Year 2018 marked the entry into the second year of the project. Once the preparatory stage was over, the activities kickstarted with the preparation of the teaching materials for online courses.
Special attention was given to the methodological and pedagogical aspects to be applied and to keep all members of the partnership always engaged and on the same page.
The management of technical and formal implied that the attractiveness of the courses towards their users increased as soon as the project was promoted in all the participating countries. Last spring, beFORE was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Foresight Europe Network – FEN in Berlin, the Conference on Future-oriented Technology Analysis in Brussels and the ISPIM Conference on International Innovation in Stockholm. Shortly after, the project partners met in Berlin to decide the next steps to be taken and define a common action plan to design the course.
The evaluation received from experts in the field has praised the achievements of the project and the methodologies used and requested just a few slight corrective measures. Their contribute proved valuable in the following months and will still be in the future.
Since the end of the summer, partners have been working on developing the online course and its learning materials. We are currently planning the start of the testing phase, scheduled for the beginning of next year. Keep following us on our media in the coming months to stay updated on what we have in store!
