Implementation period: 01.12.2016 – 31.05.2019
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2016-1-PL01-KA202-026055

Project description:

Inclusive entrepreneurship is a concept of inclusion of disadvantaged social groups on labour market, such as women, minorities or people with physical disability (PWD). This inclusion is based on the use of competences and skills of those people to help them reach their goals, mostly business, among others – to start their own business.

Inclusive entrepreneurship is the opposite of social exclusion, hence the great importance of projects supporting the development of this concept.
The main aim of WOT project was to promote inclusive entrepreneurship, with respect to PWD, by developing a methodology based on job shadowing, mentoring and coaching. The project was dedicated for PWD willing to become entrepreneurs or freelancers, as well as for entrepreneurs and freelancers without a disability who could act as mentors.

Project aims were to:

  1. Develop the guide in the field of inclusive entrepreneurship development for mentors of PWD,
  2. Prepare the e-learning course for mentors of PWD,
  3. Develop the guide in the field of developing own business for PWD,
  4. Prepare the e-learning course for PWD in this field.

WaterWorldAdventure – Interactive eBook to improve the Ocean Literacy of Kids

Implementation period: 01.10.2016 – 30.09.2018
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2016-1-EL01-KA201-023456

Project description:

The main goal of this project was to create and make available online to educators, an educational interactive ebook – WaterWorldAdventure.

This eBook helped to improve the Ocean Literacy of pre-school children (3-6 years old). The eBook was developed considering:

  • 7 Essential Principles and the Fundamental Concepts of the Ocean Literacy Framework, developed by the National Marine Educators Association in the US, and is the world reference in this area;
  • Good practices of storytelling and interactive stories, specifically for this age group; thus guaranteeing the robustness of the pedagogical approach and ensuring the alignment with the end users needs (teachers and parents).

Along with the interactive story, a Facilitator’s Guide for teachers and parents was developed. This Guide contributed to the full use of the WaterWorldAdventure eBook by proposing: an overall approach to the use of the eBook; a set of complementary discussion topics/questions to help teachers/parents exploring specific concepts, behaviors, attitudes; a set of complementary activities to help strengthening the learning experience, including simple games, colouring activities or project ideas.
