- AI in EduTech - a tailor-made course with Novareckon
- Promoting STEAM Education through Teacher Training
- Special Needs and Inclusive Education - the Italian experience of overcoming segregation
Realized mobility June 2025.
Partner - host organization
The project partner was the Italian organization Novareckon from the Piedmont region. From the beginning, the cooperation was exemplary - the partner's team showed great flexibility, openness and quick response to our needs. The courses were fully "customized" and the programs were tailored to the expectations of our staff.
Novareckon provided high-caliber trainers, excellent organizational and teaching conditions, as well as a friendly space for learning and integration. An additional advantage was the ability to deliver all courses at one time and place, which strengthened the synergy effect and allowed us to build a sense of community across the team.
The working atmosphere was extremely conducive - creative, inspiring and full of kindness. Thanks to this experience, we made lasting contacts and gained not only new competencies, but also real partners for further international cooperation.
We are back full of energy and new ideas!
Intensive training days are behind us, in a beautiful place, with the most POWERFUL Edu VET team under the sun of Poland and Italy. Now we are bringing back to Poland something more than knowledge - ready-made tools, inspiration and motivation, which we are immediately implementing in our offer.
