangible interfaces and cooperative learning.

In this context, over the two years of the project, the headteachers of the partner schools committed themselves to putting in place at least two pedagogical methods with 30% of their teaching staff. LIST has a coordinating role and is also involved in the area of skills evaluation. Different skills evaluation and collaborative learning services developed around the open source softwareTAO® (Testing Assisté par Ordinateur [Open Assessment Technologies]) and the tangible table are thus made available to the actors in the project.

The teachers and project partners, namely Malta, Latvia, Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg, participated in the training week in Madrid: it was the opportunity to put the pedagogical methods into practice and discuss the question of early leaving school. LIST had the opportunity to develop new collaborative learning scenarios with teachers on the tangible table with the aim of implementing these scenarios in the classrooms of the teachers involved.

For information, RECOGNIZE – REMEDY – RE-ENGAGE is actively involved in ERASMUS+, a programme for education, training, youth and sport. On a more general note, early leaving school is one of the priorities of the European Commission, hence its commitment to reduce the number of young people  in the situation of dropping out to under 10% by 2020

The next training session will take place in Malta in October 2016. Please contact Hélène Mayer if you have any questions.
