Technical schools from Sweden - Vaggeryd, Czech Republic - Pardubice and Slovakia - Prešov are focused on teaching IT subjects notably 3D programming, modelling, electronics, robotics. They are also well equipped with needed 3D equipment. Partners decided to exploit these conditions and create rehabilitation aids for handicapped children which became the main objective of the Erasmus KA 229+ project. Students´ teams made not only 9 planned but 14 aids (SK 6, SE 3, CZ 5). Involved students learned/practised needed knowledge not only in school IT subjects but they became highly motivated to make aids on the best level and studied new programmes on their own. This approach became decisive factor during SARS CoV epidemic when schools were closed and students could get methodical teachers help online only. Even in this period teams completed highly sophisticated electronic aids above the plan. Since all participants intensively communicated via digital means, personally during LTTAs, studied English materials they deepened English language skills well. During LTTAs they also learned basic expressions of partners´ languages. LTTAs belong to the most intensive tool of cooperation, exchange of professional experience, learning partners´ culture, lifestyle. Students cooperated in transnational teams, completed planned aids, underwent lectures and practiced work with 3D programmes, 3D printer, Arduino, sensors and others. They also made quality videos about the mobility, about an aid making and projected presentations about their countries, the previous mobility. Hosts prepared excursions to companies with robotic production (SE, CZ), sightseeing, ethnographic trips.Unfortunately, the last mobility prepared in CZ had to be cancelled because of epidemic and could not be arranged even if the project implementation was extended by one year. Partners used project extension for making aids above the plan, they communicated online, delivered aids to sanatorium in their country only but the whole programme of the last mobility was impossible to complete.Between mobility students deepened knowledge needed for aids completing, created prototypes of planned aids and verified them in sanatoriums, improved them in compliance with doctors suggestions. Attention was devoted to dissemination. Participants made presentations, videos about the mobility and projected them in school classes, at parents meeting, at school Open Door, in case they were arranged. Articles were published on school websites, school news, local press (CZ, SE). You tube, also roll ups were displayed in schools. RESULTSAll planned results were completed. Each team made labyrinths operated by hands, by legs and sophisticated electronic aids run by programmes - robotic glove, tractor reacting on the wrist movement (CZ), 3D labyrinth (SK). This demanded deep students´ knowledge of electrical circuits, programming, 3D modelling, 3D printing, assembling, use of Bluetooth communication. Description of made aids has been published on the web https://3dschoolaids.eu/models.Participating students created electronic, also speaking dictionary in the programming language Java. It can be used by mobile phones. Teachers made E-L introduction to Arduino. Dissemination means were created by students as well: instruction video about an aid creating, videos and presentations about each LTTA, roll up.All project results, its implementation is recorded on the project web made by the student: http://www.3daidsforhandicappedchildren.eu LONGER TERM BENEFITSMade aids will be used for rehabilitation in sanatoriums in partners towns which is going to offer them to similar institutions. Web with aids can be used as the instruction how to complete other aids. Students who made aids improved their knowledge which was evaluated well while passing maturita exam. They successfully passed entrance exam to university and they are well prepared for the following studies. Younger team members have made the core of students realizing the following Erasmus project “Visual Aids to Make Learning/Teaching Easier”.

The project School Television News was realized in cooperation of 3 secondary technical European schools - Hungary - Cegléd, Romania- Bacau and Czech Republic- Pardubice.Partners experience of this and previous project (School Electronic News granted by Leonardo da Vinci) proved that Strategic Partnership Projects are effective tools with a deep positive impacts on participants.The main objectives of the School Television News (STVN) were to achieve the higher quality of students professional competences by means of their intensive work on the project results. These were videos familiarizing teachers, students, the public with the ways of teaching, school life. Students teams made 3 issues of news in which were introduced subjects taught in schools, traditional school events and viewers get information about one partner school, country. Videos were processed in a lively way with commentaries, interviews, animations. Each issue contained a window about a partner school. Another result was a training video about assemble and use a model of RAM, aid made by CZ student and presentation about the use of 3D printer by Romanians. The project was realized by students of 1st - 3rd classes partially in ICT lessons and practice where they created logo for the project website, videos about school events and about a school aid. Volunteers from 1st - 3nd classes formed a core - students editorial team. They also worked besides regular lessons, often on their own. These students completed 3issues of STVN, made and took care of the project web, wrote articles about project activities to school web, local press, made posters about LTTAs. Teachers made E-learning programme about methodology of creating videos. Partners realized 3 short-term exchanges - LTTAs of students in their schools. Each exchange enabled its participants to exchange, share, deepen knowledge of making videos since they underwent ICT lessons where they learned the programme used for teaching in the host school. Participants applied new knowledge while creating a video about assigned topic. (RO - Lyceum Ferdinand, HU – School life, CZ - Prague). Since they worked in transnational teams they could exchange their knowledge, experience. Each partner teachers familiarized others with his innovative approaches in ICT subjects. Since inseparable part of technical studies are communication and language competences the participants were given great opportunity to improve them because they had to communicate among themselves via electronic means and personally during exchanges. Participants also wrote subtitles, commentaries to videos, articles about LTTAs activities. Each partner arranged a lesson to teach others basic expressions in their mothers tongues. Programmes of LTTAs included learning partners cultures – sightseeing, excursions, cultural performances- this deepened participants European awareness.Evaluations by surveys, questionnaires, public reactions at dissemination actions proved that planned results, objectives, positive impact were achieved. Participants not only deepened their professional and language competences but they were motivated to self-studies, improved their personal qualities. (reliability, responsibility, self-confidence) All project results, activities are accessible on the project website (www.schooltelevisionnews.eu) and were disseminated in school lessons, dissemination actions, local press, Europe Direct Pardubice, Bacau and TV news (RO, HU).

The project 3D techniques was realized in cooperation of 3 secondary technical European Schools: Sweden - Vaggeryd, Slovakia - Prešov, Czech Republic - Pardubice. All partners experience of this and previous project (e.g. Leonardo da Vinci) proved that Strategic Partnership Projects are effective tools with a deep educational all-round impacts on participants. They improve their professional, social, language skills, European awareness, personal qualities. The main objective of the 3DT project was to achieve the higher quality of students professional competences by means of their intensive work on the project results. Learners of the 1st – 4th classes (CZ, SK; 4 classes SW) learned and trained 3D modelling, created 3D models in ICT and practice lessons. The core - students project teams - also worked in 3DT clubs as well as on their own. They learned to assemble and use 3D printer, elaborated and assembled school aids, made the training video about it; created and managed the project website (www.3dtechniques.eu), website displaying made aids with instructions (https://3dschoolaids.eu); formed videos, posters, presentations about LTTAs; wrote articles about project activities to be published on school websites, in the local press. Teachers of partners made training E-l programme. Another objective was innovation of school curricula which were upgraded with programmes used by partners - 3DS Max is taught on a higher level (CZ), assembling use of 3D printer started being taught in practice lessons (CZ, SK), 3D modelling in all classes (SW). Work on the project implementation deepend cooperation of ICT teachers in each partner school. Partners realized 4 study exchanges in their schools. Main objectives of their programmes were to teach/learn 3D techniques to deepen participants knowledge, exchange study experience while working in transnational teams. The LTTAs programmes included a lesson of the hosts tongues and learning partners culture by undergoing sightseeing tours, excursion in museums, places of natural beauties. Students created videos about each partner schools, towns, countries which were performed to their classmates, school staffs, parents, the public. Teachers also familiarized each other with his methods in teaching 3DT, ICT and innovative methods. Impact on participants was evaluated by surveys, questionnaires, by their school marks. These means proved that involved students deepened their skills of 3D techniques use, language, communication competences, European awareness, personal qualities. Most of them rated improvement as very much (at about 60%), average (30-40 %). Public reactions on dissemination actions were also positive. All results, project implementation is accessible on the project website – www.3dtechniques.eu

"A few didactic hours were devoted to computer graphics and photo processing in the curriculum for the IT technician profession. The subject of e-commerce, e-sport, online games and steaming is almost completely omitted, which may seem obvious to some, because it is mainly entertainment and so in the busy schedule, the teacher should wisely manage the time for the other, very important content, without which a graduate of this profession will not appear in the current labour market. Of course, there is no doubt that learning these modern trends of functioning on the web is a novelty and knowledge addressed mainly to young people, but they will constitute future generations and future employees in modern companies.We started by verifying whether it was necessary and useful at all, and then how to devote time to interesting and absorbing students' knowledge classes in this topic and direct them to become interested in current trends in online streaming, graphics or games so that those who the elements will interest or tie their future with ""work"" on the web, they could learn something more.In recent years, public awareness and interest in so-called movies, ubiquitous computer graphics, online commerce, and computer games and techniques associated with the use and combination of these solutions have reached an incredible scale.Specialists, programmers as well as marketers and traders face a daily challenge to meet the needs of customers from around the world: from movies on social networking sites, through graphics in online stores, to large-budget online games bringing together millions of players and fans. Therefore, teachers must be familiar with these IT solutions and be creative in offering to learn about them to meet the needs of students and offer interesting graduates.The main goal of the project is to bring the results of vocational education related to the IT industry closer to the needs of the labour market and the interests of students during 23 months.The project involves the implementation of educational innovation and the promotion of new technologies and the development of models for confirming / recognizing competences acquired in the project by a group of local employers and school representatives. The innovation will be based on international and joint development taking into account the experience of employers from the IT market, e-sport and e-marketing of the non-formal education program (both - technical school students in any field of study and students of other vocational schools).The main goal will be achieved when we achieve the following specific objectives:- increasing the quality and efficiency of vocational education in the IT industry in response to current trends,- developing new skills for practicing educators and equipping them with competences and knowledge necessary to provide high-quality educational services and in response to these trends,- enhancing the social mission to promote vocational training that meets the needs of European employers and the IT solutions used."

"The project “Visual aids for easier learning/teaching” will be completed by 6 partners – technical secondary schools from BG Burgas, GR Aigion, FR Dijon, SL Prešov, SE Vaggeryd, CZ Pardubice.These schools provide education to at about 1 000 students aged 15 – 19 (12 – 19 BG). Taught branches are concentrated on Mathematics, Physics, ICT, Electrical engineering, Electronics, Science, (BG), Wind turbine maintenance (FR), others.Each partner is going to create 6 quality videos which should visualize learning/teaching technical subjects, Mathematics, Science. The aim is to make learning of its difficult parts more clear, understandable. One video will popularize a subject(s) students consider to be interesting, belong to their favourite. Its choice will be based on eTwinning project ""My favourite subject(s)"" Participating members will be students studying Multimedia subjects and/or are interested in videos making, at about 30 at each school. They will learn/deepen knowledge and skills needed for the quality videos making (handle with camera, do script, cut, soundtrack, animation, video effects, write titles, use distribution means). They will also learn basics of programs used by video makers in each school ( For example Adobe Premiere - Pinnacle Studio, Audacity, Subtitle Workshop, Animate, Affects, media Encode) Apart from professional aims the project implementation includes other objectives and benefits - partners will exchange methods of teaching multimedia and technical subjects which will enrich their school curricula. Teachers will process “Methodology of video teaching” to help beginners. Participants will considerably enrich awareness about 6 countries cultures, lifestyle; they will improve English, learn basics of each partner language; deepen team work while cooperating in international teams; increase motivation to self- study. Personal development (responsibility, reliability) cannot be neglected.Project implementation is divided into 6 learning/teaching phases, each is focused on precision of one step of video creating precision which will be realized by making 1 video. At the end of each phase partners will cooperate in LTTA, gradually at each partner school. Made videos will be projected, evaluated, discussed there. Students will also create short videos/clips in international teams to exchange practical experience, improve learned skills during LTTAs.Dissemination belongs to inseparable parts of the project. Participants will make videos, presentations about each LTTA which they will perform in classes, at school events, to the public - at parents meetings, Open school door, others.Visual aids will be accessible for interested schools since they will be published on the project web in the file MP4, You tube, eTwinning and Erasmus platforms. Other dissemination means will be roll ups, posters, noticeboards, short performance on Amos Visual interactive panels installed in 30 CZ schools. Popularization technical studies and the project implementation, results will be also made by articles published in the local press, at the meetings of headmasters, in SIPO (methodical web) of the Czech School Ministry. Variety of knowledge which students obtain will be definitely used in the future as well be as visual aids will be used in schools for teaching and self-studies. Some these schools can follow the method of making videos to visualize learning/teaching."
