The online conference will bring together ITE institutions from several countries in Europe to help them include eTwinning in their teacher education activities. The aim is to introduce teacher educators and student teachers to the full eTwinning experience so that they can benefit from being part of an international and professional community.

The event will provide teacher educators and student teachers with an opportunity to experiment with technological and pedagogical innovations, reflect on their practices and enhance their competences through eTwinning. Furthermore, the European ITE Award Ceremony will also take place on the first day, where the initial teacher education institution of the year will be recognised and presented an award.

The first day of the event will be streamed and is open to everyone.

If you are a member of an ITE institution, a teacher educator, student teacher or a researcher and you are interested in learning about the benefits of including eTwinning in your educational activities, join the live stream!

You can find more information on the event website.

Social Hackathon di EPALE: costruire insieme un futuro educativo sostenibile

https://epale.ec.europa.eu/it/resource-centre/content/social-hackathon-di-epale-costruire-insieme-un-futuro-educativo-sostenibile

L’Edu Hack di Epale, documentato in questo lavoro nelle sue due edizioni, è un’iniziativa di grande valore che mette in luce aspetti e pratiche dell’innovazione nel settore dell’istruzione degli adulti promossi nel nostro Paese e in sintonia con le priorità europee.

Un Social Educational Hackathon come l’Epale Edu Hack rappresenta infatti un’opportunità unica per sfruttare il potenziale educativo e innovativo delle comunità, delle tecnologie e della collaborazione per affrontare sfide nell’ambito di tutti i gradi dell’istruzione, non solo in quella degli adulti.

(Prefazione di Cristina Griego, Presidente di Indire)

La presente pubblicazione, disponibile in formato cartaceo e digitale, approfondisce il modello educativo del social hackathon di EPALE sotto molteplici prospettive proponendolo come metodologia didattica attiva e collaborativa applicabile ad ogni ordine di scuola. 

Il lavoro è frutto di una collaborazione tra l’Unità Nazionale Epale, Maria Chiara Pettenati, dirigente di ricerca Indire, Isabel de Maurissens, ricercatrice Indire, e il Movimento di Avanguardie educative, progetto di ricerca-azione Indire nato con l’obiettivo di investigare le possibili strategie di propagazione e messa a sistema dell’innovazione nella scuola italiana. 

A questa collaborazione si aggiunge il prezioso contributo della Rete di scopo nazionale ITC IdAdella RIDAP e di Altheo Valentini, Ambasciatore Erasmus per il settore Educazione degli adulti. 

Il nostro ringraziamento va a tutti i docenti dei CPIA e ai loro studenti che, con le loro diversità di età, lingua e cultura, hanno reso il social hackathon di Epale un’esperienza viva, vera e di grande valore. A loro dedichiamo questa pubblicazione.

Attrattività e consapevolezza delle opportunità Erasmus+, partecipa all’indagine dell’Agenzia nazionale INDIRE

A cura di Lorenzo Mentuccia

L’Agenzia Erasmus+ INDIRE sta conducendo un’indagine sull’attrattività del Programma europeo e il grado di conoscenza delle opportunità che Erasmus+ offre alle organizzazioni e alle persone.

L’obiettivo è quello di sondare il livello di conoscenza del programma Erasmus+, rilevare motivazioni ed eventuali ostacoli che possano limitare la partecipazione di coloro che non hanno ancora fatto un’esperienza di mobilità o di cooperazione all’estero.

Questa consultazione pubblica rientra nell’ambito delle attività di valutazione previste ai sensi dell’articolo 24, comma 3, del Regolamento (UE) 2021/817 che istituisce il Programma.

Chiunque può partecipare e il questionario richiede pochi minuti per la compilazione.

La consultazione rimarrà aperta fino al 15 novembre 2023.
