Despite the unusual situation, the UP2B project partnership continues the work on the project implementation!
Last friday, we had an online meeting with our partners in order to discuss what we've done until this moment and how we can organize our future activities considering the impact of Covid-19 pandemic at national and international level.
The partnership decided to ask the Portuguese National Agency for a prorogation of the project with 6 additional months. In event this request is accepted, it will take the ending date of the project to the 29th December 2022 (instead of the current 29th/June/2022) which will also allow to have one additional school period to test/use the outputs.
The next steps before the partnership will be the development of the networking platform and teaching tools repository - IO1 – ‘School & Job’ Community of Practice (CoP) and Active Repository of Teaching Tools and IO2 – ‘School & Job’ Matching Handbook, covering the widest range possible of school subjects (STEM, Arts, Sports, Citizenship, and other).
The next face to face partnership meeting was planned for 12th-13th October 2020 in Riga, Latvia. Due to the uncertain situation regarding international travel, it will be postponed.
