On 18 September 2026, ETHOS HUB organised an online Multiplier and Piloting Event in Greece, bringing together teachers from Chronos Tutoring Center in the framework of the Erasmus+ project FOCUS: Foreign Language Opportunities for Children with Unique Skills.

The two-hour event, titled “FOCUS: Inclusive Foreign Language Teaching through Digital Tools,” aimed to introduce educators to the project’s main results and provide practical guidance on integrating innovative digital tools and inclusive teaching strategies into foreign language education.

The session began with an introduction to the FOCUS project, its objectives, and its commitment to making foreign language learning more accessible and effective for children aged 6-12 with learning difficulties. Participants were then introduced to the project’s key educational resources, including the Digital Database, Digital Educational Games, and Online Training Programme.

A central part of the event focused on the six digital educational games developed through FOCUS, designed to support essential cognitive and language-related skills, including phonological awareness, critical thinking, decision-making, memory, and spatial orientation. Through demonstrations and practical activities, teachers explored the games’ functionalities, different difficulty levels, and accessibility features, while discussing how they could be incorporated into everyday teaching practices.

Particular attention was given to the pedagogical value of Digital Game-Based Learning and the importance of adapting activities to students’ individual learning needs. Participants were encouraged to consider how digital games can support differentiated instruction, strengthen student engagement, and create more inclusive learning environments.

The event also introduced the FOCUS Online Training Programme, a free, self-paced learning resource designed to strengthen educators’ competences in inclusive foreign language teaching. The programme covers six thematic areas, including understanding learning difficulties, foreign language teaching methodologies, collaboration with families, Digital Game-Based Learning, artificial intelligence in education, and the practical application of FOCUS educational games.

An important part of the session was dedicated to the upcoming piloting activities. Teachers received guidance on how to test the digital educational games in educational settings, participate in the online training programme, and provide structured feedback on their experiences. This process aims to support the evaluation and further improvement of the project results, ensuring their relevance, accessibility, and practical applicability.

The event concluded with a discussion and evaluation session, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and reflect on the potential of the FOCUS resources in supporting inclusive foreign language education.

Through this initiative, ETHOS HUB continued its commitment to promoting inclusive educational practices and strengthening cooperation with local educators. The participation of teachers from Chronos Tutoring Center represented an important step towards transferring the FOCUS project results into real educational settings and encouraging their wider adoption.
