Kick-Off Meeting – Kuopio

The kick-off meeting of this T.O.I. project took place in Kuopio (Finland) on the 6th and 7th of November. The schools participating (from 7 different countries) are ValDoRio, Savo, U. of Pitesti, Meram Vocational School, CSC Birmingham Xabec and Lycée I. Newton.
“ProjectX” is a methodological guide for a student to carry out a concrete activity, one to one with the teacher, in which theory and practice are both perfectly integrated, and which is related to the real workplace.

During this meeting all the main aspects of the project development were addressed:

•  Xabec presented a detailed plan of the activities and the deadlines for each one of the results.  The innovative products in which the project is based were revised and the first steps for the development of the ProjectX were presented.
• Regarding financial management, the project manager presented the templates for the reports, how they have to be filled in and the documents that support each template.
• Partners gave their input to complete the Dissemination Plan and the Quality Management Plan.

We have the unique opportunity of listening  Ms. Anni Karttunen, she is an expert in European Educational Policy from the EUedu unit.

Second Transnational Meeting – Pitesti

The second meeting of the project was held in Pitesti (Rumania) on the 6th and 7th of February, 2014. Representatives from all partners attended the meeting.

The main objective of this meeting was twofold: in one hand partners reviewed all the work  done during the first  months of the project , and on the other, the steps to finish  the ProjectX of each school were defined.

Firstly each partner made a short presentation about the VET system in its country. The objective was to understand the framework of the future mobilities of our students and teachers.

Secondly Xabec presented the methodology to work with ProjectX, including all the suggestions the partners had made to Level 1, and the templates for Level 2 and 3 were introduced.

Finally each school presented the First Level of the three ProjectXs they developed. Partners presented pictures of their workshops, the materials used and a concept of the final result of each ProjectX

Third Transnational Meeting – Lisbon

To finish the first year of the project, partners organised the third transnational meeting in Lisbon (Portugal) on the 5th and 6th of January.

This meeting started with the presentation of two importan results of the project: The Reasearch and Analysis Report(WP2) and the Guidelines to Make a ProjectX (WP3).

The main part of the meeting was devoted to review Level 2 of the  21 ProjectX developed by partners. We had 3 sessions of two hours in which partners were divided in 3 groups, and each group reviewed a set of ProjectX. At the end of the session, partners produced a report with the necessary improvements of each ProjectX: technical, linguistical, etc.

Finally, there was a Management workshop. Xabec presented a Budget Progress Report by partner,  and the Quality Report in which each accomplished result was presented along its indicators.

Taking advantage of the third transnational meeting, our host Val do Rio Vocational Training Centre organised a training course for teachers. The  main topic was the new generation networks and new concept of experience with microcontrollers that allow students to experiment & perform hands-on activities based on multiple “physiological sensors”. In this video you can see what students can do with this kind of technology.
