One of the most important implementation steps in the CAGEA project is the piloting of the developed results with teachers and students. Once the platform is completed, partners organise pilot tests with the target groups so that the project outputs can be used, assessed, and improved in real educational contexts.

The piloting process is designed in a structured way. Teachers participating in the pilot receive an explanatory document detailing the objectives and expected timeframe of the activity. In addition, questionnaires are prepared in Google Forms to collect feedback from both teachers and students on the developed project results. This ensures that the testing phase is not informal, but guided by clear objectives and supported by practical feedback tools.

The scale of the piloting is also notable. The project foresees that 15 teachers and career counsellors from the participating countries will test the Teacher Training Manual, the Learning Nuggets Pack, and the CAGEA online educational platform. At the same time, 450 secondary school students will test the educational platform and provide their feedback. This broad participation helps ensure that the evaluation reflects a range of user experiences and educational contexts.

Piloting is especially valuable because it allows the project to gather direct input from the people for whom the results have been created. Teachers and counsellors can assess the relevance, clarity, and usability of the resources, while students can share their experience of the platform and its activities. This helps the partnership better understand whether the developed tools are meaningful, accessible, and engaging in practice.

In this sense, piloting is much more than a testing exercise. It is a crucial part of the quality assurance process and a way of ensuring that the final project results are genuinely responsive to the needs of schools, teachers, and students. Through this phase, CAGEA strengthens its potential for long-term educational impact.
