The project aimed to improve the acquisition of transversal skills for students: improving personal autonomy, initiative, creativity and the ability to work in a team that will facilitate their integration into modern society. To this end, it is believed that the study of CLBC and Python is the ideal methodology to achieve this goal and the possibility of developing it with teachers from other countries has offered the opportunity to take it out of the local pedagogical framework opening the door to new educational perspectives In particular, the main specific objectives of the project were: -Analyse and share existing strategies and resources to improve student satisfaction and teaching/learning processes -Introduce Python, neural networks and CLBC methodology in the curricula -Develop and test a set of training resources and an innovative methodology for teachers In conclusion, the aim of the project was to contribute to innovation in secondary school education/training, offering support to teachers through the introduction of new learning/teaching methods and generating materials that allow testing new active methodologies.

During the entire duration of the project, six activities were carried out, three of which were transnational meetings in person held at the premises of the three partner schools and three others were teaching modules developed and coordinated through online meetings held through the google-meet platform. The three transnational meetings lasting five days each, in addition to the shared planning of the project activities between the partner schools and the verification of their progress, were dedicated in particular to the training of the teachers of the participating delegations and to the design of the methodological resources and case studies that were subsequently shared with the students. During the remaining three teaching modules (Module 1 - How to think and design a challenge; Module 2 - Design python challenges based on real life; Module 3 - Design simple projects on Maths, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics), each school contributed to the development and creation of its own methodological resources, coordinating with the partners through periodic online meetings.

The project envisaged achieving several concrete results, such as developing training and methodological resources for teachers, which could be used as tools to increase students' capacity to work autonomously. At the same time, sharing experiences to identify the common strengths of each partner, testing the CLBC methodology in three EU countries and preparing a report with case studies and recommendations to improve school policies by sharing the results. In detail, the main specific results obtained by the project were the following: -Analyse and share existing strategies and resources to improve student satisfaction and teaching/learning processes -Identify common strengths and development priorities -Introduce Python, neural networks and CLBC methodology in the curricula -Carry out study visits in partner schools to investigate the practices of CLBC and other active methodologies present -Develop and test a set of training resources and an innovative methodology for teachers -Prepare a project impact report incorporating a case-study set
