Examples of recent projects: 1) “Empowering students through educational enhancement with 3D printing technology” (ESTEM-3D)
ESTEM-3D is an Erasmus+ funded project, whose goal is to assist disadvantaged areas, including schools, educators, and students, in learning about 3D printing technologies. While 3D printing is still a developing technology, it has already begun to excite students when present. The ESTEM-3D project trains educators to expand 3D printing in secondary schools, fostering access to new technologies. It promotes digital transformation, new curricula, and supports disadvantaged areas, all to equip students with skills for a changing tech-driven world, enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.
2) Professions that are disappearing – ‘’Let’s not forget, let’s keep alive’’
the program includes:

• Digital Skills: This project uses storytelling or video/social media creation to “bring old traditions to life.”
• Social Inclusion: Encourages the participation of young people with fewer opportunities.
• Students from Halki, Dodecanese and Athens will travel to Izmir, Turkey to participate in the project activities and present the results of their work.
