Project description

Leaders in the Making: Unlocking the Future is an innovative project designed to enhance educators’ teaching capabilities while fostering the development of students’ life and entrepreneurial competences alongside language acquisition. The primary goal of this initiative is to equip teachers with effective coaching techniques that promote critical 21st-century skills, including problem-solving, communication, and leadership.

To achieve this, the project focuses on improving the teaching and professional skills of educators, enabling them to develop their students’ life and entrepreneurial competences while facilitating language learning through effective coaching methodologies. Additionally, the project aims to elevate the life competences of adult learners in alignment with established frameworks, such as the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, the Cambridge Life Competences Framework, and the Cambridge Employability Framework.

The expected results of this project include tailored presentations designed specifically for student learning, comprehensive lesson plans to guide educators in delivering effective training sessions, and self-assessment and team-assessment questionnaires to support student evaluation. Assessment guidelines will also be provided to assist educators in tracking student progress and performance. The main outcome anticipated is the widespread implementation of the Toolkit by language educators, leading to enhanced teaching competences and the development of essential life skills among students.

The International House Bucharest serves as the project coordinator, collaborating with several partners, us from Dante Alighieri, International House Torres Vedras from Portugal, International House Giga from Catania, Italy, and Oxford School from Leskovac, Serbia.

Activities

First transnational meeting
Catania, Italy
Dates:13/11/2024 - 14/11/2024
Host: Giga International House Catania
In November 2024, we held our kick-off meeting in Catania, where, together with our partners — Giga International House Catania, International House Bucharest, International House Torres Vedras, and Oxford School Leskovac — we planned our first steps toward creating an innovative curriculum focused on enhancing life skills for our learners through coaching methods. During the meeting, we defined all project management tasks and outlined our next steps for developing the project outcomes.
Second transnational meeting
Split, Croatia
Dates:17/07/2025 - 18/07/2025
Host: Uciliste Jantar
Learning materials have been successfully developed in line with the project timeline and quality requirements, and partners have agreed on a clear structure and plan for the development of lesson plans, which will be implemented in the next phase of the project. Assessment tools, specifically SAQs (Self-Assessment Questionnaires) and TAQs (Team-Assessment Questionnaires), will be developed in parallel with the lesson planning process to ensure coherence between teaching content and evaluation methods. Project management is progressing smoothly, with activities implemented according to the agreed schedule and responsibilities well distributed among partners. In addition, a plan for the production of podcasts has been developed as part of the dissemination strategy, aiming to further promote project results and increase visibility through more engaging and accessible formats.
Third transnational meeting
Torres Vedras, Portugal
Dates:31/03/2026 - 01/04/2026
Host: International House Torres Vedras
Partners confirmed that all learning materials have been completed according to the project timeline, with emphasis placed on ensuring consistency in formatting, structure, and naming conventions before uploading. Impact and piloting preparations were defined in detail. Piloting will involve approximately four teachers and around 40 students per school, running from April to July. Separate questionnaires for teachers, students, and external dissemination events will be developed to measure impact and outcomes.
