LEAGUE

The next major steps in the LEAGUE project are the organisation of international and national trainings as well as the further development of technical tools, such as the chatbot and the Internet platform. In order to achieve these short-term goals, significant measures have been taken that can be seen as the result of increased cooperation between all project partners.

This section provides a precise overview of the most recent project activities. These include:

• Dissemination and evaluation of questionnaires: For the improvement of the project’s technical tools and their adaption to the needs of the respective target groups, questionnaires have been handed out to boys between 10 and 18 years old. These actions were taken in all countries, where the project partners operate, meaning that SYNYO was also involved.
• External evaluator: The LEAGUE consortium is supported by an external evaluator, who reviews the project performance and progress regularly. In July, shortly before the project’s summer break, all partners had to compose a summary of their results and achievements obtained within the first six months. In the monthly consortium meeting, which took place again in September, the feedback of the evaluator was overall positive.
• Glossary: For the dissemination and social media activities, a LEAGUE glossary has been designed by one of the project partners. After the review and consent of all project partners, the glossary was sent to SYNYO, which is in charge of the project’s dissemination and exploitation campaigns. The glossary itself includes terms, which have an explanatory function and should bring the topic closer to the followers of LEAGUE’s social media channels. The glossary is designed for every target group.
• Training material: For the organisation and conduction of the national and international training, adequate material is needed. This task was taken over by the responsible partner and disseminated to all consortium members for reviewing and commenting on it. The final comments that were incorporated will be redirected to SYNYO, for the further design of the layout and the insertion of relevant graphs.
• National/international training: An approximate date was fixed for the first international training, which will be organised in Vienna and hosted by SYNYO. The next months will be dedicated to the distribution of information about the training over the project’s social media channels, the collection of relevant participants from various organisations in the whole of Europe and organisational tasks. Therefore, strengthened cooperation between all partners is a necessity. The national training, on the other hand, will be organised by every partner individually.
