Leaders in the making: unlocking the future

Erasmus +

This is an innovative project designed to enhance educators’ teaching capabilities while fostering the development of students’ life and entrepreneurial competences alongside language acquisition. The primary goal of this initiative is to equip teachers with effective coaching techniques that promote critical 21st-century skills, including problem-solving, communication, and leadership.

To achieve this, the project focuses on improving the teaching and professional skills of educators, enabling them to develop their students’ life and entrepreneurial competences while facilitating language learning through effective coaching methodologies. Additionally, the project aims to elevate the life competences of adult learners in alignment with established frameworks, such as the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, the Cambridge Life Competencies Framework, the Cambridge Employability Framework and the SPIRE coaching Framework.

The expected results of this project include tailored presentations designed specifically for student learning, comprehensive lesson plans to guide educators in delivering effective training sessions, and self-assessment and team-assessment questionnaires to support student evaluation. Assessment guidelines will also be provided to assist educators in tracking student progress and performance. The main outcome anticipated is the widespread implementation of the Toolkit by language educators, leading to enhanced teaching competences and the development of essential life skills among students.
