This is a project closely knit with the local community, as it intends not only to involve stakeholders and Associated partners, but also to have an impact in local contexts.

In Portugal, the regional dissemination initiative, presentation of the Project All-in Ed in the context of the theme “PADDE: digitalization project in Portuguese schools.” took place at Centro de Formação de Escolas da Beira Interior. The project was presented to headteachers and PADDE teams of the neighbouring municipalities of Covilhã, Manteigas, Belmonte e Fundão. In the context of Curriculum development and assessment; teaching practices; use of digital educational resources, the Principal of the school AE Lã e a Neve presented the All-in Ed project, as a means of promoting engaging practices to develop the curriculum and assess better practices, as vehicles of avoiding early-school leaving.

In Germany, especially in the region of the partner’s school, various schools, organisations, interested parties and stakeholders are in regular contact. This is the reliable way to spread and disseminate the cause and the result of the project. Vocational aid institutions, distinct youth welfare office of the Vulkaneifel, the vocational school of the Vulkaneifel district and our school organise regular campaigns to support students, to find a job – to avoid school dropout and to prevent early school leaving, complying with the All.in Ed project’s aims.
In Austria the team was able to impress upon a private school in Vienna, MS und PTS Sankt Marien, which was inspired by the All-in Ed project. The headmaster was also very helpful with the programme for the 2nd Transnational Meeting in Bad Vöslau, by offering a guided tour of the school and providing the facilities for the final team meeting in Vienna. On the occasion, contacts were established to promote new Erasmus endeavours between the Al-in Ed partners and a local teacher, who will be assigned as new Erasmus Coordinator.
