Life skills that really count in everyday life
Beyond School: The Missing Lessons is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange (KA152) in which young people aged 16 to 20 from six European countries work together on skills that are often neglected at school but are crucial in life. The focus is on life skills, mental wellbeing, communication, digital skills and financial education – complemented by environmental awareness and sustainable practices, which are taught using fun, interactive methods.
