𝗞𝟮𝗪 𝗠𝗶𝗱-𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀

A productive first day of the K2W Mid-Term Progress Meeting at Harokopio University of Athens.

Partners came together to review the progress achieved so far, exchange experiences and ideas, and align on the priorities for the months ahead.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗲:

• Reviewed the project's progress, milestones, reporting and upcoming deadlines
• Discussed the findings from the Research and Needs Analysis and how they support the next stages of the project
• Explored the SkillsBox platform, including a live demonstration and updates on its development
• Presented the learning modules and materials developed by the project partners
• Exchanged feedback and ideas to further improve the project's outputs

For Vere Montis, one of the key moments of the day was our session on 𝗗𝟯.𝟮 – 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗠𝗘𝘀.

As the partner leading this activity, Vere Montis presented the consolidated feedback from the consortium, facilitated the discussion of the remaining comments, and coordinated the agreement on the final steps towards completing the Guidebook. This collaborative process is essential to ensuring that the final output reflects the knowledge and experience of the whole partnership.

The day closed with a clear set of decisions and action points, strengthening our shared direction as we move forward.

A great day of collaboration, knowledge sharing and progress — and we are looking forward to Day 2.

Što nas zapravo pokreće? Teorija samoodređenja kaže: autonomija, kompetencija i povezanost — tri stvari bez kojih motivacija brzo posustaje.

Kao partneri na DevelopMens projektu, ovo je nešto o čemu redovito razmišljamo kad radimo s mladima.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼, 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼?

That tiny difference is basically the whole idea behind 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 — one of psychology's most tested frameworks on what actually drives us. According to it, humans thrive when three needs are met: 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 (having a say), 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (feeling capable), and 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 (feeling connected to others). Miss those, and even a reward-stacked task starts to feel like a chore.

Here's the twist though: research shows that offering people a reward for something they already enjoyed doing can actually 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 their motivation for it — a phenomenon researchers call the 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭. The joy gets swapped out for the paycheck, and once the paycheck stops, so does the motivation.

𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 👇
Think of one thing you do purely "because you have to." Now ask: is there any small piece of it you could choose differently — the order, the method, the timing? Reclaiming even 10% of the choice tends to change how the whole task feels.

💬 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮: What's something you do that feels completely 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 choice — no one's making you, you just want to? Tell us in the comments, we're curious. 🙂

Understanding what really drives us is at the heart of the DevelopMens project — helping young people build self-awareness and the everyday skills that shape how they learn, work, and grow. 🌱

Rujan je startao aktivno – dva važna partnerska sastanka, isti dan. Kao partner na Erasmus+ Sport projektu Green Slopes, danas smo sumirali ljetne Nature Clinics održane u Hrvatskoj, Srbiji i Grčkoj te krenuli s pripremama za završni sastanak u Srbiji. Projekt educira novu generaciju ski-touring i planinarskih vodiča o sigurnosti i očuvanju prirode – Hrvatska, primjerice, još uvijek nema nacionalni savez za ski touring, a Green Slopes je jedan od malih koraka k tome da se to promijeni.

🏔️ Nature Clinics wrap, next stop: Serbia

Today's online Green Slopes catch-up brought together HPD Platak, Planinarski klub Tara, VERDE, and Vere Montis to look back at a busy summer: Nature Clinics ran across Croatia, Serbia and Greece, training a new generation of ski mountaineering and hiking guides in safety, Leave No Trace principles, and how to actually read a mountain before you lead someone into it.

Here's the part worth knowing: Croatia still doesn't have a national ski mountaineering association. Green Slopes exists partly to change that — building the clubs, the guides, and the know-how the sport is still missing, while a documentary crew has been quietly filming the clinics all summer for a film meant to carry that message further than any of us can alone.

Next up: partners head to Tara's home turf in Serbia for the project's closing meeting, pulling the summer's clinics, guidelines, and roundtable findings from three countries into one shared result.

Small partnership, three countries, one mountain range's worth of lessons.

Kao partner na Erasmus+ Sport projektu TechBall, danas smo sudjelovali na online sastanku partnera gdje smo dogovarali organizaciju međunarodne radionice u Srbiji, početkom listopada 2026. Projekt na zanimljiv način spaja košarkaški trening s digitalnim alatima Srbijanskog e-sport saveza – edukacija trenera na sasvim nov način.

🏀💻 From Rijeka to Serbia: when basketball meets e-sports

Today the TechBall partnership got together online — Basketball Association of the City of Rijeka, Basketball Club Janče, the Serbian E-sports Federation, and Vere Montis — to plan the project's next chapter, and it's not one you'd expect from a "sports" project.

TechBall pairs grassroots basketball coaching with the Serbian E-sports Federation's know-how in digital platforms, building a Digital Coaching Educational Toolkit that treats coach education less like a manual and more like something a coach would actually want to open. Basketball clubs and an e-sports federation, sitting at the same table — that's the whole point.

Today's call locked in the next milestone: an international workshop in Serbia at the beginning of October 2026, where the toolkit moves off partner calls and into a room with real coaches for the first time.

Small partnership, cross-border team, one idea worth betting on: sport meets code.

🎧 Kratki test: slušaš li zaista sugovornika ili samo čekaš svoj red za govor?

Zanimljiva činjenica: većina ljudi zapamti samo 𝟐𝟓–𝟓𝟎 % onoga što čuje u razgovoru – i to odmah nakon što razgovor završi.

Zašto? Naš mozak može obraditi oko 𝟒𝟎𝟎–𝟓𝟎𝟎 riječi u minuti, dok prosječna osoba govori svega 𝟏𝟐𝟓–𝟏𝟓𝟎 riječi u minuti. Taj "višak vremena" često iskoristimo za razmišljanje o vlastitom odgovoru, procjenjivanje sugovornika ili lutanje mislima, umjesto da stvarno slušamo.

👇 Isprobaj ovo već danas:
U sljedećem razgovoru pokušaj barem jednu minutu ne planirati što ćeš reći. Samo slušaj. Obrati pažnju na to kako se razgovor mijenja i koliko se druga osoba lakše otvara.

💬 𝐀 𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐞 𝐳𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐛𝐞:
Po čemu odmah prepoznaš da te netko zapravo ne sluša? Pogledava mobitel? Prekida te? Dovršava tvoje rečenice? Podijeli svoje iskustvo u komentarima.

🎤 Ako želiš saznati više, preporučujemo TED govor "𝟏𝟎 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" autorice Celeste Headlee – praktičan, duhovit i pun korisnih savjeta za bolje razgovore.

Aktivno slušanje jedna je od ključnih mekih vještina koje razvijamo kroz projekt DevelopMens. Cilj nam je pomoći mladima da usvoje svakodnevne vještine koje se često ne uče u školi, a važne su u svim područjima života. 🌱

Upravo takve nastaju u Tradition in Motion Erasmus+ projektu.
Dok mnogi skrolaju, mi vraćamo nešto opipljivo u ruke djece i odgajatelja, kartice s tradicionalnim igrama koje će uskoro biti dio svakodnevice u vrtićima u Hrvatskoj i Grčkoj.

𝙎𝙫𝙖𝙠𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖 𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙞:
✏️ jasna, jednostavna pravila igre
🧠 razvojnu korist (motorika? suradnja? snalaženje u prostoru?)
♿ prilagodbe za različite sposobnosti djece
📱 QR kod koji vodi ravno do video demonstracije igre

Cilj? Da odgajatelji imaju u ruci alat koji ne traži pripremu od sat vremena — samo kartica, malo prostora i djeca spremna za pokret.

Igre koje su nekad igrali naši djedovi i bake u dvorištu, sada dobivaju novi život — i prenose se na sljedeću generaciju uz malu digitalnu pomoć.

Pratite nas — uskoro stižu prve kartice na testiranje! 👀

That's exactly what's taking shape in the Tradition in Motion Erasmus+ Project.
While screens keep pulling attention away, we're putting something tangible back into the hands of children and educators — traditional game activity cards that will soon be part of everyday life in kindergartens across Croatia and Greece. 🇭🇷🇬🇷

𝙀𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨:
✏️ clear, simple game instructions
🧠 the developmental benefit (motor skills? teamwork? spatial awareness?)
♿ adaptations for different abilities
📱 a QR code linking straight to a video demonstration

The goal? To give educators a tool that doesn't need an hour of prep — just a card, a little space, and kids ready to move.
Games our grandparents once played in the yard are getting a new life — passed on to the next generation with a little digital help. 🎯
Stay tuned — the first cards are heading into testing soon! 👀

ENTI GAMES – online sastanak partnera projekta

Danas smo održali online sastanak Erasmus+ projekta ENTI GAMES, tijekom kojeg smo napravili pregled svih aktivnosti i postignutih rezultata u proteklom razdoblju.

Posebnu pažnju posvetili smo uspješno provedenom Traditional Sports and Games Week (TSG Week) koji se održao tijekom svibnja. Partneri su podijelili iskustva, predstavljene su provedene aktivnosti te smo razgovarali o pripremi izvještaja i prikupljanju svih potrebnih rezultata i materijala.

Osim osvrtanja na dosadašnji rad, fokusirali smo se i na predstojeće zadatke koje je potrebno dovršiti u narednim mjesecima kako bismo uspješno priveli projekt kraju.

Dio sastanka bio je posvećen organizaciji završnog partnerskog sastanka, koji će se početkom listopada održati u Rijeci, gdje ćemo okupiti sve projektne partnere, predstaviti završne rezultate projekta i planirati završne aktivnosti diseminacije.

Hvala svim partnerima na konstruktivnim raspravama, predanosti i izvrsnoj suradnji tijekom cijelog projekta. Veselimo se završnoj fazi projekta i skorom susretu u Rijeci.
