In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is YOUDO.

YOUDO is a digital resource with gamified interactive materials with a socializing component that facilitates self-knowledge by reinforcing skills related to emotional intelligence. Thanks to the game and overcoming challenges, the YOUDO user reflects and re-learns skills to face daily situations in which creativity, resilience, digital skills and other soft skills necessary for more meaningful and effective learning are required.

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is RFS(Re-Thinking for Schools).

Educational centers find it difficult to detect shortcomings in meeting the needs of students, and limitations in their improvement strategies. Therefore, RFS is an ideal digital tool based on extensive analysis thanks to the capacity of collaborating partners, which will provide information to establish areas of self-diagnosis and lines of work for educational management teams and managers. Check the platform here: https://rethinkreact.eu/RFS/

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is RAW (RE-ACT WEBSPACE).

This is a free and open training platform for educational agents, and is an essential part of the RT/RA ecosystem. Its contents can be used both formally and independently by teachers interested in SOFT SKILLS.

Check the RAW platform here: https://rethinkreact.eu/RAW/

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is TOGETHER app.

The TOGETHER app (2Gapp) supports the ecosystem of RT/RA results. It is the necessary piece for all the plans, training and resources of an educational organization to have the desired effect. Through this app it will be possible to follow the progress of the students in real time and alerts will be established for the personalized and synchronized attention of said students.
