The pilot testing of project BLITT in Greece was organised by IDEC S.A. and took place on January 29th, 2024 in the organization’s headquarters. The workshop was attended by 11 participant trainers working in the field of adult education.
The workshop started with a brief outline of the agenda and an introduction about the overall
objectives of project BLITT.
After, an overview of the bridging course and the results from the LTTA activity that took place
in Piraeus was presented, as well as the benefits of blended learning to both teachers and
