Since autumn 2016, we have been coordinating an international project partnership called "TAKE ME OUT". His intention was to introduce an outdoor approach to kindergartens and preschools in order to enable children to spend as much time as possible outside, and out of classrooms. As part of the project, together with other partners in the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic, as well as partners from the UK, Estonia and Denmark, we created methodological materials, a training programme, and motivational activities, which are freely available here.

In the years 2017-2019, we participated in the implementation of the NTC for ALL project, aimed at supporting the functional thinking of children and developing their brain potential.

Methodical materials and more detailed information about the benefits of the NTC programme, intended for kindergartens, but also for parents of children, can be found on the project's website.

In 2018, we were invited to partner with a project managed by Birdlife Malta. The project contributes to changing the content and forms of teaching in kindergartens and primary schools in Malta, using an outdoor approach. The Ministry of Education from Malta, schools from Spain, Malta, Great Britain and Slovakia and other institutions were also involved in the partnership. INAK's task was to digitize the materials created in the project and organize training for teachers, combining an outdoor approach with the support of ICT skills. The outputs of the project are part of these pages. (LINK: https://owleducation.org/teach-inspire-and-protect/)

Since spring 2021, we have been working with partners from Italy, Finland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia on the STEP IN international project focused on the creation of digital materials for secondary vocational schools in the field of Machining, Hydraulics and Pneumatics and Logistics, with the aim of facilitating teaching for teachers and students, especially during distance learning. We are currently preparing short vocational videos and online tests that will help with the teaching of specific topics at a time when students will not be able to participate in practical classes or workshops.
