Objective #4: To evaluate the performance of the application of the proposed methodology and to provide documentation with the main lessons learnt, through a set of application scenarios in primary and secondary schools. Objective #5: To disseminate and communicate the results of EduCardia in the Erasmus+ platforms, as well as in the wide network of the EduCardia partners, enabling their adoption by interested parties.
