We talk about 8 key-competences, basic and soft skills, (Communication in the mother tongue, Communication in foreign languages; Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology; Digital competence; Learning to learn; Social and civic competences; Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship; and Cultural awareness and expression): not only they can discover and empower all or some of these (and more), but can also assess these through reflection and evaluation tools in order to get awareness of themselves and improving the limits. Another thing they gain is the attitude to participate because they experiment freedom of expression and that no-judgement attitude all around. This facilitates their learning process and makes them feel able to “take the floor”. In these activities participants can gain a lot of support and motivation, and can experiment the power of cooperation, cooperative problem solving and group support. We work a lot on this: one of our missions is to build a different environment, where developing authentic human relationships cooperation, peace, awareness, learning and participation! ….Don’t forget why our name is Agrado !! 63
