The Balance Your Life project aims to support adults across Europe in developing healthier routines, reducing stress, and preventing burnout. In today’s demanding and fast-paced society, many adults struggle to maintain harmony between personal and professional responsibilities. This project seeks to bridge that gap by equipping participants with practical strategies and tools that promote well-being, productivity, and a sustainable work-life balance.
A key objective of the Balance Your Life project is to educate adults about the signs, causes, and consequences of burnout, helping them better understand its impact on their mental, emotional, and physical health. Through targeted training and interactive learning opportunities, participants will explore effective time-management techniques, self-care practices, and mindful approaches that support healthier daily habits.
To enhance accessibility and long-term use, the project will develop a structured Work-Life Balance Curriculum alongside a digital learning platform containing educational materials, practical tools, and engaging resources. Participants will have access to self-assessment quizzes, worksheets, and videos designed to reinforce positive lifestyle changes and track progress over time. Each partner organisation will also host a webinar focusing on mental health and well-being, offering guidance on stress management, resilience, and healthy work habits.
A comprehensive dissemination strategy—including social media activity, informational meetings, and final events in each partner country—will ensure that the project’s impact extends to broader communities and relevant stakeholders across Europe.
By the end of the project, adults participating in the programme will have a practical toolkit of self-care strategies, improved time-management skills, and enhanced awareness of burnout prevention. These outcomes are expected to contribute to long-lasting behavioural change, enabling individuals to lead healthier, more balanced, and more productive lives.

Project Title: AI Navigators: Empowering Teachers for the AI Era
Project Number: KA220-SCH-7C1CB3AA
Duration of Project: 24 months (01/10/2024 – 30/09/2026)
Project Languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English.
The AI Navigators project is designed to empower educators across Europe by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the educational system. The project focuses on enhancing AI literacy among 120 teachers from five partner countries: North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Belgium. In a rapidly changing technological landscape, the project seeks to bridge the gap between AI advancements and classroom practices, ensuring that teachers are equipped to use AI tools effectively and innovatively.
A core objective of the AI Navigators project is to train 20 teachers to become AI Navigators—leaders who will guide and mentor their peers in using AI in education. These AI Navigators will undergo specialised training, after which they will work closely with 100 pilot teachers selected for the AI integration program. The pilot phase will be implemented in classrooms across the five countries, allowing educators to test, refine, and implement AI-based teaching methods.
The project will develop a comprehensive AI competence model that outlines the skills and knowledge educators need to use AI effectively. In addition, various e-learning materials, including at least 12 instructional videos, will be produced. These resources will support teachers in adapting AI to enhance teaching and learning, making classrooms more innovative and future-ready.
A series of activities is planned to disseminate the project’s outcomes, including informational meetings, social media campaigns, and a final international conference in Skopje. This dissemination strategy aims to extend the project’s impact beyond the participating schools, reaching a broader audience within the educational community across Europe.
The project is expected to generate long-lasting benefits by fostering a network of educators proficient in AI, creating AI-integrated lesson plans, and positively shifting attitudes toward AI in education. By the end of the project, participating teachers will have developed a toolkit of resources that they can continue to use and share, ensuring that the benefits of AI in education are both widespread and sustainable.

Project Title: ACT Communicate Transcend
Project Number: 2020-1-HR01-KA227-SCH-094792
Duration of Project: May 2021 – May 2023
Project Languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English, Italian, Romanian, Turkish, Bulgarian and Croatian.
The aims of the ACT project are to assist the progress of learning English as a foreign language, in particular speaking skills, by developing a unique drama-based speaking assessment rubric, a set of training materials, a drama-based activity book, and, finally, an e-learning platform which will unite all previously mentioned intellectual outputs. The said intellectual outputs will provide a deeper understanding of drama and its benefits in the classroom.
The project has brought together 8 partners from 6 different countries and employed 12 ESL teachers. This multicultural and diverse cross-sectoral cooperation includes a theatre company, a directorate, a university, two NGOs, an adult education centre, and a foreign language school.
The project target groups involve primary and secondary English language teachers from 6 countries, namely Croatia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, and the UK. Their involvement in the project is crucial as they will be implementing the developed activities and will be actively involved throughout the project. Having been involved in the project, the teachers will gain an in-depth knowledge of drama-based speaking activities, improve their pedagogical skills, develop their language and cultural understanding, and make their teaching more fun.
The latest surveys on the accomplishments of English language learners, as well as a comparative analysis of languages in education and training across the EU, have revealed that “most Member States face challenges in ensuring appropriate learning outcomes in the field of languages”, as stated in the document mentioned above. This indicates the necessity to bring a change into the curricula and provide an innovative tool that will be directed at improving English language speaking skills. We believe that bringing drama-based activities into the classrooms across Europe will increase the level of students’ motivation, interest, and engagement, and most importantly, facilitate their learning process as well as improve their speaking skills.
The intellectual outputs will be made available for use both for teachers and their students, even after the project is finalised, to develop new and innovative teaching methods and implement these directly into practice, as well as professional development through project work.
For more information on the implementation of drama-based activities in English language education visit the ACT project website, and follow the project on Facebook and Instagram.

LFLO
Project Number: 2020-1-UK01-KA226-VET-094508
Project Title: Learning Foreign Languages Online
Duration of Project: June 2021 – May 2023
Project Languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English, Spanish, Greek and Polish.
According to the University of Oxford, thousands of people have decided to learn or continue learning one of the most marketable skills for employment: a foreign language. The LFLO project intends to help increase their employability with foreign language skills. The aim of the Learning Foreign Languages Online project is to make it easier for adult and self-directed language learners to learn a foreign language online.
Project partners have developed 2 innovative products/intellectual outputs that aim to encourage self-directed learners to understand how foreign languages are learned and how to engage available online materials to support their learning journey effectively. The products have been assessed by a team of language experts and have been compiled into a project website.
The first product/intellectual output is a compilation of Open Educational Resources (OERs). In the context of this project, OERs are freely accessible, openly licensed online resources for language learners (e.g., grammar websites, podcasts, etc.). The resource organises each language’s materials by CEFR level (language level) and area of language study (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
While using the resources, users can learn 7 languages:English, Spanish, Italian, French, Polish, German, and Croatian.
The second product/intellectual output is an e-course designed to guide as to how to use our compilation of OERs effectively. The E-course provides 40 hours’ worth of lessons and is comprised of 2 modules:
Best practices for self-directed learning- designed to help learners understand how to manage their learning
Best practices for foreign language learning – designed to help learners understand the different components of language learning.
With this e-course, learners will develop highly useful skills to be more self-sufficient at learning languages with available resources online.
You can download the PDF project leaflet inEnglish and in Croatian
