Project partners attend planning meeting in Rimini, Italy (7-9 JUNE 2024)

As part of the "Voice of Vocation" project, Debating Society Germany e.V. and members of all other participating nations attended the second mandatory half-annual meeting in Rimini, Italy to confer on future proceedings. After the kick-off event in DEC 2023, the team now advances to the Work Package 2 stage (WP2), which will lead to the creation of a Methodological Guide for vocational teachers to learn about the contents that debating has to offer to their respective subjects. Further work packages include the design of an in-class toolkit (WP3), e-leaning lessons (WP4) and the publication and distribution of all items the project has to deliver (WP5). 

It has been discussed to further re-read and ratify a final version of the Methodological guide ('what to teach') before determining content items of the toolkit ('how to teach it') in the end of 2024 and into 2025. For its success, the working group designed a timeline to include and invite a maximum of 32 vocational teachers from all participating countries (Croatia, Germany, Italy, Serbia) to Pisa, Italy in October 2024 to instruct and train them in an LTTA (learning, teaching, training activity) event. This includes eight teachers from Germany. As a follow-up, they will be asked to put the guide into use in class and give feedback to the Erasmus+ working group. 

The next meeting of planning partners is scheduled for the first weekend in February 2025 in Belgrade, Serbia.
