FOCUS: Final Transnational Project Meeting in Patras, Greece

On 30 June and 1 July 2026, the partners of the FOCUS – Foreign Language Opportunities for Children with Unique Skills Erasmus+ project gathered in Patras, Greece, for the 5th and final Transnational Project Meeting (TPM), hosted by p-consulting.

The meeting marked an important milestone as the consortium reviewed the final stages of the project and coordinated the remaining activities before its official completion.

Throughout the day, partners discussed the finalisation of the project’s key results, including the multilingual FOCUS in Practice Digital Database, the Digital Educational Games, and the FOCUS in Foreign Languages Online Training Programme. The consortium also examined the outcomes of the international pilot testing activities, reviewed dissemination achievements, approved the project’s Sustainability Plan, and coordinated the final administrative and reporting procedures.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for all partners to reflect on the project’s achievements, exchange lessons learned, and discuss the long-term impact of FOCUS in supporting foreign language teachers who work with primary school children with learning difficulties.

ETHOS HUB is proud to contribute to this collaborative European initiative and to support the development of practical, evidence-based educational resources that promote inclusive teaching practices and equal learning opportunities for all children.

As the project enters its final phase, we look forward to sharing the completed FOCUS resources with teachers, schools, and education professionals across Europe.

The FOCUS project aims to fill the knowledge gap among foreign language teachers, creating inclusive classrooms and providing innovative resources to support students with learning difficulties. By fostering both soft and transversal skills, the project seeks to ensure that all students can thrive in language learning environments. More at https://focus-project.eu/
