Partners have met remotely on the first transnational meeting on 5 July 2022. First, the current state of affairs regarding the administrative part of the project and the activities carried out during this period was presented. A preliminary monitoring report was prepared for the Slovene National Agency, addressing most of the weaknesses identified during the project application and explaining how the implementation of the project will be monitored in the further phases.

The eWBL project had a third successful face-to-face transnational partner meeting, held in Ireland last week. The gathering saw all six partners meet to reflect and discuss the project’s progress since it began in 2021. Building on the initial case study research and the creation of the eWBL Framework, the project recently unveiled a pilot version of a practical eWBL toolkit designed to empower higher education institutions with essential knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality eWBL.

From 30 November to 2 December 2023, the NECE Festival 2023: FUTURES! conference took place in Madrid, with the themes of learning and exchange, mapping and exploration, networking and advocacy. Over a hundred representatives from civil society, politics and science from Europe and beyond came together for three days of lectures, workshops, markets and informal conversations to work together and individually to find solutions to civic education and future challenges.

At the beginning of November, we organised a workshop on filming and editing videos for students taking the 'Youth and Politics' and 'Comparative Politics of Human Rights' courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences. In both courses, students will prepare group research assignments, which will be presented in videos that they will film and edit themselves, presenting the themes and findings of their research assignments.
