Organisation Theme Learning and skills Project name Future Technologies in Education TPI-1412 Summary of project idea The idea of the project is to develop education/learning, taking also into account the transition from education to working life, by utilizing the possibilities of latest technologies. The aim is to exploit the potential of future technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) (as well as gamification, IoT, AI etc) in education/learning. Such smart education/learning environments will not only improve the availability (e.g. regardless time and space, without the need for physical presence etc) and quality of education (education as a service, quality of information) but they will also reform the learning processes. Technologies can also be utilized to implement multi-professional cooperation as well as to promote employment, support labour mobility/recruitment, and on-the-job/lifelong learning. Consequently, the potential for exploiting modern technologies is endless. Based on these, new models will be created for the development of education/learning and educational services. This creates excellent opportunities for the international education export as well.

Participants registered Tuomo Eskelinen - Country Finland Organisation Theme Migrants Project name Skills and courage - increasing entrepreneurship among immigrants Summary of project idea Wanted: Entrepreneurship! Europe today is searching ways to motivate and encourage people to making a move to entrepreneurship. We see specially the unemployed immigrants with higher education background to have tremendous but often unused potential for entrepreneurship. They are having special skills, cultural knowledge and networks that could benefit them in defining business idea and finding the market share for example in
outside the EU). The agreement with the German Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the German IT company X-Tras, signed in 2013, guarantees our Comprehensive School COGITO students to participate in classes at the university's IT department. After obtaining a language certificate and starting studies there, the subjects that they had during the course of education in our Comprehensive School are credited by that university. This allows them to complete their studies in less time. In the course of learning, they also have apprenticeship at X-Tras, which significantly increases their chances of getting a job. It is a very attractive, innovative project that creates a wide range of opportunities for young people to get the sought-after work in IT business and rewarding employment in the border region. We also plan to extend this offer to other fields of study that the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences offers (tourism, economics, and linguistics).
