EPA has been represented in the FEAD Network by our Ambassador Herminio Correa (second left in the picture). In the network they are trying to find cooperation possibilities of projects financed from FEAD funds and those working with groups of people, those who are the most deprived in Europe, to amplify the effect of FEAD funding. The following project idea was developed at the last network meeting at a contest and won. It is a simple but great idea worth considering to implement. Let us know if you decide to make it a reality.

This year’s LEGO
Idea Conference highlighted the most important issues around quality
education by revisiting two world famous oldies: Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to
Heaven and Give P’s a Chance (sic!) by John Lennon. While the former relates to
PISA results and equitable education systems, the latter refer to the 4 P’s of
a quality learning experience (projects, passion, play and peers). The event
was also the opportunity to launch the new PlayFutures network aiming at
creating a world that values playful learning, and EPA is a partner in. The
conference has come up with a ‘simple’ recipe for education reform: putting
children in the centre of change and making them feel it is good for them.
