The second transnational project meeting for our Erasmus+ project RuralPlus since the project’s kickoff has taken place at our premises at the new UCY library in September 2022.

All partner organizations participated with physical presence at two-day-long meeting in Nicosia. At the TPM, the team discussed the progress of the project which is well on track, the outcomes of the first intellectual output and the produced infographics.

During their stay in Nicosia, the partners utilized our modern recording studio to record informational videos about the various European projects as part of the project’s first intellectual output.

Our lab hosted another physical meeting about the EU funded Erasmus+ project, FARM.

The main idea of FARM is to facilitate and reinforce cross-sectorial collaboration in ARD by providing support to
ARD practitioners to scale-up their activities by integrating innovations for sustainable development of ARD. This project proposal is based on the idea of exchange of innovations in the field of ARD in order to produce maximum long term benefit for the ARD community in Europe. FARM is focusing on following priorities: fostering ARD sector through systematizing and approaching usage of ICT-DSS in ARD to target groups; developing and improving competences of current ARD professionals; improving decision making by emphasizing the vital role of ICTs to empower rural communities, improve rural livelihoods, and build sustainable agriculture and food security.

The meeting took place on 6th of September 2022 at the University of Cyprus Library at Nicosia, Cyprus.

In the meeting partners discussed about the prototypes. Future work was also a topic of discussion.

The icd4tvet project is proceeding at full speed and the VET Curricula platform has completed and ready to go for it!

The digital platform developed in the context of the project will enable the labor market actors to define their needs as they occur on the basis of ESCO, so the other stakeholders–ranging from national authorities to individual VET schools–can adapt swiftly to these needs with the creation of adequate, flexible curricula and training programs.

GTUp!

GIRLS TEAM UP!

Start: 01-11-2021

End: 31-10-2023

Project Reference: 2021-1-ES01-KA220-HED-000031153754

SEIT Research Laboratory (Software Engineering and Internet Technologies Laboratory) of the Computer Science department of the University of Cyprus participates in the GTUp! project, started in November 2021, with a duration of 24 months.

GTUp! is funded through the Erasmus + KA220-HED – Cooperation partnerships in higher education.

Girls Team Up! is an Erasmus+ project that focuses on inclusion and diversity in all areas of education, training, and sports. It addresses digital transformation through the development of digital readiness and capacity. GTUp! aims to develop a global system dedicated to training in new active methodologies in online environments. This project will also include an interactive game that improves physical, technical, and tactical skills in different sports modalities. Girls Team Up! is an interesting project so stay tuned so that you don’t miss out. #GTUp #GirlsTeamup

The partnership includes the following organizations:

FUNDACIÓN DIOCESANA DE ENSEÑANZA SANTOS MÁRTIRES DE CÓRDOBA, Spain, Coordinator
UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI NAPOLI FEDERICO II, Italy
INSTITUT DE HAUTE FORMATION AUX POLITIQUES COMMUNAUTAIRES, Belgium
University of Cyprus, Cyprus

Re-Think/Re-Act focuses on the inclusion of secondary education students with adaptation difficulties and/or behavior in classrooms due to poor training of soft skills, which, currently, supposes a real challenge for education systems, since they tend to focus their training on hard skills as a priority.

RT RA aims to develop a global model of care for students, through different results closely related to each other, so that it will provide tools to accompany those students in the search for their own talent, encouraging reflection and positive emotional reaction, which in turn leads them to redirect possible disruptive behaviors and attitudes.

The project launched with a few successful meetings already!

Keep an eye out for this project, it’s really promising!
