What have we done so far?

Following on from a research and data collection stage, the first Transnational Project Meeting was held in Kusadasi, Turkey, to define methodologies and organizational details of the project’s development.

The project then continued nationally with the set tasks, followed by a Teaching Training Learning Activity in Talavera de la Reina, Spain, from the 30th January to 3rd February. Partners discussed the educational systems in their countries and the extend to which Values Education is represented in each of them. They were introduced to aspects of online learning and how these might be applied to values education. Learning materials for the online course and the types of available online learning platforms available were also analysed.

Similarly to the beauty of Kusadasi, its ancient culture, traditions, scents and flavours, Talavera de la Reina’s history, culture and the beauty of its ceramic tiles welcomed VALID’s partners. The city of Toledo gave participants the opportunity to experience a real-life example of coexistence of three different cultures and the importance of shared values such as Respect and Tolerance.
Also discussed were the values of Freedom, Democracy and Human Dignity, particularly ways of making students’ aware of the responsibility and limits they imply. Learning outcomes for an online course module on Values education was another important topic discussed at the meeting in Talavera, which successfully laid the foundation blocks on which the project will be developed.
