International learning with Primera.
  Last week, FACTIVE consortium met for the conclusion of some of the IOs and advance on the next ones. First journey began with the hosting partner, MODATEX, presenting their facilities. Then, the journey continued with an additional transnational project meeting where several aspects were discussed. Communication, presented by AEI Tèxtils; quality, presented by Cre.Thi.Dev., and management aspects, among others. Also, the IO6 - FACIVE Community Practice was updated by CIAPE. Then, the consortium focused on the validation of the IO2, the FACTIVE learning methodology. STEP institute conducted a theoretical and a simulation case that enabled the partners to experiment, to check and to give the final validation to the IO. Also, an update of the IO4 - FACTIVE Handbook, that will include guidelines for VET trainees, experts, and companies in how to apply this FACTIVE flipped classroom methodology (IO2), was presented by CITEVE. The discussion and clarification of the next steps of this IO concluded on the last day of the event. The second day was about the IO3 – FACTIVE training toolkit validation. This IO consists in a Massive Online Open Classroom (MOOC) that will be the platform where students and trainers will learn, improve, and evaluate knowledge and skills. Link Campus University gave a theoretical lesson on flipped classroom and the ways of making it attractive as well as the chance to consortium to check and review the platform. The last session, as mentioned, focused on the IO4 and the IO5 – Compendium of pilot testing reports. The IO4 discussions concluded after a workshop dynamized by CITEVE. The Institut de Terrassa conducted a discussion about the definition, tasks, and responsibilities about the IO5, that will compile several pilot trials of the whole FACTIVE flipped classroom experience.  FACTIVE partners during the IO4 workshop. The FACTIVE project is advancing on its own objectives successfully and the partnership agrees on the quality task everyone is doing, giving specific value to the communication and confidence among all of them.

 FREE WEBINAR with Dr Albert & Leonida Mrgole, therapists and parents of four children. Date: 8 November 2021 at 20:00 Central European Time (Brussels Time) Location: Live streaming on Facebook page Erasmus+ Courses by Primera and YouTube channel Erasmus by Primera. Adolescence is the last period before adulthood. In this period, children are developing mentally, physically and emotionally. It is not an easy task for them, so it is very important that they have us parents for support. Parents who wouldn’t fall even in the strongest hurricane. That's why it is especially important that we, as adults, maintain a connection during this period. Even if we don’t always agree with our adolescents, even if they are cross lines and sometimes do silly things. In this webinar, we will talk about the experiences of parents, our own above all. You will learn:
The webinar is free of charge, held in English. Warmly welcome teachers and parents. Send this invitation to other parents who might be interested to join. Albert and Leonida, authors of the book Connect with Your Teenager, are successful and well known therapists in the field of parenting and family relationships. They organize numerous workshops for parents and couples. They have been working in this field for over 20 years and are known for leading unforgettable events. Albert has a PhD in sociology and studied psychology, doing fieldwork with marginal youth in a residential care institution. He developed a program for rescuing school dropouts, which received the European Innovation Award. He has been a practicing psychotherapist since 2003. Albert initially trained in systemic family therapy, and he and Leonida continued their studies with Imago clinical therapy techniques and began working as co-therapists.

 International learning with its diversity is an irreplaceable experience for every teacher. It provides insights into different teaching practices across Europe. Thanks to international learning teachers are able to network with other teachers and bring international dimension to every single student.
Let's say you are a teacher in Croatia. You are committed to project-based learning. This evening you are drafting a new project based learning experience for your students. Topic: circular economy. Thanks to international learning experience you are able to create a project in which you include an entrepreneur from Italy who is making mushrooms out of coffee waste, an architect from Denmark who creates circular buildings, and a young student from France who is making beer out of bread. Sounds inspiring? Yes! Sounds impossible? Yes! Or not if your continuous professional development includes international learning. Such dreams are possible if training providers across Europe work together. Cooperate to support teachers in delivering real teaching for the 21st century where creativity and collaboration leads success. Erasmus+ Teacher Academies aims just that. Unite teacher training providers. Join forces to strengthen international learning for teachers. In Primera Courses and Step Institute we are strongly motivated to contribute to Erasmus+ Teacher Academies projects which will search for answers that are burning in our hearts for a long, long time. Let’s see some of the important questions and barriers that prevent teachers from fully benefiting from international learning within the Erasmus+ projects. We hope that Erasmus+ Teacher Academies in which we will participate as partners will bring answers. #1 Embracing multilingualism. Digitalization in education during pandemic is stronger than ever. So is the need of supporting teachers in digital and international endeavours. European Union alongside the teaching organizations community offers countless international learning opportunities for teachers. But those opportunities are not accessible to all teachers because of the language barrier. Most of the international learning opportunities are in English. Consequently, teachers with lack of English language skills resist participation in international learning or they cannot fully benefit from it. By answering to this gap more teachers will create projects as mentioned above as is the case with the circular economy. #2 Creating networks and communities of practice. If communities of practice are led top down, they tend to become slow. Consequently inactive and failing to support teachers. With digitalization we are able to create an agile teaching community with engaging international events on a regular basis. Agility allows us to answer quickly on all the initiations which come directly from teachers. With digitalization it is also easy to connect teachers and share their best practices. Collaborating this way is much more sustainable compared to collaboration which is alive only during the project lifetime. #3 Teaching 21st century skills. Initiative, creativity, collaboration, leadership, flexibility etc is impossible to teach isolated. Having a teacher who will bring international collaboration directly into a classroom is like cooking Chinese before going to China. It gives students a feeling of real life and it develops skills they will need in the future regardless of their choice of a career. Ready to innovate, share and engage.
