VETDesign: Kick-off in Schwerin

On 29.10.2024, the representatives of the five partner organisations of the new Erasmus+ project VETDesign met for the first time in Schwerin.

After getting to know each other, we immediately got down to work: the first tasks were discussed and a timetable for the entire 24-month project was agreed.

The first project workshop involved intensive discussions and valuable personal experience with the elements of design thinking.

All participants were impressed by the constructive and committed atmosphere of the meeting and are now motivated to get down to the actual work. Our extensive work programme also includes the involvement of vocational schools from the participating countries. One of the highlights will be the three-day seminar for vocational school teachers in Greece in spring 2026, where our project results will be communicated and tested in practice.

DIGISCHOOL: Final project meeting in Florence

In autumnal Florence, the project partners of the DIGISCHOOL project met on 19.10.2023 for a final meeting. The last steps in this project were discussed, but mainly it was about a review and evaluation of the things that have been worked on together since January 2022.

These include case studies on the use of digital tools in vocational school teaching, a very extensive collection of tools and platforms that can be used well, videos to present possible uses, and a digital platform that bundles all these results and offers teachers the opportunity to test and purposefully expand their knowledge in this area.

Finally, in a very creative brainstorming session, we collected ideas for a possible follow-up project.
