The six partner institutions of the Erasmus+ funded research project E-Evalinto met in DCU St. Patrick’s Campus on 15 – 16March 2018. Over the two days, partners shared their experiences of how the initial pilot schools who have joined the project as research partners are progressing with the intercultural peer mentoring activities.
The research project, which aims to combat early school leaving amongst migrant students, focuses on a variety of targeted peer mentoring activities followed by a range of assessments on a purpose-built virtual campus. Presently, a pilot group of post-primary teachers in Spain, Italy, Poland, Cyprus and Ireland are receiving training in the use of the E-EVALINTO virtual campus.
