eTwinning project developed by Agrupamento de Escolas de Arrifana

This school year, the Agrupamento de Escolas de Arrifana developed an eTwinning project, in the scope of the English class, with the students from the 11th year of the Vocational Course in Youth Technician.

In general, the involvement in eTwinning projects aims to promote a more appealing and stimulating teaching. By participating in these projects, students develop communication, linguistic, social (meet new people, communicating in writing, speaking in online meetings), digital (ability to handle technologies) skills, develop their knowledge about their own culture as well as other cultures, and their self-knowledge. The main goal is to develop a spirit of cooperation, interpersonal relationships, responsibility, critical thinking, creativity, among others.

The project J.O.C.A (Just One Click Away) was developed by 7 countries, Portugal, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Romania, Czech Republic and Croatia, and involved 18 teachers and 165 students. The main objective of this project was to broaden students’ knowledge, mainly of those who live in more rural areas, about the world around them – cultural and historical places, museums, monasteries, among others -, not only in their own country but also around the world, using different digital tools and virtual trips. Thus, with just one click, students were able to visit places that otherwise would not be possible. Students learned facts about the places they have studied/visited and prepared presentations for the online meetings among the various partners. It is worth mentioning that this project has as identification logo, created by a student of our team. The class participated enthusiastically in the project, which started in October 2020 and ended in May 2021.

The goal of the course is to provide guidance for successful Erasmus project proposals submission in the field of VET and it will be based on an intensive online preparatory phase and actual proposal writing.

The course will be hands-on and practical: participants will have the opportunity to finish the course with a developed proposal, almost ready to be submitted to their respective funding Agencies. Participants will acquire theoretical knowledge, and they will carry out practical work, gaining valuable experience in project proposals preparation. TOPICS ADDRESSED by the participants:

Most of the received project ideas focus on the issue of sustainability and often make explicit the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their connection with their project idea. In addition, many projects focused on social inclusion and the importance of providing quality and accessible pathways through Vocational education and Training for all. In this sense, many projects are aimed at strengthening the spectrum and quality of VET offers, in particular by fostering multidisciplinary work and transnational networks.

List of topics that emerged during the course are focused on:

  • Social Inclusion
  • Agriculture and Innovation
  • Sustainability (Tourism, Food, Agriculture…)
  • Marketing
  • Digital Competences (Communication, Graphic and Cultural Heritage) and Digitalisation
  • Multidisciplinarity (both in Sustainability, VET and Work-based learning)
  • Quality in VET
  • SDG framework

The proposals received are 28 and they are from: Belgium (N° 5), Bulgaria (N°1), Germany (N°3), Italy (N°8) and Portugal (N°11).

Aus Deutschland Ökologische Nachhaltigkeit im Projektmanagement

Wie grün ist das Management Ihres Projekts? Was berücksichtigen Sie, wenn Sie Schulungen oder Veranstaltungen organisieren? Welche Art von Marketing– und Infomaterialien verwenden Sie für Ihr Projekt? Wie reisen Sie für ein Projekt?

Mit dem Projekt „Think Twice!“, das im Rahmen des Programms Erasmus+ durchgeführt wird, möchten wir Sie dazu ermutigen, zweimal über Ihre täglichen Aktivitäten beim Management von (nicht nur) europäisch finanzierten Projekten und deren mögliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt nachzudenken.

Ergebnisse:

  • Kuratierte Fundgrube guter Praxisbeispiele in ökologisch nachhaltigem Projektmanagement. Die Fundgrube wird Sie dazu inspirieren, Lösungen in Ihrer eigenen Organisation zu finden und Ihnen genügend Informationen zur Verfügung stellen, damit Sie bewusste Entscheidungen treffen können.
  • Belastungstest für derzeitige Arbeitsabläufe verbunden mit einem individuellen Lernpfad. Basierend auf den Inhalten der Fundgrube wird ein interaktiver Stresstest „Wie grün ist das Management meines Projektes?“ entwickelt, um die ökologische Nachhaltigkeit des eigenen Projektmanagements zu testen.

Es sind 8 Organisationen aus Europa in der Partnerschaft von Think Twice!, koordiniert von der Wisamar Bildungsgesellschaft gGmbH. Bei ihren ersten Treffen waren sich die Partner einig, dass vieles an ihrer derzeitigen Praxis im Projektmanagement verbessert und umweltfreundlicher und nachhaltiger gestaltet werden könnte.

Seien Sie gespannt und werfen Sie einen zweiten Blick auf Ihre Arbeit mit https://thinktwice.management/

Francisco de Holanda, has a relevant component of its educational offer centred on VET

Francisco de Holanda Secondary School has a relevant component of its educational offer centred on Vocational Education and Training (VET), in compliance with its Educational Project that defines two very concrete and clear axes: 1) Educating for Knowledge and 2) Educating in Citizenship. 

It has invested and fostered interdisciplinary and differentiating projects, evolving teachers, students, and local community. Two examples are the Sexual Education Project andThe Rhetoric Tournament.
In the Sexual Education Project, students are invited to attend or participate actively in different activities, such as Art Exhibitions, Thematic Debates, Article Presentations, Theatre Performances, Literary Exhibitions and Tertulia, and Cinema Cycles. Among the integrating themes, we can find “Gender Equality”, “Gender Construction and Identity”, “Violence and Gender Differences”, “Sexual Order Pathologies”, and Gender Violence and Dating Violence.
The activities always take place during class time, but outside the classroom. Students are invited and welcomed in places associated with Arts and Culture in Guimarães, such as Associação Artística Vimaranense, Sociedade Martins Sarmento, Municipal Library, Centro Internacional das Artes José Guimarães (CIAJG). Over the years, it has involved experts from different fields, such as psychiatric and sexologist Pedro Morgado, from the University of Minho; human rights activists, such as João Paulo from Portugal Gay; feminist associations like UMAR; Republic Assembly Deputies, such as Joana Mortágua or Alexandra Vieira. In these new pandemic times, the project adapted to the contingencies and adopted the Open Classes and Webinars formats and Facebook Livestreams.

The other project that integrates and promotes social integration and citizenship, as well as democratic and responsible civic participation, is the Rhetoric Tournament. It is organized with the support of Associação Artística Vimaranense, an artistic and social association based in Guimarães. In this project, students are challenged to prepare and discuss fracturing social themes such as euthanasia, creation or legalization of mixed bathrooms in school and compete with each other until the big finale. All of the students, teachers and the local community are invited to attend the open sessions of the tournament.
These projects have proved to be both differentiators and facilitators of interaction among classes and among different disciplines curricula. Additionally, they promote common European values, foster social integration; enhance intercultural understanding and the creation of a common identity based on social, historical and cultural European and human values. Finally, but most important, these cross-curricular projects prevent radicalisation and lack of tolerance and human values.

SCOOPCONSS, Sustainable Cooperative Ideas: from business idea to start up

EGina – European Grants International Academy – a training agency operating in Foligno has promoted an interesting Erasmus+ project „SCoopConSS“ (Sustainable Cooperative Ideas) for several high schools in the Umbria region.

The Istituto Tecnico Economico „Feliciano Scarpellini“ joined the project with enthusiasm and acquiring its educational value in improving entrepreneurial skills in students, skills that are very much in line with the course of study and difficult to develop in a formal context and which constitute fundamental elements of the transversal competences for orientation pathway. Despite the fact that the meetings were held online, considering all the difficulties, the students of classes IV E and IVF of the Institute made a real effort to carry out this project, thanks to the constant and motivating work of tutors Prof Leonardo Rosignoli and Giovanna Rosaria Contu.
The project is also partnered by Next -Nuova Economia per tutti- an association based in Rome, which is committed to promoting and implementing a new economy: civil, more inclusive, participatory and sustainable, as opposed to the traditional profit-oriented economy that does not take into account the negative effects on the environment and people.
The aim is to develop, through the use of the Canvas Model, an innovative idea on which to create a business necessarily inspired by the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda. The students were divided into three groups that during the initial briefing shared the guidelines of the project and, through a brainstorming activity, developed several business ideas. One idea per group was selected and the best idea will be made public in May 2021. The best idea will participate in a national competition together with other Italian schools. The winning school will travel to Colfiorito for 4 days to discuss its business idea with European partners. The Egina coordinator, promoter of the project will offer all participants the opportunity to present their idea at the National Festival of Civil Economy.

Let’s Explore Our Cultural Heritage with Technology and Art

The meetings between the pupils of two first years of the secondary school of I.O. Pestalozzi (lead school) and their „colleagues“ from four schools in four European countries – Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania and Turkey – participating in the Erasmus Plus Project „Let’s Explore our Cultural Heritage with Technology and Art“ have just ended.

This KA2 project foresees four mobilities, which for obvious reasons are currently suspended, of small groups of 6 students, accompanied by 2 teachers, over a period of 24 months.

During these short virtual tours in three of the five countries involved, the first stop was „our beautiful Sicily“. The meeting was coordinated by the Headmaster, prof. ssa Elena Di Blasi, who is making internationalization one of the bulwarks of her management and teaching activities: „I started working on Erasmus Plus, together with the partner schools, in the middle of the Lockdown – says the headmistress – a year ago, despite all the concerns, I took on the coordination of the application for this project. A seed planted in the „middle of winter“ is timidly beginning to appear on the fringes of this spring: a small taste of what we all hope will once again become a real journey. Stay tuned!“

Pedagogical Restaurant

During this time of pandemic and remote teaching, good practices had to be reinvented.

The distance prevents us from smelling the smells and feel the textures, as well as tasting the flavors of the different dishes produced by the Cookery/Pastry students, which would be more complete with the harmonization of the drinks proposed by the Restaurant-Bar students.

However, thanks to the work done by the Multimedia students, the Escola Secundária de Felgueiras present the Pedagogical Restaurant.  

Teachers and students (current and former students) of the Vocational Courses of Cookery/Pastry, Restaurant-Bar and Multimedia are involved in this project.

FICA Project

DCIM100MEDIADJI_0054.JPG

The FICA project (Fight Against Absenteeism / School Dropout) began in September 2019 as way of responding to the goals of the educational project, which aims at reducing the students’ absenteeism and dropout and, consequently, increase the successful completion of the courses attended.

At the moment, FICA consists of a psychologist and four teachers from the Escola Profissional Dr. Francisco Fernandes (www.enneproject.eu/schools/instituto-para-a-qualificacao-ip-ram/) that, together with the course coordinators/mediators and the parents, try to manage deviant or risky behaviors that may compromise school success. 

With this team, trainees can find a trusting environment where they can freely share their problems, thus allowing the definition of joint strategies that seek the improvement of their school situation.
