Digital Mentor Power- DMP

Digital Mentor Power- DMP

Implementation period: 01.03.2021 – 28.02.2023
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2020-1-TR01-KA226-VET-098418

Project description:

38% of the current Teachers workforce are over 50 years and are less condifent and more fearful of using Digital tools (Eurostat, 2020). Graduate teachers want more and better training to face the social challenges and inexperience they are confronted with. Collaborative School culture is the solution! (Eurodyce,2020). Therefore, need for the digitalization of the education system is a EU-Wide fact (Index of Readiness for Digital Lifelong Learning). The Digital Mentor Power Project aims to improve the learning process in EU schools by enhancing the digital skills and competences of European Teachers through the development of the Digital Mentor Power Platform! This goal will be reached by:
1) identifying teachers who are skilled in a range of digital skills and different digital tools. We call these, Digital Mentors.
2) identifying teachers who need digital training. In return, these teachers will support their often-unexperienced colleagues with resources and advice regarding pedagogical methods. We call these, Pedagogical Experts

Target Group:

  • Teachers
  • Learners

Project’s Results:

Digital Mentor Power Platform- an innovative tool that will enable experienced teachers (Pedagogical Experts – PE) to learn technological competencies and find new ways to tailor technology to their specific subject by exchanging knowledge in a “peer learning” concept with novel teachers (Digital Mentors-DM) who are skilled in a range of digital skills. In return, PE who receive the digital training, will support their DM with resources and advice regarding pedagogical methods. The DMP platform will be a place where both DM and PE can register, meet and pair up and will also contain a rich database of digital tools and pedagogical advice where PE will be able to select and receive an Individual Master Class from their paired Mentor and vice-versa.

Follow-us – NEETs as Social Media Managers for SMEs

Follow-us – NEETs as Social Media Managers for SMEs

Implementation period: 01.11.2021 – 01.05.2024
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-VET-000034691

Project description:

The projects’ main objective is to use the existing digital and personal skills of NEETs to inspire, motivate and re-integrate them with innovative training-tools, services and methods to develop their skills as Social Media Managers and connect them to SMEs who need their services. By following this win-win strategy, these vulnerable youth will find a future career
while becoming positive members of society, and SMEs will be able to request and use online content for the digital and financial improvement of the organisation. This will be achieved through a holistic approach by a multi-skilled team, which through counselling, mentoring, training, and follow-up will guide them to new opportunities. This approach also involves
finding a way to address the main issues NEETs are facing, which are social exclusion, disconnection from groups, and demotivation to become again part of the active society. These innovations and actions will combat unemployment of NEETs as they will directly increase their participation in education and training, and support them to find sustainable
work which can also easily be carried out remotely.

Target Group:

  • NEETSs
  • Trainers
  • Socio Inclusion workers
  • SMEs

Project’s Results:

  • R1: The Follow-us Training Programme for NEETs- an innovative full educational plan aimed at training, motivating, and re-activating NEETs by using Social Media as core content. This unprecedented programme of 125 hours will be tailor-made for the projects’ target groups and will enable them to become Community Managers who offer their services to Small and Medium enterprises
  • R2: The Trainer UpSkill course– This online course based on the NEETs Programme, will train and educate Socio Inclusion workers in a new and effective manner to become knowledgeable and successful trainers of the Follow-us Training programme for NEETs. The Trainer UpSkill Course will be designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skill to the Follow-us trainers in a convenient way: It will be structured in form of Modules and contain subjects of Social Media, Digital Marketing, Key Competence training methods and Employment & Entrepreneurship support
  • R3: The Follow-us Platform– a Web and Mobile Platform, that will allow, on the one hand, SMEs to request free social media services in form of one-off jobs, and on the other hand, young people to offer these services by applying what they have learned in “The Follow-us Programme for NEETs”, with the objective to obtain a Community Manager certificate after successfully completing 10 one-off jobs (traineeship). The app will furthermore enable students to gain experience, create a network of contacts, and increase employability. Trainers will also have their place in the App by interacting with students to answer possible questions or difficult situations that may appear

STAND UP: Fighting cyberbullying by identifying it in the VET classroom

STAND UP: Fighting cyberbullying by identifying it in the VET classroom

Implementation period: 01.02.2022 – 01.02.2024
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-VET-000034210

Project description:

STAND UP is a project focused on the fight against cyberbullying in VET, especially in IVET and middle VET. Cyberbullying is usually focused and studied only in primary and compulsory secondary education. Most of the available studies and materials are focused on students under sixteen years old corresponding to compulsory education, as is the case of Save the Children or Unicef studies. However, VET students, who are usually positioned between 16-24 years old, are not normally the subject of such studies, although if we look at the percentages of the 2017 Unicef study it is clear that bullying goes up as age goes up (there were 14% of participants victims of cyberbullying under 14 years old, and 15% under 16), from which it can be derived that students between 16 and 20 years old still need tools to help them in this area. And even more importantly, teachers, trainers and workers in VET centers who are in contact with these students need tools to know how to manage cyberbullying crises. In this context, the need that STAND UP seeks to fill is the lack of training given explicitly to VET teachers, as well as content designed for VET students. Not only that, it also seeks to give a tool that provides support to teachers, who in many cases have already denounced the danger they see in cyberbullying, and how it is increasing due to the widespread use of mobile phones among adolescents and young people. At the same time, the aim is to provide a tool to help students who suffer from cyberbullying, through a mobile application that allows quick access to regional or national contact information, and that provides tools to raise awareness among students about the importance of the fight against cyberbullying.

Target groups:

  • VET Teachers
  • Educators
  • VET and middle VET professionals
  • VET students

Project results:

  • R1 – Creation of a training specifically designed for VET trainers on how to detect and fight cyberbullying in the classroom, with content specifically designed for potential confinement situations and online education. The teacher training will be supported by practical content that helps teachers understand how to act in each potential situation, and how to promote a trusting classroom environment that helps potential victims of cyberbullying to come forward and seek help.
  • R2 – Creation of training designed specifically for students, in the form of visual and clear content to encourage students to pay attention and understand the information contained. The training will provide the student with information on how to act in the event of cyberbullying, as well as behavioural tools for those students who believe they are witnessing cyberbullying. The content of this training will be summarized in visual posters that will be shared on the project’s Instagram, to bring such content closer to the students.
  • R3 – Creation of a mobile application in which both the training content for teachers and the content for VET students will be available. The mobile application will also contain a database with contacts at regional, national and European level, a repository of useful resources available in the European Union (such as complementary applications, articles, reports…), and lists of factors that may denote a case of cyberbullying, to serve as a behavioural map in case of doubts of cyberbullying in the classroom.
