A requirement for the completion of the Arts4All e-learning platform was the piloting with the target group (young people) in all partner countries. During these test runs, it was checked whether all language versions were complete and comprehensible, whether all functions and links of the platform worked properly and, of course, whether the young people liked the platform (choice of topics, exercises and the layout). In a questionnaire, the participants gave feedback on these topics, which was evaluated by the partners. Overall, the participants were very satisfied with the e-learning platform and there were only minor suggestions for improvement and indications of malfunctions, which were then taken into account in the final optimisation of the platform. A total of 4 piloting sessions took place in the partner countries with a total of 59 participants. The e-learning platform is the basis for the mobile application of the three Arts4All modules on smartphones.

All partners were very satisfied with the results of the meeting and concluded that the project was very successful, even though Corona affected the start and the first steps of the project.
After a long period of Corona restrictions, where the Kick Off Meeting and any interaction was only possible online, the project partners met in person for the first time at the 2nd project meeting in Athens. This meant that the two-day meeting also offered the opportunity for the first time to get to know each other personally outside the agenda.
Important topics of the meeting were the exchange on the development of the project (achievement of objectives, timetable, project management); the status of the work on the Arts4All curriculum and the further steps towards its completion; the first steps towards the development of the mobile tool based on an online learning platform and the update of the timetable with distribution of tasks among the partners. All partners were very satisfied with the results of the meeting and especially welcomed the personal meeting of the project partners.
National Piloting ActivityYou will soon find our first event here.
Kickoff MeetingThis kick-off meeting should be held in Cyprus. Due to Corona restrictions, the meeting was postponed several times (in the hope that a f2f kick off meeting would be possible). Unfortunately, since the Corona conditions did not improve, the meeting finally had to take place online on August 27th, 2021
The project meeting was used to establish the research, quality assurance, valorization and technology frameworks for successful project implementation. This meeting was also used to ensure that all partners clearly understand their role and function in the project and that the reporting and recording responsibilities are outlined and agreed.
