Media and information literacy

How to sell yourself and pitch your project (idea) is a unique micromodule where learners do all the talking while the teamcher’s role is to facilitate the process. Learners are empowered to master their oral skills by using the language (English, minimum B2) in meaningful contexts. Learners develop essential competences to become more confident, convincing, and empathetic communicators able to ask follow-up and probing questions. The micromodule provides them with space to simulate various academic and professional situations, such as: interviews, surveys, presentations, pitches. 

On successful completion of the micromodule, learners will become confident speakers and team members who can express themselves very well with good understanding of their interlocutors’ needs. Being a good communicator will help them succeed both in their professional and personal life.

Are you ready to implement technological solutions and to design experiences that encourage young people to stay and become active participants in their cities? The objective of this challenge is to help create a city that is not just technologically advanced, but one that also feels like a vibrant, inclusive, and dynamic environment—one that appeals to young, creative, and ambitious minds. Ultimately, the goal is to conceive of innovative technological solutions and services that address specific civic problems while simultaneously empowering young citizens to become active digital participants in their city’s evolution.

The challenge will be broken down into parts based on the CBL cycle. Participants will work in teams to develop a solution and will be evaluated on the effectiveness of their solution, the quality of their design and implementation, and the level of innovation and creativity demonstrated in their approach. 

The challenge can be organized in collaboration with two organizations to provide participants with access to resources, expertise, and mentorship. Learners will also develop essential transversal competences to become more confident, convincing, and empathetic communicators able to ask follow-up and probing questions.The challenge providesthem with space to simulate various academic and professional situations, such as: interviews, surveys, presentations, pitches.

Future-ready Young Citizens in the Smart City Era

Empowering the Next Generation for Innovation, Sustainability, and Connectivity

Resilient communities

This micro-module is based on the idea of developing solutions for the European Diploma  and Flexible Learning Pathways in an international environment during the summer school hosted in Poland. Paricipants, ECIU teachers,  will carry out in-depth teamwork in one of those topics. They will learn how to identify the challenge, obtain, and compile reaserch information and communicate the results in English on minimum CEFR B2+ level. The participants will be able to gain valuable creative problem-solving skills. This challenge is a chance to make a tangible difference in how we approach lifelong learning within the ECIU capacity. We invite teachers who are ready to create a meaningful change by benefiting not only themselves through skill acquisition, but also by making a valuable impact on the ECIU community.
