Escola Profissional de Espinho, 3D-Print Project and Learning by Competing Project

On the 22nd of June, the Portuguese Multiplier Event of the European Project 3D-Print (https://www.3dprint-training.com/) took place, organized by CEPROF. This project is co-financed by the European Commission under the scope of the Erasmus+ programme.
The objective of the Multiplier Event was to disseminate the objectives of the project, as well as the already obtained final results, to the relevant stakeholders and interested people.

The main objective of the project consists of providing support for the educational and training challenges related to equipping the future workplace with relevant and needed skills to participate in the 3D printing revolution. This was achieved by providing entry-level, easily accessible courses, that could motivate adults with fewer qualifications.

Escola Profissional de Espinho

The presented results in the Multiplier Event were:

  • A guide on how to introduce 3D printing in adult education;
  • A training programme on 3D printing, for trainers to provide them with the needed knowledge tools to develop a teaching program on 3D printing in adult education;
  • A teaching pack that enables adult educators to learn more about 3D printing.

Escola Profissional de Espinho

The Multiplier Event counted 28 participants and was a major success.

In the end of June, OvarForma hosted the Learning by Competing (www.lbc.conform.it) Multiplier Event, together with CEPROF and APSU, the Portuguese partners of the same Erasmus+ project.

The 5 big pillars/objectives of the project were the creation and testing of innovative teaching methodologies, introducing competition in teaching and learning, developing ICT and mobility competencies, promoting perseverance and resilience, and developing soft skills and utilizing the motivational effects of robotics to excite students about science and technology.

Escola Profissional de Espinho

From these 5 pillars the project obtained the following results:

  • Four training modules on Robotics and resources;
  • A training platform;
  • Improvement in the performance of the students;
  • Improvement in the interest in foreign languages;
  • Higher motivation for mobility and interest of the other schools in the methodological approach of “Learning by Competing”.

The Multiplier Event was an important step towards the sustainability of our project!

ENNE Blended Course, what results has produced?

VETCREA is a KA2 project that started in 2022 and was submitted after the blended course of the ENNE project.

VETCREA did not let its start in Italy go unnoticed. The students from the various partner schools worked together to achieve a wonderful result that was presented to the general public on 12 May.

Together with the partner schools from Italy and Portugal, this was an unforgettable experience for the pupils and colleagues from the department’s Fashion, Multimedia, Care Hair and Design. The students and teachers worked closely together to show their expertise in Spoleto: fashion, hair care, multimedia and graphic design came up with a beautiful concept in the theme New & Eco friendley with as the final result a fantastic fashion show and as apotheosis the dress designed by the Italian fashion school. The Belgian school, with its multimedia and graphic design department, took care of the invitations and suchlike as well as the hairdo. The accessories were provided by the Portuguese partner school and they will be the host country next year. In the third year, we meet our project partners in Hasselt for a final show.
