On 16 October 2025, the partners of the WePlay Project held their first transnational meeting in Santander, Spain, marking the official start of the project’s collaborative work.
The meeting brought together the project partners: Estela Cántabra, Universidad de Deusto, Vytautas Magnus University, Roscommon Leader Partnership and Istituto Comprensivo di Bobbio. This first meeting was an important opportunity to establish a common vision for the project and to define the main priorities for the coming months.
During the session, the partners reviewed the overall objectives of WePlay, a European educational gamification platform designed to help teachers and students create, play and share gamified learning experiences. The discussion focused on how the platform will support innovation, collaboration and inclusive learning, with special attention to rural schools and educational communities across Europe.
One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the agreement on the project calendar and work plan. The partners defined the main phases of implementation, the responsibilities of each organisation and the coordination mechanisms that will guide the project throughout its development.
The meeting also served to strengthen cooperation among the partners and to ensure that all organisations share a clear understanding of the project’s methodology, expected results and future activities.
This first meeting in Santander represents an important milestone for WePlay and lays the foundations for the next stages of the project, including the development of the platform, the design of gamified educational experiences and the preparation of pilot activities with schools in different European countries.
