Project description:

The objectives of the EAST project are the following:

• Promote high quality entrepreneurship and self-employment over Europe,
• Define a profile of entrepreneur with associated knowledge, skills and competences,
• Develop a proposal for the application of ECVET system to non-formal and informal entrepreneurial education, with the definition of a Europass and learning pathway that fits to the learning outcomes system,
• Set up recommendations for the application of ECVET in continuous learning in partners’ countries,
• Establish and promote methods of e-learning and app-learning, as well as the use of OER thanks to an online platform,
• Promote mobility in adult learning and contribute to the European Area of Skills and Qualifications.

Target group:

The main target groups are unemployed people, women and men, including migrants and people at risk of social exclusion, that are seeking for new opportunities in the changing labour market of the post-crisis era. They lack preparation to reach an entrepreneurial profile, and are lost among a large offer of training without clear awareness of their training needs and possible pathways. No age limit is applicable; however, EAST expects to target people aged 30-49 with a medium or long work experience, which consists of the largest block of active population potentially interested in self-employment.

Project description:

The main objective of the project is:

• Extend and develop Non-IT subjects teachers competences needed for effective teaching in Industry 4.0 context;
• Support the implementation of Industry 4.0 didactic possibilities in primary and secondary schools programs.
• Strength the capacity of Non-IT subjects teachers to develop pupils’ critical thinking and creativity through integration of innovative approaches into teaching process.

In the course of the project, the project partners will develop two intellectual outputs:

1. Enchiridion 4.0 for Non-IT subjects teachers
2. 0 Lesson scenario video set

Teacher 4.0 demonstrates significant innovation, if compared to the previous projects, as it is designed for the new target group, non-IT subjects teachers, developing an innovative training course and guidance in terms of awareness and the ability to use Industry 4.0 possibilities in teaching. Teacher4.0 focuses on raising awareness and knowledge of this new concept and developing related skills.

In the course of the project, the project partners will develop two intellectual outputs:

1. M-learning courses for Andragogs entitled “Industry 4.0 in teaching low-skilled adults”
2. Video guidance for Andragogs entitled “How to implement Industry 4.0 in teaching low-skilled adults effectively?”

The above listed results address the following concepts of Industry 4.0:

• Internet of things, in the context of pedagogical use in adult teaching.
• Additive manufacturing, as an object of adult didactics.
• Augmented reality, as a real alternative to analog didactic materials.
• Robotics, which does not have to be difficult.
• Cybersecurity, as basic necessity of every learning process.
• Cloud computing, as the future for managing and storing data.
• Artificial Intelligence, which can gear up education and future prospects.
