It will be a question that helps you to work on the improvement of a skill – a practical action that or expresses a value that is important for you. 4 of the 8 key competences will be taken as example: learning to learn will give the frame of the process, and 3 others – cultural awareness and expression, social and civic competences, initaitive & enterpreneurship – will be areas from which you are free to choose according to your own needs and interests. Every day you will work with your learning question, assess your progress and set your daily focus in it.
