About Engaging Minds
Engaging Minds is an Erasmus+ project focused on strengthening student engagement in European secondary education. Our goal is to understand the drivers behind disengagement and early school leaving – and to co-create actionable solutions that support teachers and students in everyday practice.
The project is coordinated by Campus Vejle (Denmark) in partnership with:
Learnovate Centre (Ireland)
University of Gävle / Högskolan i Gävle (Sweden)
Tampere University (Finland)
Together, we bring research, innovation, and classroom experience into a unified effort to improve student well-being and learning outcomes.
Target Groups
- Teachers and school leaders
- Student support staff
- Teacher training institutions

- Students themselves
Objectives
- Investigate why students disengage – Through interviews, surveys, and school-based research across partner institutions.
- Identify best practices that support motivation, belonging, and persistence in school.
- Create practical tools for educators – including guidelines, training sessions, and classroom-ready resources.
- Strengthen European collaboration by sharing methods and experiences across national contexts.
