Transnational Project Meetings (TPM)

• Getting to know each other personally for the first time
• Align cohesive inclusion with all activities
• Steps for finalizing the intervention
• Review of qualitative research
• Flyer design for teachers and schools
• Discuss the content for the inclusive e-learning platform

TMP:

Aim: The aim is to present the survey results, policy recommendation and what they have done until the meeting, difficulties that have been faced during the development of the outputs and possible solution recommendations will be presented.

LTT:

Aim: The aim of this training is to provide participants from partner organisations and involved in the local trainings with the skills and knowledge they need to train the local primary teachers on how to implement the intervention with students. This will give participants an opportunity to explore ways that the different components of the lessons and topics can be incorporated into in-person trainings that they will be conducting.

Topics will be:

• Social-emotional Learning Settings (M&M)
• Cohesive Inclusion Education (Foyle)
• Inclusive educational robots (UDE)

We want to answer the questions:

• How robots can be a useful educational resource?
• How to use TOKADI?
• How to implement the intervention? Card, storytelling, steps, etc.
• How robots can support the social emotional development?
• How robots can support inclusion?
• How to use the robot to evaluate?

Methodology will be:

• learning by doing. Based on an activity, we will introduce the topic and the content (this content will be completed after the training with a guide/handbook that will include the intervention steps / lesson plan and the local training methodology-guide).
• Pre-activity / reading about the topics: preparation for the training. As we only have 12 hours to introduce the different topics and know about the intervention and topics, participants will do some introductory pre-activities.

Participants for this training will be staff/local trainers from partner organisations who will conduct the local training with teachers. They will in turn carry out the local trainings based on the topics learnt during this training.

Aim: 

The aim of the Transnational Project Meeting was to collaboratively reflect on key aspects of the project work carried out so far and to plan the next steps. The meeting began with a session dedicated to sharing experiences from the study and intervention. The focus was on highlighting the strengths of the implementation and identifying potential challenges or areas for improvement.

Following this, the participants worked together on preparing the quantitative data for statistical analysis. A Q&A session with the Lithuanian group was held to address any open questions regarding data entry and to ensure a consistent approach across all partners.

In the afternoon, the focus shifted to the qualitative data analysis, which was led by the Finnish group. The goal was to develop a shared methodological understanding and to discuss initial approaches and interpretations of the qualitative data.

The meeting concluded with the planning of future publications and conference contributions. As part of this, the evaluation of the educational packages was also addressed, with the aim of refining them before finalization.
