The REACT project was an educational innovation and research project based on project-based learning principles, involving international and local collaboration between learners for the development of transversal competences. Various schools and educational institutes from six European countries participated in piloting the approach and integrating principles such as trust, relevance, self-guidance, challenge, creativity, and collaboration in the educational activities. There were successful and less successful pilots (12 in total), but the outcomes were analyzed and provided a rich picture of contextual and pedagogical elements that influence the successful implementation of such an approach and how to address disengaged youth and provide them with the confidence and tools to enable self-directed and engaged learning.
