Project Title: AI Navigators: Empowering Teachers for the AI Era

Project Number: KA220-SCH-7C1CB3AA

Duration of project: 24 months (01/10/2024 – 30/09/2026)

Project languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English.

Description of project:

The AI Navigators project is designed to empower educators across Europe by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the educational system. The project focuses on enhancing AI literacy among 120 teachers from five partner countries: North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Belgium. In a rapidly changing technological landscape, the project seeks to bridge the gap between AI advancements and classroom practices, ensuring that teachers are equipped to use AI tools effectively and innovatively.

A core objective of the AI Navigators project is to train 20 teachers to become AI Navigators—leaders who will guide and mentor their peers in the use of AI in education. These AI Navigators will undergo specialized training, after which they will work closely with 100 pilot teachers selected for the AI integration program. The pilot phase will be implemented in classrooms across the five countries, allowing educators to test, refine, and implement AI-based teaching methods.

The project will develop a comprehensive AI competence model that outlines the skills and knowledge required for educators to use AI effectively. In addition, various e-learning materials, including at least 12 instructional videos, will be produced. These resources will support teachers in adapting AI to enhance both teaching and learning processes, making classrooms more innovative and future-ready.

A series of activities are planned to disseminate the project’s outcomes, including informational meetings, social media campaigns, and a final international conference in Skopje. This dissemination strategy aims to extend the project’s impact beyond the participating schools, reaching a broader audience within the educational community across Europe.

The project is expected to generate long-lasting benefits by fostering a network of educators proficient in AI, creating AI-integrated lesson plans, and positively shifting attitudes toward AI in education. By the end of the project, participating teachers will have developed a toolkit of resources that they can continue to use and share, ensuring that the benefits of AI in education are both widespread and sustainable.

Project Title: ACT Communicate Transcend

Project Number: 2020-1-HR01-KA227-SCH-094792

Duration of project: May 2021 – May 2023

Project languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English, Italian, Romanian, Turkish, Bulgarian and Croatian.

Project Partners:

Description of project:

The aims of ACT project are to assist the progress of learning English as a foreign language, in particular speaking skills, by developing a unique drama-based speaking assessment rubric, a set of training materials, a drama-based activity book, and, finally, a e-learning platform which will unite all previously mentioned intellectual outputs. Said intellectual outputs will provide a deeper understanding of drama and its benefits in the classroom.

The project has brought together 8 partners from 6 different countries and employed 12 ESL teachers. This multicultural and diverse cross-sectoral cooperation includes a theatre company, a directorate, a university, two NGOs, an adult education center, and a foreign language school.

The project target groups involve primary and secondary English language teachers from 6 countries, namely Croatia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, and the UK. Their involvement in the project is crucial as they will be implementing the developed activities and be actively involved throughout the project. Having been involved in the project, the teachers will gain an in-depth knowledge of drama-based speaking activities, improve their pedagogical skills, develop their language and cultural understanding as well as make their teaching more fun.

The latest surveys on the accomplishments of English language learners as well as a comparative analysis of languages in education and training across the EU have revealed that “most Member States face challenges in ensuring appropriate learning outcomes in the field of languages” as stated in the document mentioned above. This indicates the necessity to bring a change into the curricula and provide an innovative tool that will be directed at improving English language speaking skills. We believe that bringing drama-based activities into the classrooms across Europe will increase the level of students’ motivation, interest, and engagement, and most importantly, facilitate their learning process as well as improve their speaking skills.

The intellectual outputs will be made available for use both for teachers and their students even after the project is finalized, to develop new and innovative teaching methods and implement these directly into practice as well as professional development through project work.

LFLO

Project Number: 2020-1-UK01-KA226-VET-094508

Project Title: Learning Foreign Languages Online

Duration of project: June 2021 – May 2023

Project languages: The project’s outputs will be available in English, Spanish, Greek and Polish.

Project Partners:

 

Description of project: According to the University of Oxford, thousands of people have decided to learn or continue learning one of the most marketable skills for employment: foreign language. The LFLO project intends to help increase their employability with foreign language skills. The aim of the Learning Foreign Languages Online project is to make it easier for adult and self-directed language learners to learn a foreign language online.

Project partners have developed 2 innovative products/intellectual outputs that aim to encourage self-directed learners to understand how foreign languages are learned and how to engage available online materials to support their learning journey effectively. The products have been assessed by a team of language experts and have been compiled into a project website.

 

Compilation of Open Educational Resources (OERs)

The first product/intellectual output is a compilation of Open Educational Resources (OERs). In the context of this project, OERs are freely accessible, openly licensed online resources for language learners (e.g., grammar websites, podcasts, etc.).  The resource organizes each language’s materials by CEFR level (language level) and area of language study (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening, and speaking).

While using the resources users can learn 7 languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, Polish, German, and Croatian.

 

E-course on How to Learn Foreign Languages Online

The second product/intellectual output is an e-course designed to guide as to how to use our compilation of OERs effectively. The E-course provides 40 hours’ worth of lessons and is comprised of 2 modules:

  • Best practices for self-directed learning- designed to help learners understand how to manage their learning
  • Best practices for foreign language learning – designed to help learners understand the different components of language learning.

With this e-course, learners will develop highly useful skills to be more self-sufficient at learning languages with available resources online.
