The collected empirical data will be interpreted from an educational and sociolological perspectives. The theoretical models of research will be worked with cooperation with the foreign researchers from Malta, Estonia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The research results will be published in at least two Q1 / Q2 peer-reviewed journals, and one volume published in an internationally recognised foreign publishing house, disseminated in interdisciplinary scientific community by giving scientific (oral) presentations in at least two high-level international conferences organised abroad, and at international scientific event organized by the Project participants.
