Educational Robotics to Support Inclusive Education in Primary Schools

https://robots4inclusion.eu/

Our project aims to include self-built educational robots within social activities that promote social interaction and, at the same time, competences in informatics and technology. In this robotics project, we will teach the participating children to understand and apply simple principles of informatics and technology. We want them to use their competences to solve real-life problems. Furthermore, we aim to strengthen cooperation and show young people what potential they have.

Project goals

• Promote inclusion and diversity in primary education.
• Mastering the digital transformation by developing digital,
  informatic and technical skills and technical competences.
• Promoting interest and competence in science, technology and engineering

TLN Mobilicat is a professional internship program that offers the opportunity to have a real work experience in another European country, within the chosen sector. Participants will design and plan a personalized professional itinerary and will be able to develop personal and professional skills and abilities that will improve their access options to the labour market.

The specific objectives are to:

1. Develop the capacity of educators, trainers, integration advisers in the six partner countries by exchanging good practices through the promotion of skills acquired in mobility, with the involvement of companies in mobility and through their support for the public after their Erasmus + experience, or any other international experience.
2. Reinforce the skills, training and mentoring competencies of adult educators, trainers, social counselors and tutors to boost vocational and social inclusion of their public, by developing a Guide of Good Practices.
3. Improve adult learners access to the labor market by enhancing and capitalizing on their new soft, vocational, intercultural, language skills, acquired during their mobility. By meeting other learners and organizations who are involved in the field of mentoring NEET and jobseekers.
4. Raise awareness of the labor market, the companies involved, international experience, the benefits and to promote the Erasmus+ program to the business world. 5- Create a network of professionals in the field of formal and non-formal education who work with this target group and/or on Erasmus + mobility. These objectives match with the priorities published by the 2021 Program Guide with, the priority to promote an even more inclusive Erasmus +.

‘Against the Fake World’ project which focuses on the issue of Fake News and Media Literacy in young people aged 14-18 years old.

Throughout the project we will conduct the following activities:

• Initial desk research on Fake News and the current regulations and policies throughout Europe

• Survey students and teachers relating to their exposure to Fake News

• Conduct student focus group sessions

• Interview key stakeholders in the education systems

• Produce a final report outlining our key findings from the project

The problem of wellbeing has been recently brought to the forefront of the agenda for improving quality of VET in Europe. There is a growing recognition that for teaching and learning to be effective, students should have high levels of wellbeing (OECD, 2018). The latest research, however, proves that students’ wellbeing is an issue of concern.

The StayWell project  aims to develop an innovative, web learning approach for advancing and sustaining VET learners’ wellbeing and mental health through the acquisition of social-emotional skills that would help them study effectively, master their life and enter the job market.

CORAL is a pan-European educational pathway. It takes inspiration from the Recommendation “A new skills agenda for Europe” (COM 2016 – 381 Final) which urges to up-skill and re-skill the European labour force with new skills, in order to allow them in self-employment and support adults to acquire a minimum level of key competences and/or acquire a broader set of skills necessary to progress towards an upper secondary qualification or equivalent.

The main objectives of the project are to strength the consortium partnership and to promote long-term mobility under the current program Erasmus+ for apprentices. The consortia aims to establish an online platform where the work placements opportunities and the support offered by the involved partners (consortia partners, companies, schools, and supporting organizations) are described. Recent VET graduates can apply for the work placements.

During the implementation of the action the partners will identify obstacles concerning long term mobility, will test possible solutions and will collect them in a report to the Commission.

This report aims to cover all stages of the mobility period with findings regarding:
– strategies to integrate mobility schemes in the daily work of the VET-schools incl.
implementation of existing) short-term-mobility
– strategies to inform companies about the possibility to get qualified and motivated staff through mobility schemes
– strategies to inform and to train the hosting companies (especially SME) in order to support their interns in the most successful way
– development of a plan to inform and select participants
– preparation plan (for apprentices, schools, companies) before departure
– the language support: combination between the Online Linguistic Support (OLS) and a presence language course
– the development of a practicable and detailed learning agreement, where realistic learning outcomes will be stated
– practical arrangements (visa, insurances, travel, accommodation, intercultural support etc.)
– supporting offers in the receiving country: additional trainings, monitoring and evaluation actions
– mentoring plan for the interns
– mentoring for the companies
– coaching plan for ongoing support post mobility period

Mobiliteach International Trainings address teachers and school staff, educators and trainers from all over Europe to support their continuous professional development.

Mobiliteach Trainings have been conceived with an innovative approach. They are based on experiential activities, practitioners’ peer to peer learning and exchange of good practices, so that all participants will actively participate in all the sessions. Moreover Mobiliteach will allow participants to meet people working in the educational field from all over Europe and to enlarge their networks.

Participants will go back home with new working tools, with a deeper understanding of other educational systems, with a clearer vision of the differences existing in Europe and with a new challenge: to bring innovation into their daily work and within their schools!

The main objective of the project is to develop, an innovative training module, which has been tested within the project, is to be described, which offers the learner the opportunity to acquire basic and cross-competencies in their professional field at the European level together with learners from other schools/universities.

This project provides the description of the training module, which is then accepted by the partners as a regular offer in the schools / universities and also offered to other associations of educational partners to be used.
By combining the training module with the offer of a mobility experience for learners (they can either participate in the training module in their own institution or with one of the project partners), they acquire both professional qualifications and access to the basic skills of a pedagogical education., which have been described by the Commission in the “Program for Lifelong Learning”.

The project will also create a room for the exchange of good practices in Early Years Education, encouraging the participation of both students and teachers in the activities, especially in blended mobilities and short staff training events.

Trans-national coordination is ensured through three transnational meetings, where decisions for the ongoing work will be made. Berlin-Kultur e.V. has the role of the overall coordination and collecting all materials and documents.

The project partners will actively take part in the valorisation of the project’s results: organise local multiplier events, uploade information to relevant websites and share the results and knowledge with relevant parties.

With the VET learning mobility programme of Erasmus+ a great number of young trainees between 18 and 25 get the chance to live and work for several weeks in another European country. The mobility experience awakes their enthusiasm for the country they are visiting as well as for meeting other European trainees. On the one hand the stay abroad usually focuses on learning outcomes related to a formal training context. On the other hand it is also a very eye-opening and once-in-a-lifetime, true European experience where social and personal skills can be improved a lot informally.

The project idea Skills#EU starts here by using the existing enthusiasm of the trainees who are participating in the VET mobility programme and who are a new target group in youth work with great potential. We intent to enhance their European experience by equipping them with the skills necessary to:
– motivate them as active European citizens and increase their EU-awareness
– improve key competences as future European employees
– encourage them to get involved in voluntary activities
– fulfil their educational potential in the field of social and civic competences.

VET towards ECVET is an European project, developed under Erasmus+ Programme. It covers the consideration of ECVET in training related to tourism, with a particular focus on 2 sectors : hotel receptionist and seller in touristic areas. This project involves French, Northern Irish, German, Portuguese and Italian partners that will cooperate to implement a certifying mobility of 45 days in order to validate learning units. The project answers the needs in both sectors to prove mastery of a foreign language and cross-cultural approach to deal with customers appropriately.
