ThinkSafe Project Newsletter #3
Your Update on Progress, Participation, and What’s Next
The Learning, Teaching, and Training Activity (LTTA) of the ThinkSafe project took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, from January 20th to 21st, 2025. Hosted by the 1st Vocational Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary School of Eastern Thessaloniki, the LTTA brought together educators, students with disabilities, and project partners from Italy, Poland, and Greece.
During this two-day event, participants engaged in pilot training sessions using the newly developed ThinkSafe training materials and digital stories modules. The sessions emphasized digital literacy, critical thinking, and online safety, providing hands-on activities and collaborative workshops. Educators and students worked together to test and refine the resources, ensuring their accessibility and effectiveness for diverse learning needs. The LTTA also fostered cross-cultural exchange, allowing attendees to share experiences, best practices, and feedback that will directly inform the final adaptation of the project’s educational tools.
This activity marked a significant step in the project’s action plan, supporting the empowerment of students with disabilities to navigate the digital world safely and critically
