Designing the Future

<< Background >>In this unpredictable world, the pandemic become a great chance to remember and get aware of the skills that students need, such as decision-making, digital literacy/readiness, creative problem solving, critical thinking and perhaps, above all, ability to adapt. As an applicant partner, we wanted to reshape and enriched our teaching and learning process through richen our digital literacy/readiness, coding and 3D printer implementations at international level. Our desire and needs were common with our partner countries.We all need to;-enhance our 21 st century skills,-gain lifelong skills,-enrich the curricula,-reshaping strategies and techniques in teaching-learning process,-raise qualified generations for future employment,-add EU value and quality to our organizations,-increase academic success,-having smart growth,-developing creativity, communication and team-work skills,-exchanging good samples in digital literacy/readiness, coding and 3D implementation at international level,-serving 2021-2027 EU targets in education,-producing various educational materials to integrate our curricula,-make awareness to digital literacy-readiness in education.<< Objectives >>To expand awareness of all kinds of personal, professional, general skills in all partner organizations and technology professionals working in the field of information to improve their level of knowledge. Professional trainings with the support of our university and training centre partners' professional experts and the acquisition of high quality technology skills and competencies. Enriching the participants' teaching practices and expanding the diffusion network. Increase the level of knowledge and skills on digital literacy/readiness with coding and 3D printer implementations on children age of 12-16. Involving national and international projects with coding and 3D printer productions. Producing creative and innovative ideas/implementations with coding and 3D printer. Providing visibility of our organizations at local, regional and international phase. Creating various educational materials and our production result of the project. pupils exchange, enhancing students’ digital literacy, meeting innovative implementations and classroom atmosphere, improving language skills, creativity, communication, problem solving skills and collaboration also self esteem, self efficacy and self respect. << Implementation >>Set up social media accounts (locally and at the European level)Selection of participants based on a clear and transparent procedure (students, teachers, trainers)Set up the implementation plan (activities, strategies, instruments, responsible, terms, budget)Set up the dissemination plan (activities, strategies, instruments, responsible, terms, budget)Set up the monitoring plan (activities, strategies, instruments, responsible, terms, budget)Set up the risk management plan (activities, strategies, instruments, responsible, terms, budget)Three online transnational meetings were held to plan, trace and discuss all project activities, deadlines, duties, dissemination activities, impacts, results of the activities.Three short-term joint staff training events (total 48 teachers) trained the project partner countries involved in the project in order to enrich their knowledge and experience in digital literacy/readiness, coding and 3D printer practices. - Contest for project logo (between students from all partners)Two short term pupils exchange (on the total 16 students and 12 accompanying teachers) and shared good samples and implementations of projects and gaining new knowledge and experiences. Disseminating activities after LTTAs and virtual meetings such as workshops, seminars, meetings, online webinars at local and national level to the target groups and stakeholders of the project. Created our production resultArranged Multiplier Event (applicant country only) to introduce project activities, impacts, results, production result, e book and EU funding projects at national and local level.Workshops to other school teachers, students, parents and the local community for sharing our products, experiences and knowledge.Seminars for teachers, parents, students, and local authorities in local/national about project activities and the results of the project and also the present intellectual outputs of the project.<< Results >>Encouraged team-work, communication, collaboration, creativity and using technology for productivity,Developed students’ perspectives on how to solve problems with digital tools, use them fruitfully for innovative ideas/projects, planning their future careers for future employment.Created educational materials in LTTAs.Raised awareness to digital literacy/readiness, coding 3D printer usage in education to teachers, students, parents, curriculum providers, local community, NGOs, Ministry of Education, universities.Gained cross cultural integration, EU value and citizenshipLearnt more about formal and informal educationIncreased visibility of each partner organization at local, national and international levelCreated production result, e book, and educational materialsThe production result included an educational computer program based on the programming language of Scratch and Tinkercad that is a good sample for everybody who deals with in this field
