DAISSy Research Group participated in the AMeliE Erasmus project 1st LTTA in Italy

amelie-ltta-italyDAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University participated in the 1st Learning Teaching Training Activity (LTTA) of the two-year Erasmus+ project “Advanced Media Literacy Education to counter online hate-speech [AMeLiE]”. The meeting was held in Foligno, Italy, where the coordinating organization, EGINA, is based and was the first live meeting of the project due to covid-19 restrictions.

AΜeLiE aims to address the issue of online hate-speech. The project has been created by a consortium of 6 partners from five countries (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania). The partnership includes sectoral organisations  – national and international education networks and organisations;  VET providers, one university-HOU, and two European networks in digital skills and online hate-speech professionals.

During the 5-day meeting, from 15th to 19th November 2021, twelve trainers from Belgium,  Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy and Romania had an one-week long trainers’ training on how to tackle online hate speech. Greece was represented by two trainers, members of the DAISSy research group.

The first day participants learned about Parole Ostilli activities and the Manifesto of non-hostile communication with its 10 golden rules via a mostly powerful and inspiring presentation. They went through several kinds of activities and had the opportunity to brainstorm, to reflect and make suggestions for the best implementation of the Manifestoas well as inclusive speechin education.

The second day was dedicated to the AMeLiE online platform – the core of the project – which is developed by DAISSy-HOU and it will be used to train teachers, share the resources and host the Schools’Virtual Network. In a special 3-hour structured session, DAISSy experts initiated all participants to the innovative SonetBULL good practice; an interactive platform where users can not only download educational materials but can also carry out “bottom-up” initiatives and campaigns, co-construct shared content, open debates and present “cases” and their possible resolutions. Notably SonetBULL is a DAISSy production from a previous project. Subsequently, the AMeLiE platform was showcased in detail to the trainers in situ and online to the associated teachers who form the pilot group of the AMeLiE schools’ network. Everyone had the chance to test its functionalities and share ideas for improvements.

During the third day trainers had an exceptional workshop at ATLAS, a center with long experience in art therapy with technological mediation and the expertise in traditional art therapies, along with innovative verbal and non-verbal communication approaches.

The fourth day, participants’ interest peaked with cultural activities and ice breakers techniques. These techniques, such as metaphor cards, are suitable for discussing topics from different points of view and transforming a one-sided point of view into a more inclusive, broader perspective.

The last day of the LTTA was devoted on how to conduct a monthly kind speech day campaign, which constitutes one of the core activities of the AMeLiE project. A fruitful argumentation between trainers highlighted ideas and produced plans on how to involve local communities, share with other teachers and students, engage different stakeholders and make successful the monthly kind-speech-day campaign at schools.

The results of LTTA in Italy are currently studied and feedback from all partners will be used in the next phase of AMeLiE, i.e. the development of the Schools’ Virtual Network to combat online hate speech.

The Deliverable 2.1 Xenia Inclusiveness Index of the Erasmus+ project XENIA that DAISSy Research Group of HOU is the Greek partner is now fully available online in English!

xenia-logoThe Deliverable 2.1 – Xenia Inclusiveness Index of the Erasmus+ project XENIA is now fully available online in English. This document describes in detail the main activities that have been performed to develop the XENIA Inclusiveness Index – Beta version (Work Package 2 of the XENIA project). It also provides information aboutthe entire assessment process for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and how the Index will work.

The Index will assist European HEIsin evaluating the equality and inclusiveness strategies that they adopt to address diversity (specifically based on sex, gender and sexual orientation) within their contexts.

The beta version of XENIA Inclusiveness Index consists of three key elements:

  1. Matrix for the HE specialised personnel, consisting of a series of objective indicators that assess the inclusiveness of a HEI;
  2. Survey for students and staff of HEIs to gauge the subjective perceptions of inclusiveness in the HEI;
  3. XENIA Index, that is a vector index that allows to summarise the information collected and record and interpret changes in specific values of the assessment process.

XENIA is a 36-month-lasting Erasmus + project that is currently been implemented by a consortium made up of 7 partners from 5 European countries (Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Ireland, Greece). Five European Universities (one in each country directly involved in the project) are about to start the piloting test of the Index beta version.

All materials are completely free and accessible from this link: https://xeniaindex.eu/pdf/wp2.pdf

Smart Employees for Smart Cities online conference with the participation of the DAISSy research team of Hellenic Open University

DevOps_final_conference_website

 

On Thursday, 25 November, from 9:30-13:15 CET, the DevOps competences for Smart Cities (Smart DevOps) project consortium will hold a final project’s online conference titled Smart Employees for Smart Cities. Those attending will have the opportunity to learn how to bridge the gap between today’s and future’s skills demands of the municipal workforce.

Register now

Smart cities are complex ecosystems that use information and communication technologies for helping their citizens and organizations deal with the challenges of urbanization, safety, resilience, and sustainability. Their creation is a long and laborious transformation that should not be considered mainly as a technical challenge but as a movement to create citizen-centred ecosystems that improve quality of life and stimulate economic activity.

A highly skilled workforce is key in rendering smart city ecosystems a reality. Even though billions of euros are invested in technological or urban development, not sufficient effort has been spent in training the necessary workforce with the skills needed in smart cities ecosystems.

The Smart DevOps project aims to close the gap between today’s and future’s skills demands of the municipal workforce by emphasizing the exploitation of emerging employment paradigms such as DevOps. The key advantage of DevOps is that it allows to innovate and rapidly deploy innovative solutions for the citizens. This was the premise and also a starting point of the DevOps competences for Smart Cities project.

At the final conference, we will present project deliverables, pilot activities results and facilitate discussions about the future of skills development in the Smart Cities sector. Specifically, you will hear about and be able to discuss:

  • Key transversal and specific competencies for Smart Cities professionals
  • 3 new emerging Smart City job profiles (Smart City Planner, Smart City IT Manager, Smart City IT Officer)
  • Vocational Curricula for the three job profiles delivered through the Massive Online Open Course and Specialisation Courses
  • Results of extensive pilot training attended by hundreds of trainees
  • Smart City Body of Knowledge
  • A growing community of Smart Cities stakeholders (IT and tech experts, public officials and employees)

The conference targets individuals and representatives of associations, institutions and businesses from local, national and European levels, namely (the list below is not exhaustive):

  • Smart Cities professionals
  • Municipalities and cities representatives
  • IT experts
  • VET providers
  • Decision-makers
  • Policy-makers

The last speech of the event was delivered by Prof Maria Hatzinikolaou, who is a Professor of HOU and the Deputy Scientific Coordinator of the BIBLIO project in Greece. In parallel she is a member of the Administrative Board of the HEALink (Hellenic Academic Libraries link) and she is fully aware of the role of this association and its activities at national and international level. Therefore, she presented briefly a set of distinctive initiatives of the association and showcased how they are benefited by the BIBLIO findings. In addition, she emphasized on the relation achieved among the HEALink, the DAISSy and the DLIC-HOU towards the promotion as well as the exploitation of both the BIBLIO MOOC and the rest of the project deliverables.

The presentations were completed by announcing the BIBLIO MOOC call for registrations and its official launch on 4th October 2021 and explaining the registration process which is open (until then) and free of charge.

A brief but vivid discussion took place at the end of the event, through the exchange of questions-answers, comments and interventions by the participants. More precisely, they acknowledged the need for the digital autonomy of the library professionals and the new skills for coping with the challenges of serving their library users through a holistic approach, they made positive remarks on the research findings, they confirmed the importance of the BIBLIO MOOC and expressed their initial interest in its content.

The national event was organized in Greek, a pre-registration process was applied for attending it and all participants received certificates. The organizer has kept all related material (invitations, proof of promotional actions, registration forms, certificates, presentations, photos, etc.) within the dossier of the event.
