Platform Maker Education Europe - Waag Society

Project title Platform Maker Education Europe

Short summary of the project idea

Maker education is learning by making. It is a creative way of supporting children to become inventors, which stimulates children’s intellect, hands and hearts. Over the last couple of years, modern technologies have become cheaper and easily accessible.Today’s students and tomorrows citizens and employees will be able to use these technologies to develop and express their creativity. By connecting creativity and technology, children can construct their ideas and knowledge and develop into creative inventors and entrepreneurs. We are forming a European consortium of educators, makers and researchers that will allow schools to build maker spaces, test new curriculum and build new structures for collaboration in their region, that will allow maker education to grow locally, bottom up. Through research and experimentation we plan to further knowledge on the learning benefits of maker education and create new educational materials that teachers can use in their classes. The project will further develop and

support international networks where knowledge, content (curriculum, projects, formats) and inspiration will be shared. Teacher training will be a key step in the project. To achieve sustainable results we want to enthuse teachers and train them in maker skills and design thinking for education.

Cognition & Inclusion - vzw den achtkanter Project title Cognition & Inclusion

Short summary of your project idea (10 lines)

An inclusive society adapts the environment physically and mentally to the disabled person, taking into account the 'disabilities' . Although this is a necessary condition, it is not a sufficient one. Also, the disabled person needs to (learn to) adapt to society, as this is an ever changing environment. This second condition addresses the 'abilities' and is necessary to promote learning potential, problem solving, self regulation,,... These 'cognitive' skills are the basis for being able to be the director of one's own live, to be independent, to be a full citizen who exercisez his rights,,... (Cognitive) methodologies within learning disabled (young) adults - although effective - are not well known, or are dealing with resistances based on beliefs that learning disabled people can't develop these skills (as an element of the 'mind set' of the one who supports the disabled person). This project wants to share practices and produce a compendium with cognitive approaches (goal 1), and wants to develop a tool to assess the 'mind set' of professionals to be used in all kind of HRM-applications (selection, training, evaluation,...).

Type of partners wanted? (type of organisation and expertise)

Improving learning efficiency and effectiveness by smart design of learning pathways in higher education - PXL University College

Organisation PXL University College

Project title Improving learning efficiency and effectiveness by smart design of learning pathways in higher education

Short summary of your project idea (10 lines)

This project aims to 1) further our understanding of the potential of flexible learning pathways in distance education in higher education; 2) to explore smart design of innovative flexible learning pathways based upon these principles; and 3) share experiences and insights among the partners. We define ‘distance education’ as a way of education that at least 80% of instructional time consists of digital, work-based and/or informal learning activities. A maximum of 20% of learning happens in face-to-face activities. The ‘flexibility’ refers to learning-path independency with an emphasis on learning outcomes and (programmatic) assessment. Target audience of these programs are: working students, entrepreneurial/self-regulating students, students with special needs, students combining different programs, life-long learners in general, etc. The final goal is to improve learning efficiency and effectiveness.

Type of partners wanted? (type of organisation and expertise)

Universities or University colleges that: 1. Are located in a EU member state (other than Belgium) 2. Are already considering running pilots on the topic of flexible distance

education or have (a first experience) in this field 3. Are willing to innovate their existing programs on a short timeframe 4. Have specific expertise on at least one of these topics: flexible entry

procedures, assessment of prior knowledge and skills, flexible learning tracks, open education, rewarding informal learning activities, coaching, e-coaching, instructional design, blended learning, (programmatic) assessment, open badges, work-based learning, work-based coaching, portfolio’s

Developing new training approaches for people with mental disorders

Organisation INFREP

Project title Developing new training approaches for people with mental disorders

Short summary of the project idea

Vocational training centers often host learners with mental disorders which are not enough serious to be recognized as a mental disability but can still affect trainees’ ability to integrate a group of trainees and follow a training course. These problems can be very different: depression, addiction, concentration disorders, anxiety, phobias, and so on. Sometimes, this kind of mental disorders can seriously hinder the outcome of the training and of course, the trainee’s professional development. Detecting and evaluating them can be very difficult, especially when the trainee refuses to recognize to have a problem or openly opposes the trainer. Some trainers do not have enough knowledge or experience to cope with these situations; therefore, they are not always able to offer the best assistance and support to this kind of public. How to proceed then? Without transforming the trainer in a psychologist or psychiatric, the issue is to enhance collaborations with people/organisations working in the field of mental health in order to:

1. Detect these problems 2. Find out the proper way to approach the person in pain 3. Build up a training path adapted to the person, shared with the trainee,

while finding the best way to integrate him/her in the training group 4. Guarantee them a qualitative follow-up 5. Raise awareness among companies and help them to better host these

people This project could be implemented in the framework of a European consortium made up of partners who deal with the same issue, in order to share experiences, approaches and find out innovative solutions.

Capacity building in sustainable tourism opportunities in protected areas - Hasselt University

Organisation Hasselt University – Transportation Research Institute (IMOB) – Centre for Travel & Tourism Research

Project title Capacity building in sustainable tourism opportunities in protected areas (working title)

Short summary of the project idea

The premise of this proposal is to provide an exciting and innovative vocational training programme for protected areas staff and associated stakeholders across Europe. If not managed properly, tourism and recreation can impact negatively on both the natural environment and local communities. Although ‘sustainable tourism’ is now recognised as the prevalent model for managing tourism in protected areas, this is not a subject area familiar to many of the individuals on whom we rely to look after our protected areas. This project will develop the skills and competences of individuals working in and around Europe’s protected areas by providing access to high quality vocational training in sustainable tourism development. The project will offer blended learning opportunities by combining face-to-face training (in selected locations around Europe) with online learning via a MOOC. Tutorials and workshops led by experts from across Europe will compliment peer learning through the exchanging of ideas and best practices.

Type of partners wanted? (type of organisation and expertise)

We are looking for both academic and non-academic partners from across Europe who can assist in the design and delivery of the training curriculum. We are particularly seeking partners with expertise/examples of best practice in:

• (Sustainable) tourism within protected areas, including visitor management techniques in sensitive areas; interpretation (i.e. communicating the area to visitors); conservation volunteering

• Marketing & communicating ‘sustainability’ • Environmental management & monitoring for SMEs (e.g. reducing energy

usage/renewable energy (buildings), carbon emission, waste & pollution reduction

• Sustainable construction • Sense of place/local distinctiveness • Stakeholder engagement/community outreach

Experimental digilab - University of Jyväskylä

Organisation University of Jyväskylä

Project title Experimental Digilab

Short summary of the project idea

The most important denominator for the work in the future is diverse, wide-ranging and continuous learning that has changed from individual learning to collaborative actions, and taking advantage of even more strongly a variety of ICT applications and services. In the future, we are not working in one place only. Therefore, the necessary entities, applications and data has to be available everywhere. There is need for a network-based sharing and collaborating services, where work is done genuinely and interactively together. Also, learning in the future is more and more related to workplaces and provided in online. There for, educational organizations have to provide more effective and more diverse learning opportunities and methods. We are already seeing the need for a new kind of multi-sectoral know-how, combined with expertise in the ICT as well as some other field of substance. Know-how and expertise in various fields has to be combined to create new kinds of skills through networking. Experts in various fields just have to be found and brought together. Goals of the Experimental digilab project is to 1) develop models for collaborative work based on practical experiments in online environments; models that can be utilized in the future work and also in formal education. In addition, the aim of the project is to 2) model the new types of skill profiles, as well as to design educational models to enable these kind of new profiles. The project aims for development of service innovations in cooperation with educational institutions and companies. Collaboration in the development of digitalisation and information work between business life, higher education and vocational education creates better conditions for the emergence of new knowledge and skills. At best, Experimental digilab can act as a breeding ground for innovation and create new international business opportunities

School prevention of Salafist attitudes - State Institute of School Development, Stuttgart Organisation State Institute of School Development, Stuttgart

Project title School prevention of Salafist attitudes

Short summary of the project idea

The State Institute for School Development Stuttgart (“Landesinstitut für Schulentwicklung”) is currently working on a project on the prevention of Salafist indoctrination of students. The project is carried out in cooperation with the State Institute for Political Education (“Landeszentrale für politische Bildung”) and examines the question as to how educators can contribute to the prevention of antidemocratic views as well as attitudes of group-focused enmity. A council of experts from various backgrounds (e.g. scholars of Islamic Studies, extremist prevention experts etc.) takes also part in the project. In August 2016 a handbook for teachers was published which gives an introduction to the complex field of school prevention of Salafist attitudes (available for download under www.ls-bw.de). The project team is currently collecting good-practice examples from schools and seeks to develop lesson units and study material so that students can analyze and discuss these topics in class (subjects: political science, history, religious studies, ethics/philosophy). Our project aims at building a European network of institutions involved in the prevention of the development of Salafist attitudes among young people. Our approach is holistic and based on the concept of universal prevention, which focuses on creating an atmosphere of belonging for all, social and cultural inclusion, intercultural and interreligious learning, antiracist school development and a close cooperation between schools with other institutions in the community. Through a cross-European cooperation and an exchange of experience, expertise

and good-practice examples the participating partners can learn from and inspire each other and gain a European perspective on the topic. In the course of the project innovative prevention concepts for schools and support and care networks for school communities should be developed together. Study material that allows the discussion of violent extremism with learners should be also developed as well as guidelines that help create a school climate that is inclusive and conducive to respectful dialogue, open discussion and critical thinking

2016) Do 30. oktobra Evropska komisija zbira predloge projektov, ki spodbujajo ljudi, da izboljšajo svoje digitalne spretnosti. Nagrado za evropske digitalne spretnosti 2016 (European Digital Skills Award 2016) lahko pričakujejo partnerji v projektih, ki lahko spodbudijo druge, da bodo izvedli podobne ukrepe povsod po Evropi. Napredek, dosežen s projekti, mora biti merljiv, drugi temeljni pogoj pa je, da je ukrepe mogoče izvesti kjerkoli v Evropi in v katerem koli sektorju. Nagrado lahko dobijo partnerji projektov ne glede na to, kje so jih izvedli oziroma jih izvajajo in ne glede na tip organizacij, ki so vključene. Na voljo so nagrade v štirih kategorijah. Prva je digitalne spretnosti za vse, druga je digitalne spretnosti za delovno silo. Tretja nagrada je za več in bolje usposobljene izvedence za informacijsko-komunikacijsko tehnologijo v Evropi in peta za digitalne spretnosti v izobraževanju. Projekte je mogoče prijaviti z izpolnitvijo obrazca, ki je na voljo na spletu. Strokovna žirija bo pri ocenjevanju upoštevala vpliv, ki ga je dosegel posamezni projekt, sinergije med vpletenimi različnimi deležniki, možnost za reproduciranje in učinkovitost projekta.

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/apply-now-new-european-digital-skills-award-2016 Projekt Fluidglass – okno lahko postane tudi ogrevalna in hladilna naprava na sončno energijo

Partnerji v evropskem projektu Fluidglass razvijajo inovativno rešitev, ki bi omogočila, da bi lahko uporabljali sončno energijo s pomočjo oken. Iščejo rešitev, da bi okna v prihodnosti lahko uporabili za ogrevanje in hlajenje prostorov. Rešitev vidijo v tem, da bi oknom, ki so zdaj narejena iz dveh ali treh plasti stekla, dodali dodatni plasti, ki bi bila tekočina. Plasti tekočine bi dodali na notranji in zunanji strani. Dodatna plast na zunanji strani okna bi bila namenjena sončnim žarkom, vsebovala bi nanodelce, ki bi vpijali sončno energijo in filtrirali svetlobo. Notranja plast, ki je lahko hladna ali topla glede na potrebe, bi zagotavljala toploto ali hlajenje, da bi v prostoru temperatura bila ustrezna za delo in bivanje. Vodo bi v ti dve novi plasti dodajali s kroženjem, zato bi temperaturo sproti prilagajali. Okno, ki je videti kot običajno okno, lahko postane zbiralec sončne energije, če bodo raziskovalci projekta Fluidglass našli želeno rešitev. Projekt so začeli izvajati septembra 2013 in se izteče avgusta 2017.

Razpis v okviru Instrumenta za povezovanje Evrope – CEF za financiranje ključne prometne

infrastrukture v EU Evropska komisija je objavila razpis za zbiranje predlogov projektov v okviru Instrumenta za povezovanje Evrope (Connecting Europe Facility - CEF) za financiranje ključne prometne infrastrukture v EU. Na voljo je 1,9 milijarde evrov, od tega je 1,1 milijarde evrov rezerviranih za 15 držav članic, ki so upravičene do sredstev iz Kohezijskega sklada. Med temi džavami je tudi Slovenija. Tokrat bo prvič 40 milijonov evrov namenjenih tudi infrastrukturnim projektom, ki EU povezujejo s sosednjimi državami. Informativni dan o razpisu bo 25. Oktobra v Bruslju. Evropska komisija pojasnjuje, da je tudi pri letošnjem razpisu poudarek na inovativnem prometu, kar pomeni, da išče inovativne projekte, ki bodo omogočli izboljšanje promene varnosti in bolj zeleni transport, izboljšanje učinkovitosti transporta ter čezmejne povezave. Prvič pa je na voljo denar (110 milijonov evrov) za manjše čezmejne projekte, katerih namen je povezovanje regij. Rok za oddajo projektov je 7. februar 2017. Kateri projekti bodo izbrani, bo znano poleti 2017. Na podlagi razpisa, ki je bil objavljen leta 2014, je bilo izbranih 263 projektov, za katere EU prek Intrumenta CEF prispeva 12,8 milijarde evrov. Na podlagi lanskega razpisa je bilo izbranih 195 projektov, za katere bo EU prek instrumenta CEF prispevala 6,7 milijarde evrov. Koristne informacije:

Projekt Open-Bio kot primer, kako je projekte mogoče povezovati in nadgrajevati Raziskovalci v okviru evropskega projekta Open-Bio so razvili metode in definicije, na podlagi katerih bo mogoče določiti standarde, ki bodo kupcem omogočili, da bodo lažje prišli do informacij, kaj pomeni, da je izdelek biološko razgradljiv, da ga je mogoče reciklirati, v kolikšenm delu je narejen iz biomase. Raziskava, ki so jo naredili v šestih državah, je pokazala, da si ljudje zelo različno predstavljajo, kaj pomeni trditev, da je določen izdelek biološki, okolju prijazen ali ga je mogoče kompostirati. Projekt Open-Bio je nadgradnja prejšnjega projekta, katerega cilj je bil razviti standardizirane metode za testiranje bioloških izdelkov. Open-Bio je te standarde nadgradil in preizkusil še nekaj novih. Izvajalci projekta so razvili tudi bazo podatkov za javno naročanje. To bazo bodo nadgradili z novim projektom InnProBio, ki so ga začeli izvajati marca 2015. Standardizirane metode za testiranje bioloških izdelkov pa bodo nadgradili z novim projektom Star4BBI, ki so ga začeli izvajati septembra 2016. Pri tem projektu se ne bodo osredotočili na končni izdelek, ampak na posamezne faze izdelave. Koristne informacije:

Poročilo o rezultatih naložb EU v okviru kohezijske politike v obdobju 2007-2013

Evropska komisija je objavila rezultate ocene naložb EU v okviru kohezijske politike v obdobju 2007–2013 skupaj s poročili za posamezne države članice. Ocenjevalci ugotavljajo, da je bilo 11 odstotkov ali skoraj 29 milijard evrov sredstev Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) za obdobje 2007–2013 porabljenih za projekte razvoja mest in socialne infrastrukture. V oceni je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi bilo učinek naložb EU na tem področju mogoče povečati z oblikovanjem celostnih strategij za prenovo mest in socialne projekte z večjo udeležbo lokalnih deležnikov in upravičencev skladov. Slovenija je v obdobju 2007–2013 iz Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj in Kohezijskega sklada prejela 3,3 milijarde evrov sredstev, ki so bila porabljena zlasti za naložbe na področju raziskav in inovacij, okolja ter prometa in infrastrukture. S podporo EU je bilo ustvarjenih 5.900 novih delovnih mest, od tega 890 v turizmu. 73.000 ljudi je dobilo dostop doširokopasovne povezave, financirani pa so bili 504 raziskovalni projekti. Zgrajenih je bilo 60 kilometrov novih cest, obnovljenih pa za 90 kilometrov železnic. Na okoljskem področju je Slovenija zmanjšala izpuste toplogrednih plinov za 56.000 ton.
