NEWSLETTER #5 - DROP’IN How can you use DROP’IN results? The DROP’IN project (Erasmus + - KA2: Strategic Partnership | School) aimed at preventing Early School Leaving by building on the relationship between teachers and pupils introducing non-formal education methods within a formal system, such as schools, with the aim of motivating students and making them protagonists in their learning process.
After 36 months, DROP’IN has come to an end. During the project lifetime, NGOs, associations and schools have worked together to introduce non-formal education benefits in several formal contexts, improving the quality of teaching of teachers and the motivation of students.
