Two productive days in Athens for the 2nd Transnational Partner Meeting of the Erasmus+ project “Let’s Meet Offline!” 🇪🇺🇬🇷
We were very happy to host our partners at Active Citizens Partnership on 7–8 September and continue working together on a challenge that is becoming increasingly important for schools: how to create more opportunities for meaningful offline interaction, play, participation and human connection in an increasingly screen-centred world.
During the first day, partners from Greece, Slovakia and Poland shared the results of the school piloting activities, including feedback from teachers and students who tested the project's draft offline lesson scenarios and intervention cards. These experiences helped us identify what works in real school environments and what needs to be improved before finalising the project toolkit.
We also worked together on the next major project outputs:
🔹 finalising the 20 open lesson scenarios and 20 intervention cards
🔹 developing the project Toolkit and Booklet
🔹 preparing the multilingual Resource Portal
🔹 designing the 15-hour Teacher Training Curriculum
🔹 planning the international Train-the-Trainer programme in Greece and subsequent national teacher training activities
🔹 strengthening dissemination, impact assessment and sustainability activities.
The second day took us outside the meeting room for a visit to Athener Schule in Athens, giving the partnership an opportunity to engage directly with the school environment, exchange ideas with educators and connect the project's work with everyday educational practice.
And perhaps this is exactly what “Let’s Meet Offline!” is about: not rejecting technology, but remembering that some of the most important things in education still happen when people are physically together — talking, playing, collaborating, experimenting and learning from one another.
A big thank you to all our partners for the energy, ideas and excellent cooperation during these two days.
Now back to work on the next phase of the project!
