The Mindfulness/mental health course was really good. Our course leader Dario was fantastic and well educated. Got a lot of tools to use at home. Yoga-teacher Nikola was so pleasant and encouraging. Good organisation and loads of courses in different places. I hope I get the opportunity to attend another.

It’s been a great experience for me and my classmate, we made lots of friends and learnt a few good tools that we can use in our lessons. The teachers were great and we had a really good time there. Highly recommended.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Learn the basics of coding and transfer that knowledge to your students

This Erasmus+ KA1 course will help you develop your critical, creative and computational thinking. Coding and programming are key growth areas in the 2020s. They are expected to expand even further with the advancement of new technologies. That’s why it is important and useful to understand the basics of the intricate workings of computers and their programmes. In addition to creating your own content, you will also learn how to transfer it to your classroom and engage your students.

Encourage playful learning in classroom with the help of digital tool Scratch

Our experienced Erasmus teacher trainers will teach you how to use Scratch, the worlds largest community for coding with easy and intuitive graphic user interface (GUI). You will be able to create your own digital stories, coupled with animations and even games in no time. This free tool is used worldwide and available in over 70 languages making it the perfect entry point to coding for people of all ages. You will learn about the basic terms such as variables, loops and conditionals. Above all, you will use learned knowledge in popular programming language, Python. We will also teach you how to create your first algorithm from scratch using the knowledge and computer logic you’ve learnt from Scratch.

Develop practical skills and hands-on approach in a creative way 

To sum up, this Erasmus course focuses mostly on developing practical and problem-solving skills. The course is covering just enough theoretical knowledge about the basics of coding and programming. By the end of this course, you will know how to creatively engage your students in the classroom, but, most importantly, provide them with a great start for their future digital endeavors.
