On the last days of May (29.-30.5.2023), the project consortium of the international European project EIFNEG: Emotional intelligence as a basis for the educational and personal development of the new European generation met for the fourth time, this time in the historic Spanish city of Granada. This meeting was also attended for the first time in person by a representative of the Portuguese organisation ASDPESO, with whom contact was again successfully re-established.
For this reason, the already finalised first project result “Search for the Perfect Menu”, led by the Spanish school Colegio Séneca, was discussed again at the beginning of the meeting. After the input from the Portuguese partner, it will be possible to officially close this work package and to complete the translation of some of its parts, namely the summary report of the workshops and the definition of the 10 key areas of emotional intelligence into all partner languages (Czech, Romanian, Spanish and Portuguese).
The second project deliverable “Choosing the Best Ingredients”, or in other words a handbook for teachers, is also complete in terms of content. It is now in the phase of final review and evaluation by the project’s “non-school” partners and testing by the project’s “school” partners. According to the agreed plan, all work should be completed by the end of June 2023 so that the document can also be translated into all languages of the project partners during the summer months.
However, the main topic of this project meeting was to introduce the partners to the upcoming, last project output called “Cooking and Final Touch”, which is led by our organization (IEPS). During our presentation, we introduced the partners to the main objectives of this output and how to achieve them according to the project application. In addition to the presentation itself, all steps, their format, the division of work between “school” and “non-school” partners, and the timeframe for the development of the final deliverable were discussed together during the workshop. So we are ready to follow the original timeframe and to bring this last project result by the end of this year.
