Project Summary

The horizontal objective of the partnership called “e-plat-Forming Education” is to develop new ITC services offered to schools and local community of Municipality of Proszowice, Poland and Karditsa, Greece in the field of education. The idea is based on creating an innovative tool of multifolded e-learing platform accessible to different groups in reference to education. The idea of creating and implementing such tool is the answer to the call of modernity, digitalization and computerization of every aspect of life. It also answers the wishes and needs of teachers, parents and students who are the main subjects and the beneficiary groups of this project The project aims at creating this vast and generic tool because never before have we developed such an education – supportive device. Socially, it is important as it brings schools together creating a network of organizations, schools and libraries important for our local societies. It allowed to co-operate and exchange good practices between schools and institutions of culture on local and international levels. It has built up the atmosphere of cooperation and friendliness. Professionally, it has enlarged the database of edu – tools, teaching / learning ideas ( ELT), practical exercises and evaluation methods in unprecedented scale in our regions. It has also offeedr such innovative tools as: e-administration, e-register for schools, e-learning, online teaching with lessons recorded and uploaded on the platform: podcasts, mobile schooling and educational games and applications, useful links, online newspaper for the youth, film club, virtual walks and others. Due to our project we achieved several different goals which refer to different subjects and we want to address teachers, students, education workers, parents and other citizens of our cities. The project has greatly activated people from different groups: administrative staff of our organizations, project workers and other beneficiaries. It upgraded the competences of educational staff and subjects of education introducing new products and methods for practical educational use. Development of e-learning platform has had enormous impact on the quality of education in our respective regions. The target groups have benefited in terms of improving the level of learning / teaching, linguistic skills and entrepreneurial approach. Also the deeper cross – cultural understanding and transnational cooperation has been brought about also in terms of recognizing EU values. It triggered modernization of our teaching techniques and is successfully used after the project conclusion. In the project there were involved about 15 administrative workers of our organizations, about 70 teachers from both regions, about 3000 students directly or indirectly involved in the project activities and about 4000 parents in our respective regions who were also indirectly influenced by the project implementation. We have established very good working relationships between the institutions engaged in the learning activity, as key-decision factors. The e-platform is constantly used as it is placed on the server which is paid by our institution until 2020, also the partnership continues beyond the period of the project implementation as well as all the invented educational tools. Moreover, due to dissemination conferences not only schools but also institutions of culture like libraries and culture units offer the usage of e-platform.
