Our project vision is to create vibrant local, regional and European learning
communities, fuelled by Regional Learning Facilitators. We need new
organisational concepts and ownership of issues and concerns from the crowd. Our
approach lies in analog and digital networking and support structures that take
into account the value of informal networks. The key message of the project is:
“When we share, we win”. By learning communities, we mean forms of exchange and
cooperation organised by ourselves or supported by the community, which ideally
are supported by the involvement of education authorities. The Learning
Communities deal with solutions to upcoming problems in everyday education, with
challenges of the education system at different system levels, with the
creation, exchange and further development of teaching materials, etc. The
Learning Communities are also involved in the development of new teaching
materials and in the development of new teaching methods. As concrete project
goals, we see: the training of 24 Regional Learning Community Facilitators at
least 12 Regional Learning Communities in 4 European countries the creation of a
European cross-border learning community with at least 48 active members The
development of a Learning Community Facilitator Curriculum, which will later
become a standard KA1 workshop offer. the development of an AI-supported passive
networking platform for teachers and school stakeholders to test a further
development option for eTwinning that currently relies only on active search
functions Our target group is teachers and their reference system. Our aim is to
indirectly support the work of the teachers and to facilitate their planning,
implementation and follow-up of their lessons by focusing on the principles of
cooperation and exchange. Through active networking, but also by pointing out
connection possibilities, teachers should no longer have the feeling of being
alone in the corridor but embedded in a professional system that also brings
them more self-confidence and self-efficacy.
