The Erasmus+ project SocialBlend began in early 2022, the focus of the project is on the development of transversal skills, through blended learning for elementary school children from the ages of 6 – 12. The project is carried out by partners from seven different EU countries. The partners consist of organizations and educational institutions with expertise in diverse fields, related to education, digitalization and communication.
The partners contributing are:
- Catholic Education Flanders – Belgium
- VitaComm Education – Cyprus
- Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) – Finland
- The Association for Hungarian Digital Education (MDOE) – Hungary
- University of Bielsko-Biala – Poland
- Radio Romania – Romania
- Impact Games – Slovakia
In the early stages of the project, it was determined that there is a vast number of themes and skills in connection to transversal education and therefore it was decided to focus on 10 core transversal skills, to develop both discussion and learning toolboxes to guide the educators in how to approach the education of transversal skills.
The 10 core transversal skills:
- Compassion
- Democratic Participation
- Respect for the Environment
- Communication Skills
- Ability to Study independently
- Self-Discipline
- Flexibility & Adaptability
- Ability to think independently
- Resourcefulness
- Appreciating a Healthy lifestyle
