"<< Objectives >>ContextContacts between the old and young generations have changed and are sporadic. Older people miss digital competences and feel not included in society.ObjectivesImprove intergenerational and digital skills from the VET-students and their teachers as well as from older people. Improve digital possibilities for communication between VET students and older people, to improve their digital readiness and inclusion.Number of participants240 (direct involved)250 (indirectly involved)<< Implementation >>YMOCH activities are described in 4 WP's WP 1 PMWP 2 develops, identifies or reworks learning materials and methods for the learning scenario ""Culinary Heritage""WP 3 develops digital educational tools, such as video editing, podcasts, formats for online cookbooks, the CH-app and online Goose-playsWP 4 brings together materials from WP 2 and WP 3. Tools will be implemented, leading to interviews, making and playing Goose plays and cookbooks and finally to the intergenerational cooking event.<< Results >>Results- Learning scenario ""Culinary Heritage"" is available, including all digital tools, and placed on the project's website.- VET students and their teachers have produced: * edited videos and podcasts with older people, * reworked regional recipes for making an online cookbook, * an online Goose play, tried out with older people, * an intergenerational cooking event.ImpactVET students have improved their social and digital skills and have more respect for the older generation."

The project builds on innovative practices in the digital age. We see in digital tools the potential for new learning opportunities that lead to greater personalization and flexibility of learning, as well as to the introduction of new pedagogical and assessment practices. These tools can increase access to open educational resources and ensure greater access to education for some disadvantaged groups.However, school education institutions need not only open educational resources, but also appropriate methodological tools for their effective use, maintenance or development. In this context, we therefore consider it necessary for education staff to be equipped with adequate digital skills and competences that can guarantee the adequate and effective use of these resources and digital tools. These skills are essential for all educators and teachers. They have added value for foreign language teachers and can help increase students' motivation for a foreign language other than English.The presented project contributes to the current development of language skills by learning the German language and by adapting educational processes to the digital environment it leads to the development of digital skills. The development of learning competence is stimulated by integrating the steps and activities that lead to autonomous learning.The project team consists of three universities (University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia; Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic; University of Vilnius, Lithuania) and six high schools (Gymnázim Janka Matúšku v Galante, Slovakia; Gymnázium Jána Holého v Trnave, Slovakia; Gymnázium a strední odborná škola dr. V. Smejkala, Ústi nad Labem, Czech Republic; Gymnázium a strední odborná škola Mikulov, Czech Republic; Vilniaus Gabios Gymnazija, Lithuania; Vilniaus jezuiti gymnazija, Lithuania) This team will not only contribute to the quality of the project's outputs by bringing together highly recognized experts and exchanging best practices and experiences, but will also enable the creation of educational material that is not linked to just one national education system, ensuring its wide applicability within the EU.The output of the project is the practical methodical handbook for GFL online teaching, which takes into account the digital instruments and the latest approaches in the field of language teaching and the development of foreign language skills. The methodical handbook partly consists of specific tasks, exercises and activities in the form of open educational resources. The designed material should lead to an increase in the quality of teaching as well as to promote the language skills of the students. The handbook contributes to the immediate innovation of educational practices in the context of the digital age.The project also includes training activities aimed at increasing the digital competence of teachers in secondary and tertiary education and developing methodological and technical competence of high school teachers who are involved in the implementation of project outputs in practice. The multiplier events and dissemination activities are planned to disseminate the project results in a larger context beyond the boundaries of the strategic partnership. The project results should not be tied to a single national education system, but it should be transnational, expandable and also adaptable after the project has been completed. The project result as a whole is planned as an OER - the tasks, exercises and activities created will be freely accessible online, as will the planned methodology manual and its translations into different languages. The project contributes to the fact that online teaching and teaching with OER should not only be an emergency solution in the educational process, but its high-quality expansion and supplement to the traditional forms and types of teaching.
