📅 On March 30, 2026, PAL Network successfully implemented the POLAR project focus group, as part of the Youth Speak Forum at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
👥 More than 25 participants took part in the activity, including students aged 14–18 and secondary education teachers and trainers. The aim of the focus group was to develop a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the challenges and their impact on the school environment.
🌍 The diversity of participants, coming from different social and educational backgrounds, significantly contributed to the generation of well-grounded findings and valuable insights regarding the real needs of both students and educators.
📊 Based on the outcomes:
• The development of a detailed report summarizing the key findings is already underway
• The results serve as the foundation for the creation of targeted educational material
• The material will include six modules (three for students and three for educators)
• It will be available in all partner languages
• It will be published on open education platforms, ensuring wide accessibility
