Robotics for the Inclusive Developement of Atypical and Typical Children

(2019-1-HU01-KA201-061275 )

We have started a  learning materials development project relating to the usage of ArTeC robots in 2019, with the involvement of 7 devoted organisations from 4 countries, with support from the Erasmus+ program. In 2021., 6 new organisation from 3 more countries joined to our consortium.  

Under this programme, we have set targets to develop and test a module matrix, which helps supporting the development of 8-14 age group in inclusive groups with the help of educational robotics. 

The module matrix, through a process of 10 texts with worksheets, building and programming ideas and inspirations, teacher guides, methodological excipients and teacher training programmes on different fields, aids the support of children who need talent development or development in inclusive groups.

Marketplace of knowledge for Digital Education Methodology

(2020-1-HU01-KA226-SCH-094158)

In our international cooperation in the frame of Erasmus+ KA-226-SCH, launched in May 2021, we aim to develop a knowledge base of methodological and teaching materials and an interactive, freely usable and developable online framework, which will equip teachers with knowledge, ideas, adeptness with different methodologies and easy-to-use teaching materials in the difficult situation of COVID-19, while at the same time helping to forge a positive future out of what we can learn from COVID-19. The knowledge base puts a special emphasis on teaching children with learning difficulties and gifted children – while also leading toward new ways of pedagogy for the future, facilitated by digital solutions. 

The methodological materials developed within the framework of the project will help teachers in four areas: 

  • The online framework facilitates online education during and beyond COVID with easy-to-use functionality, new educationally focused features compared to the conference interfaces, and a freely enrichable collection of learning materials. 
  • A collection of methodological training materials to support teachers’ self-training in online, distance and blended learning, gamification, and the creation of new presentation materials (videos, animations). 
  • We provide developed lesson plans to help your students to manage their time effectively, learn, use digital tools safely, or even to apply creative digital art, algorithmic thinking and programming in a complex, cross-curricular way. 
  • With a collection of exercises, discussion topics and solution suggestions on internet safety, digital device use at home, and digital stress management at home, you can help your students’ parents to create a safer, more motivating environment for their children in the online space. 
STAGE
„All the world’s a stage …- but what kind of World?”

(2020-1-HU01-KA227-YOU-094091)

In 22 months, four organisations from three nations, with the help of drama teachers and many young people, with their countless ideas, boundless optimism, openness and willingness to cooperate, and with the support of the Erasmus+ programme, have developed a new methodology. 

The project have been coordinated by Giving Hungary Foundation with the participation of Abacusan Studio. 

In the framework of the project:  

  • Interactive plays and performances were created reflecting on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people  
  • Youth mentors involved in the multiplication of the practice were prepared in a joint training 
  • Methodological guidelines were written so that the methodology and practice developed could be used by other drama teachers and youth workers
