Hosted by aiComply, 12 people participated in the two-day long meeting (11 people on-site in aiComply offices, and 1 person connected on-line) representing all project partners from 5 European countries – France (IPRA), Greece (HOU), Italy (aiComply), Slovenia (CPU GZS), and Spain (InMedia and UOC).

The meeting was focused on some of the main project topics, such as the content of the training modules and their application in the virtual platform, but it was also aimed at reviewing administrative and financial issues and providing a state of the art of quality assurance and sharing & promotion activities.

The meeting was successful. All the Partners joined the two-day discussions with great attention and collaboration, bringing an added value perceived by all participants. The meeting has also been an opportunity for Partners to meet again after the previous transnational meetings in Lyon and Ljubljana, strengthening more and more the built relationship and the feeling of cooperation and connection among all of us.

On the first day, we focused on administrative and project management issues, project quality monitoring and sharing & promotion activities, including statistics about LinkedIn page engagement and the communication strategy for the last period of the project.

This was followed by a focus on the training modules, in particular Partners presented their modules, their progress and goals for finishing the content, leading to discussion and agreement on certain aspects of the training package.

The second day started with a demo of the learning platform by aiComply and it was the occasion for all Partners to provide suggestions on the possible resulting views of the training modules into the platform. aiComply also presented a demo of the scenario-based game features. Through a very productive brainstorming and discussion, all together we finally agreed on its overall context and structure and defined next deadlines for the project.

The meeting was also an opportunity to strengthen teambuilding. aiComply also invited to the extra-meeting activities some representatives of the group it belongs to – which enhanced the much-appreciated cultural exchange and a wider dissemination of the project. 

This transnational meeting again proved to be very successful and one step closer to bringing a quality training program in the field of smart working in a user-friendly platform accessible for free, aimed at helping HR managers, leaders and business owners in the planning and implementation of smart working in their organizations.

Do you feel you could give your contribution to local tourism but you don’t have enough tools to shape your ideas in terms of self-employment?

Ten (10) training courses available here will provide you with tools and practical support to take advantage of the economical potential of the ancient Roman Roads in terms of employability, self-entrepreneurship and local development.

Hellenic Open University with DAISSy research group, together with other European Institutions from Spain, Italy, Belgium and North Macedonia, has developed them just for you to promote the European Cultural Heritage, especially that of the Roman Roads!

Despite the containment measures due to COVID-19, the 3^rd Transnational Project Meeting, originally planned in Skopje (Republic of North Macedonia), was successfully held in online mode.

The implementation of the project goes on smoothly. The meeting started with a presentation from IWS which showcased the main functionalities of the project platform that has been further enriched with training contents, one of the core results of the project after more than one year of implementation.

In the forthcoming months, the work will be focused on Test & Validation (T&V) activities to deliver training contents directly to the target group and on receiving feedback for further development; the partners will also prepare clear Guidelines to guarantee further sustainability and future exploitation of project results.
In fact, the products created will be tested in the five countries on at least 200 people from the Target Groups. The partners will organize training activities (online and, where possible, face-to-face) for students but also teachers to collect their feedback, aimed to promote and test the training contents.

The Skopje University representative, which will lead the activities within this process, presented its T&V plan, with a detailed description of activities and a clear distribution of roles among partners. Partners were also focused on defining a clear dissemination strategy to raise awareness on project activities and results. This will allow to reach more target groups in the T&V phase and for the limited face-to-face meeting opportunities.

The main goal of ALL ROUTES LEAD TO ROME is to enable university students to identify and pursue the best strategies to maximise the economic return of the ancient routes network, develop basic and transversal skills such as self-reliance, leadership, and the ability to work in groups, problem solving, mastering of digital skills and multilingualism.

DAISSy Research Group contributes in all phases of the project, such as field research, creation of open educational content, piloting, dissemination and exploitation.

At the meeting, the partners discussed about the project progress and deadlines extensions due to the COVID-19. In particular, they focused on the state of development of the Open Educational Resources platform that is already online at https://romanroutes.eu/index.php. Furthermore, the partners presented the mapping on the entrepreneurial potential of the Roman Routes developed under the Intellectual Output 2.

In the coming months the work will be focused on the development of training contents to be loaded on the platform in order to offer non-formal education courses on entrepreneurship related to tourism issues and the potential of Roman Routes also aimed at disadvantaged people.

DAISSy Research Group contributes in all phases of the project, such as field research and mapping of the Roman routes in Greece, creation of open educational content for the Open Educational Platform, piloting, dissemination and exploitation.

All Routes Lead to Rome is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission which involves a Consortium of 8 Partners from 5 countries (Belgium, Italy, Greece, North Macedonia and Spain).

The project aims to enable university students to identify and pursue the best strategies to maximize the economic return of the ancient routes network, develop basic and transversal skills such as self-reliance, leadership and ability to work in groups, problem solving, mastering of digital skills and multilingualism.

Η ερευνητική ομάδα DAISSy

Η ερευνητική ομάδα DAISSy του Ελληνικού Ανοικτού Πανεπιστημίου βρέθηκε στο Lecce στις 28 Νοεμβρίου, φιλοξενούμενη από το University of Salento, για την εναρκτήρια συνάντηση του ALL ROUTES LEAD TO ROME, ενός έργο που συγχρηματοδοτείται από το Πρόγραμμα Erasmus+ της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής και περιλαμβάνει μια κοινοπραξία 8 εταίρων από 5 χώρες (Βέλγιο, Ιταλία, Ελλάδα, Βόρεια Μακεδονία και Ισπανία).

Στόχος του έργου είναι να δοθεί η δυνατότητα σε φοιτητές να εντοπίσουν και να εφαρμόσουν τις καλύτερες δυνατές στρατηγικές για τη μεγιστοποίηση της οικονομικής απόδοσης του δικτύου των αρχαίων Ρωμαϊκών δρόμων, να αναπτύξουν βασικές και εγκάρσιες δεξιότητες όπως αυτοπεποίθηση, ηγετικές ικανότητες, όπως και ικανότητες ομαδικής εργασίας, ικανότητες επίλυσης προβλημάτων, ψηφιακές δεξιότητες και πολυγλωσσία.

Κατά τη συνάντηση, οι συνεργάτες παρουσίασαν τον φορέα τους, συζήτησαν για τα διαχειριστικά ζητήματα του έργου, την Ανοικτή Εκπαιδευτική Πλατφόρμα που θα είναι διαθέσιμη σε όλες τις γλώσσες της κοινοπραξίας, καθώς και τις δράσεις διάχυσης και αξιοποίησης των αποτελεσμάτων για να γνωστοποιηθούν τα αποτελέσματα του έργου στην επικράτεια της ΕΕ.

Η ερευνητική ομάδα DAISSy θα συμβάλει σε όλες τις φάσεις του έργου, όπως η έρευνα πεδίου, η δημιουργία ανοικτού εκπαιδευτικού περιεχομένου για την Ανοικτή Εκπαιδευτική Πλατφόρμα, η πιλοτική εφαρμογή, η διάδοση και η αξιοποίηση των προϊόντων του έργου.
