    Visit to the local companies to see and meet workers of different services in order to draw out a first skeleton of what a company must be.

    3rd Teachers Workshop: Drafting of a common work plan in which the project activities are established in time, respecting the timetable and the
    LTTAs's topics.

    The teachers are going to give particular emphasis, in the choice of activities, to those in which students can use knowledge and skills learned at school to solve problems similar to those that they have to face in everyday life, in extracurricular contexts and throughout their lives. Teachers will evaluate students ' achievements not only as cognitive outcomes, but also any other outcome such as students ' attitudes and learning strategies.

    Therefore they will draw up a scheme criteria as indicators of the hard and soft skills and to measure the effectiveness of scheduled activities for each meeting in relation to the objectives.
    The scheme will then be the instrument for a final evaluation of both the results obtained by the students and the quality of the best practices identified. The best practices will be included in the " A cross- curricular approach to financial education Ebook” along with the joint teachers’ judgement of the results achieved by the students.
