The BSU staff involved in the project participated in the first working meeting of the project consortium on January 7-8. The programme partners were introduced to the project implementation and management details and made an outline of the future plans.
The objective of the project iHubs4Schools (the project number - DT-TRANSFORMATIONS-21-2020) is to help and provide support to 75 schools and 600 teachers of the 5 European countries involved in the project in establishment and dissemination of the mentoring scheme in the schools as well as between the schools through the innovative hubs. The activities planned in the frame of the project will encourage strengthening of cooperation among the schools in the context of establishment of digital innovations.
The mentoring model envisages sustainable methodological support to schools through utilization of the current approaches to assessment and analytical methods of learning.
The project sustainability is ensured with the involvement of the school community, local municipalities and professional associations.
