This past 15th of February was a remarkable day for us at the Software Engineering and Internet Technologies (SEIT) Laboratory, as we had the privilege to welcome a distinguished delegation from King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, to the University of Cyprus.

Our lab was buzzing with excitement, and we were thrilled to showcase the culmination of our hard work over the past years. The visit was a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our commitment and contributions to various EU projects throughout the years, and to share the innovative work we are currently engaged in.

We took pride in presenting three of our platforms, all of which have been supported under the EU funding schemes, namely:

BEEIN Erasmus Plus Project – A space where beekeepers can find training on important matters for bee-keeping, and other helpful material.

Rethink / React Erasmus Plus Project – An initiative designed to enhance inclusion among students through the improvement of their soft skills. Re-Think/Re-Act

Girls Team Up! Erasmus Plus Project – A project dedicated to empowering young girls in sports through teamwork and technology. Girls Team Up

We are immensely grateful for this opportunity to share our achievements.

Many thanks to everyone involved for making this event a success!

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is YOUDO.

YOUDO is a digital resource with gamified interactive materials with a socializing component that facilitates self-knowledge by reinforcing skills related to emotional intelligence. Thanks to the game and overcoming challenges, the YOUDO user reflects and re-learns skills to face daily situations in which creativity, resilience, digital skills and other soft skills necessary for more meaningful and effective learning are required.

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is RFS(Re-Thinking for Schools).

Educational centers find it difficult to detect shortcomings in meeting the needs of students, and limitations in their improvement strategies. Therefore, RFS is an ideal digital tool based on extensive analysis thanks to the capacity of collaborating partners, which will provide information to establish areas of self-diagnosis and lines of work for educational management teams and managers.

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is RAW (RE-ACT WEBSPACE).

This is a free and open training platform for educational agents, and is an essential part of the RT/RA ecosystem. Its contents can be used both formally and independently by teachers interested in SOFT SKILLS.

In our project Re-Think/Re-Act we developed 4 tools. One of them is TOGETHER app.

The TOGETHER app (2Gapp) supports the ecosystem of RT/RA results. It is the necessary piece for all the plans, training and resources of an educational organization to have the desired effect. Through this app it will be possible to follow the progress of the students in real time and alerts will be established for the personalized and synchronized attention of said students.
