The project will create a toolbox of methods and guidelines, several e-modules, two e-courses and three MOOCs for teachers, pedagogy students, university staff and social workers. The project partners are the University of Tartu (Lead Partner), Central European University, Hradec Králové University and Warsaw School of Economics (SGH).
