SMART Youth Center

“Support Mobility Activities Running through Tech - S.M.A.R.T. Youth Centers” project is a Strategic Partnership (Key Action 2 – KA2) of the Erasmus+ Programme funded by the Hellenic National Agency INEDIVIM (The Youth and Lifelong Learning Foundation). The project started on December 2021 and will run for 24 months under a consortium of 8 partnering organizations from 6 different European countries.

S.M.A.R.T. project focuses on achieving a triple impact. First, it seeks to create opportunities for organizations, trainers and youth workers to innovate. Secondly, it aims at the increased use of Open Educational Resources, ensuring that educational materials produced with European or public funding are free, open and available to all for use or reuse. Finally, it seeks to improve the infrastructure of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and connectivity in youth centers.

The project will develop for 4 core Project Results:

1. MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) or Mass Free Online Courses for the Digitization of Education and the Use of Digital Tools

2. Virtual Reality Platform for the implementation of digital activities for youth workers

3. Pilot implementation of digital activities

4. Digital toolbox: initially the partner-head of MOOC PR, in collaboration with the other partners, will create the mass lessons. This PR is also the backbone of the overall project, as it aims to educate youth workers on a variety of topics related to digital education, digital tools, distance learning, etc.
