On 12th February 2020 Know and Can travelled to one of its favourite destinations – the magnificent and colourful city of Porto, Portugal! The reason was to take part in the kick-off meeting of its brand new project – UP2B Boosting Up School Education towards European Citizenship and Labour Market Inclusion which was organised on 13th and 14th February 2020. We were very glad to meet again some of our oldest and most reliable partners and to meet some new ones as well.

These resources will ensure motivation, coaching and support habits building and will be a source of open educational resource which will lead the nonexperienced educators through the habits building and personal growth for their students so they can overcome the barriers faced while gaining new knowledge, experience and skills.

On January 30 and 31, 2020, the first meeting of the C-Game project - a career guidance game in a city full of opportunities, was held at the Czech Technical University building in the Department of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics.
The project has set itself the ambitious task, in the form of a game, to familiarize students in the 12-14 year age range with possiblities for further education, with a view to, and in the distant future, professional realization. This is the most vulnerable student group being on a crossroad of choices where, on the one hand primary education ends and the possibilities for continuation are different - language, vocational high schools, on the other hand, sometimes the wrong influences of the environment, friends and parents.
