It aims at preparing teachers to foster the development soft and digital skills, as well as fundamental life skills (related to health, safety, and social interactions) among students of pre-primary, primary and lower secondary education. Through this innovative intervention, piloted in 218 schools during the school year 2020/2021 and extended to all schools throughout Greece from 2021/2022, students and teachers use knowledge gained in school in a creative way. More than 75 000 educators have either enrolled or completed the 32-hour Skills Labs training. The Skills Labs are organised around 4 main cycles: (a) Better living – Well-being, (b) Environmental consciousness, (c) Interest and action — Social consciousness and responsibility, and (d) Creation and innovation — Creative thinking and initiative. The training material is in line with adult and distance learning methods, it includes video sessions, sources and scenarios for the application of good practices, and it is accompanied by exercises and self-assessment activities. The aim is to foster the intellectual, social, and moral capacities creating a dynamic learning and practice community.
