The Education 4 You Project has been prepared for four upper-secondary schools from four countries, the Czech Republic, Iceland, Poland, and Portugal, with the aim to develop and deepen digital skills, to support creativity and entrepreneurship, to learn how to communicate, debate and justify our own opinion, to enlarge English language competences and to boost the feeling of being part of Europe.
Participating students are between the ages of 15 and 18, the students of both general and vocational fields of study, who will work together in order to maintain continuous cooperation in the project. We are planning to involve 2 staff members and 8 students from each school at each training event. The activities will be coordinated by project teams of teachers and other professionals as well.
The project “Education 4 You” (edu4U) will develop entrepreneurism and creativity by coming up with a business idea of a particular product/service, creating a marketing strategy, making it, presenting it and compiling a simple final report. The students can use 3D printing, coding basics, games, and unplugged activities. Furthermore, they will strengthen their communication skills in debates on the Sustainable Development Goals (2030) which are connected to the world of work, sustainability, and a healthy lifestyle. Learning will happen not only inside, but also in outdoor settings with sports, environmental and cultural activities which are inseparable parts of our lives.
Concrete results of the project will be products and connected activities of training firms in a form of reports, a set of learning activity plans in a form of a tutorial and the outcomes from debating activities will be available online. A brochure of project newsletters will serve as a dissemination method for interested parties. All project outputs will be shared via CC licenses.
Expected outcomes of the project include skills and knowledge acquisition, English language learning, and personal and community development.
We are going to create an assessment plan in order to evaluate project activities, outcomes, and impact. The assessment plan will be created together by all partners but carried out independently through questionnaires, rubrics, event feedback, interviews, observations and demonstrations. In the end, there will be quantitative indicators that refer, for example, the number of activities and their outcomes, and there will be qualitative indicators that include, for example, the participants’ thoughts and feelings.
This project has many benefits, especially regarding cooperation within the several school communities involved in this project. It encourages us to learn together and from each other while enabling needed skills for the future.
