Project Summary

The changes triggered by globalization and technology presents a series of important challenges to educational institutions, facing the necessity to introduce new learning processes in order to prepare future professionals and citizens. To respond to the challenge however, schools need to adopt new methods, approaches and organization structures in order to be able to improve the quality of education and give young people the specific technological, cognitive, interpersonal, and intra personal competencies to succeed in the 21st century. In this context, the main objectives of the project are:
1. Improve the skills and competences of teachers, learners and families through a complete 21st century skills training pack, encompassing digital, social, emotional, personal and cultural competences, thus increasing the quality of teaching approaches and methodologies.
2. promote opening of education through the creation and implementation of open source digital learning environments, thus promoting life-long learning, flexibility, innovation and creativity in educational approaches
3. Stimulate the acquisition of new, participatory school governance models through bringing together public administration, schools, professionals, families and enterprises, as well as through developing and implementing training approaches for school leaders and administrators in governance and change management.
The direct target groups of the project are teachers, school leaders/administrators and families while the indirect target groups are students, local stakeholders, businesses, authorities and society as a whole.
The most important results to be expected during the project and on its completion are the following:
1. 21st Century Skills for Educators Training Kit,
2. 21st Century Skills for Parents and Families training Kit
3. 21st Century Skills for School Leadership and Management training Kit
4. 21st Century Schools e-learning platform
5. A training event for teachers and school leaders will be also implemented in order to directly train target group representatives from one side, and to allow us to test, evaluate and improve the methodology with regards to the results achieved during the trainings, and the participants feedback.
6. Six months long local Participatory School governance programmes will also be carried out, in order to ensure the implementation of the project outputs in school environment during the lifetime of the project.
The project will involve over 500 schools and 4000 teachers, students, administators and family members through the project activities.
The improvement of the digital, management and governance, social and cultural skills of the involved participants will lead to increase in quality, innovation, cooperation and openeness in both educational methodologies and governance and management approaches.
