Why It Matters
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, the ability to adapt, innovate, and work collaboratively is more important than ever. The Boost21 Project is designed to give Thames British School students a competitive edge by fostering the skills they need to succeed in both their academic journeys and future careers.
Join Us on the Journey
Whether you are a student, parent, educator, or partner, your role in this journey is invaluable. Together, we can shape a future where Thames British School students lead with creativity, confidence, and competence in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
As part of our commitment to making a wider impact, the Boost21 Project includes a comprehensive dissemination plan, which is a key requirement of all Erasmus+ projects. Dissemination involves actively sharing the results, resources, and outcomes of the project with a broader audience, ensuring that the knowledge we generate benefits the wider community beyond our school. Through seminars, publications, online platforms, and social media, we aim to engage schools, educational bodies, and policy-makers at local, national, and European levels.
A key feature of this effort is our digital gamification platform, which will be open-source, allowing educators and institutions around the world to access it freely. By making this platform available to everyone, we are ensuring that the innovative teaching methods and resources developed during the Boost21 Project are accessible and beneficial to students and educators globally.
