The third transnational project meeting took place in Athens, Greece, on the 16th and 17th of April 2015. The meeting started with a presentation of the new company in the partnership, TTC which replaced Oake. After a formal presentation, the partners moved to discussion outcomes of Workpackage 3. There were some doubts regarding the level of extraction in relation to the learning outcomes, especially in the second level of qualifications. SeaTeach was called via Skype (they were unable to attend) and the discussion continued.
During a survey, which was designed to provide a deeper analysis of issues addressed by the BADGE project (Business Advice and Guidance training for women Entrepreneurs. Project funded by the European Commission, as a part of Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of Innovation programme), 150 respondents were asked about their income. The group included both women entrepreneurs (53 respondents) and women who do not plan starting their business (91 respondents). The average income of the women who do not plan becoming entrepreneurs was more than 2600zł lower than the average income of women entrepreneurs (Table 1).
On Monday the 13.4.2015 a workshop was held in Warsaw focusing on the use of ECVET in Life Long Learning.
