The first issue of the TACKLE project newsletters is available.
The first newsletter presents the project and the intellectual outputs that will be created.
On February 9th and 10th, the TACKLE partners met virtually in a series of thematic meetings. The partners reviewed and discussed the sets to finalize the first intellectual output of the project- the TACKLE Digital Checklist, debated formats and functionalities for IO2 – the TACKLE Guidance Action Plan and Resource as well as looked ahead to IO3 – the Training Module. The partners look forward to May/June and the pilot testing of the tools with Secondary schools (directors, teachers, tutors, guidance practitioners).

On June 17th, 2021 D’EP Institut and the Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona held a focus group with guidance practitioners in Secondary schools to discuss the proposal of the Tackle Checklist and what, as professionals, would be most useful to see in the tool to improve the guidance programmes of their schools.
On the 27th of April the Tackle Project partners held the first Transnational Project Meeting. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, instead of meeting in Barcelona, Spain, as foreseen, they met online.
The First Transnational meeting in Barcelona was a moment to re-establish and share project management and implementation guidelines at the start of the project.
The project partners came together and began work on creating the evaluation items and indicators for the digital checklist for Secondary schools with an initial brainstorming
session to develop the Tackle Checklist parameters and items.
