Project
An Erasmus+
Strategic Partnership
to improve
career learning
in primary schools.
The project will work to create a set of innovative resources with the aim of preventing Early School Leaving and empowering pupils to design their future.
Why are there about 4 millions of young people in Europe who are not engaged in education, training or employment?
How to help children broaden their aspirations and develop the skills they will need for their career development?
Starting career education
early is crucial!
Holding biased assumptions
and having narrow
aspirations can impact
the whole story of a child!
