Activities for implementation

During the 28 months of the project’s implementation, the partners will carry out 4 Intellectual Outputs together with the management and implementation phases. During these IOs, there will be many activities, such as studies, researches, development of world@words system, translations (En/Gr/En, En/Bg/En, En/Sp/En, En/Be/En), various activities regarding dissemination & use of world@words and pilots in 6 EU countries.

Methodology to be used in carrying out the project:

The methodology is based on research, testing and validation of the whole system.

The long-term benefits are to:

• enable more people to study and/or work abroad, and improve their job prospects;
• help people from different cultures understand one another - essential in a multilingual, multicultural Europe;
• trade effectively across Europe, businesses need multilingual staff and
• promote entrepreneurial mind-sets to enhance employability prospects of youth, and other groups of youth i.e NEETs, students
• the language industry – translation and interpretation, language teaching, language technologies, etc. – is among the fastest growing areas of the economy.

Thus, our project will contribute to the improve achievement in basic and transversal competences (entrepreneurship and 2nd language / Business English) in lifelong learning through non-formal education provision.
