The fourth Illumine transnational meeting was organised by Kokoro Association, in Porto, during the last week of March 2023. Partners from Spain (UPF, Escola Pia Sarria), Estonia (Tallinn University) and Serbia (Belgrade University) joined the meeting in person, while the team from ArchiPlay joined online.

The two-day hybrid meeting was run to work on the final versions of the project’s results: a Trainer’s Toolkit; an evidence-based teaching practices Handbook; a community of practice for educators; and, research results presented and to be communicated at scientific conferences and in the scientific journals.

Another focus of the meeting was on planning the multiplier event to be organised during the 29th of March in the city of Amarante, with the participation of all partners as keynote speakers.

As next steps for the project, partners agreed on reviewing the case studies that will be presented as part of the Handbook and some as videos to be displayed through the Illumine YouTube Channel (@illumineproject), and on initiate the process to gather Europass Certificates to the teachers attending the Mobility Training hosted by UPF, in October 2022.

This meeting ended in the premises of Colégio de São Gonçalo de Amarante, an associated partner of the Illumine project, with the multiplier event and a visit to the school and its educational approach.
