Notes multiplier events

Group 1

If in France, it should be in French…

3 different topics, same participants (

  1. Sharing experiences to understand how in each country the gap can be reduced
  2. We present our recommendations, resources and ask their feedback
  3. Final message - sharing of what can be done, evaluating in their context

Notes multiplier events

Group 2

Same event 3 times, open to all Europe - it might be interesting to see other realities

Parents, school counselors, principals, high school and 1st year students…

Is their feedback still valuable?

*English would be ok for Slovenia

* It could be interesting to record the sessions and share them online so they’re also another resource
