Vilnius Hosts the TASC Erasmus+ Meeting
This week, Vilnius became the center of educational innovation as the TASC Erasmus+ consortium and Teacher Board met from December 10th to 14th. The TASC Erasmus+ Meeting focused on enhancing sustainable communication training for educators, aiming to drive social change through education.
Participants, including 29 consortium members and 22 Teacher Board representatives, collaborated intensively to evaluate and refine the Grade B Teacher Training Manual (TTM), a cornerstone of the project’s comprehensive 20 ECTS training program. The vibrant agenda featured interactive sessions, module testing, and capacity-building workshops, all hosted at the Vilniaus Kolegija.
Key Highlights from the Meeting
1. Collaborative Module Testing
A major focus was the feedback and testing of Grade B modules, which include:

Teacher Board members, acting as critical evaluators, provided insights into the training modules to ensure their relevance and impact.
2. Workshops on Digital Competences
