The strategic partnership project team of the Erasmus+ project I.We.Society met at its host, the Ljudska univerza Rogaška Slatina in Slovenia from 23 to 25 May 2022. We are approximately in the middle of the implementation of the project, and we are working on the implementation of the project activities. Together, the contents of all online courses are created, experiences are exchanged, contents are proposed, and the methodology for creating online courses itself. Each project partner is primarily responsible for the creation of one online course, but also participates in the creation of the remaining five courses. At the meeting of the project team, reports on the progress of individual activities were submitted, administrative issues were discussed, and the planning and implementation of the following activities were agreed upon.

The project partners are working on creating six online courses for six different target groups, as follows:

Andragogical workshops for employees of the Ministry of the Interior were held according to the approved program with the consent of the Agency for Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education, and organized by the Police Academy.
During the workshops, the participants had the opportunity to refresh their andragogic knowledge and expand it with new knowledge related to the planning and implementation of lessons directed towards the participant. Also, they were able to apply and upgrade their knowledge and skills in a number of tasks, and in a fun and interactive way, they became aware of the benefits of active teaching methods.
