In today's world, energy saving by efficient use of existing energy is a very important subject matter. Lighting systems has come to the fore as the most important element of the energy efficiency. technically skilled workforce is needed for the installation of the dynamic lighting systems and ensuring the sustainability. However, there is not any specific course about smart lighting systems in the current curriculum of the electric-electronic departments in the vocational high schools. Therefore, vocational high school students do not have chance to learn smart lighting technology through their vocational education. Although the energy efficiency has been increasing in importance and smart lighting sector has been growing, technical staff insufficiency is a major problem of the labor market. Since the vocational school graduates are not qualified enough and not equipped with technical knowhow, they are not able to meet the needs of smart lighting market.Our project is derived from the mentioned needs of vocational school graduates and the ligting sector. Based upon the problem of distinction between market demands and vocational education, aims of the project are explained below.The main aim of the project is to provide vocational school graduates employment opportunities in the energy sector with the knowledge and knowhow of smart/dynamic lighting. Within the project, it is aimed to support the development of high quality vocational education with a strong work-based learning component. Through the project, an e-learning program, simulation software and experimental kit about dynamic lighting for the vocational education institutions have been developed in order to equip vocational school graduates for the labor market. By creating these outputs, it was intented to provide the students of vocational training institutions to be able to graduate with an industry knowledge about dynamic lighting and to be ready for the sector. Besides,with the help of details and pictures of manifacturing phase of experimental kit, other vocational high schools will be able to produce an experimental kit for their own.

"The aim of the EARLYCODE project was up-skilling preschool teaching undergraduates on Computational Thinking and Coding Education and equipping them to inspire and teach children computational thinking principals utilizing effective, innovative and engaging methods. The project intended to improve capacity within the education sector to provide high quality computational thinking teaching at preschool level in the partner countries. The project specifically targeted higher education students studying to become preschool teachers. EARLYCODE project focused on developing teaching materials for Preschool Education undergraduates, lecturers and preschool teachers on computational thinking and introduction to coding.Pupils with computational thinking skills are better at understanding and using computer-based technologies, which are necessary for today’s world and the future. Enhancing the computational thinking and teaching coding, encourages pupils to create and develop new products instead of just being passive users of technology. Early childhood education from 4-6 years is a very critical period for the development of children before they start primary school. In a world, in which 21st century skills are linked to technology based innovations, fostering computational thinking skills will provide children to be effective decision makers, problem solvers and developers of the world. Considering the above mentioned aim and requirements, three main outputs were designed, developed and made available within EARLYCODE project:1. Computational Thinking & Coding for Children"" Course Curriculum: ""Computational Thinking & Coding for Children"" course is developed for Early Childhood teacher undergraduates to develop an understanding of the current needs in Computational Thinking (CT) and Coding in Early Childhood Education. 2. Handbook of Teaching Materials: Handbook of Teaching Materials include educational resources for fostering and developing computational thinking and introduction to coding. This handbook is explicitly designed for teachers who want to develop their knowledge in teaching Computational Thinking and Coding in Early Childhood Education and to obtain further tools and strategies to improve their teaching skills.3. Manual for Computational Thinking and Introduction to Coding: The Training Manual on Computational Thinking and Introduction to Coding for Preschool Education has been developed in order to guide trainers and lecturers to implement the course curriculum in Early Childhood Education programs. The project team consisted of Educational Technologists, Early Childhood Education specialists, Coding and Robotic experts, researchers and project experts from 5 different countries (Turkey, Italy, Latvia, Northern Ireland and Romania). This strong consortium of the project team resulted in high quality and innovative project results and also effective dissemination. All intellectual outputs were also translated in local languages of partner countries and disseminated.Participants of the project were undergraduates of Early Childhood Education. Project team reached a big number of undergraduates as target group. Three of the project partners are universities. University lecturers and preschool teachers were also included in the project process. Dissemination process, multiplier events and other local activities had a target group consisting of teacher candidates, preschool teachers, researchers, managers, lecturers and other stakeholders. EARLYCODE project intended to cover all relevant teaching materials in order to reach its aim and developed a comprehensive solution to the problem; ""How to improve children's computational thinking skills and teach them basic coding principles and how educate preschool teacher candidates for this purpose?"". In this point of view, materials and outputs were developed considering Early Childhood teacher undergraduates, lecturers, teachers and children. A lecturer of an Early Childhood Education program has now a curriculum to be implemented and a manual ragarding basic subject matter knowledge and also how to implement the curriculum. A teacher candidate is now able to attend the ""Computational Thinking & Coding for Children"" course in order to be ready for teaching coding and developing computational thinking skills of their future students/children. They will also benefit from ""Handbook of Teaching Materials"" which includes basic information, teaching materials, activity plans and other resources. An inservice preschool teacher can also take advantage of the Handbook of Teaching Materials. Interested universities/institutions are able to access project outputs. Some universities from partner countries have already started attempts to teach the course as elective in their Early Childhood Education programs. In addition, inservice preschool teachers have started to utilize project outputs. EARLYCODE team will go on providing support for stakeholders."

Teaching and learning habits have changed through home and online education because of Covid-19. The Covid-19 outbreak and online learning obligations forced many teachers to switch to hybrid education methods. The education systems are also going through a digital transformation phase worldwide. However, recent surveys showed that less than 40% of educators felt ready to use digital technologies in teaching and there is an urgent need for a well-prepared set of training materials for teachers. (https://ec.europa.eu/education/education-in-the-eu/digital-education-action-plan_en)Digitizing education comes with its advantages and teachers gain more access to various sources of data and knowledge. This resulted in making education activities more interactive and engaging for students. With Covid-19 outbreak Hybrid Education term was added to our repertoire. Hybrid education combines traditional education and online learning. It emphasizes using the best option for each learning objective. Hybrid classrooms vary according to the specific needs of learners.In today’s world, using digital tools has become crucial. Technological developments affect education significantly. With the improvements of Web 2.0 tools, new educational approaches are formed. Using Web 2.0 tools in education provides a more adequate teaching environment. Letting students be more active in the classroom or increasing the efficiency of distance education are the main benefits of using Web 2.0 tools in education. This project will be carried out by a partnership between organizations from Latvia, Austria, Turkey, Portugal, Czech Republic, and Spain. The main purpose of this project is to enable primary and secondary school teachers to use Web 2.0 tools and increase the quality of hybrid education. The project outcomes will help teachers improve their digital skills and their profiles of teaching professions. The target group of the project is primary and secondary teachers. Also, representatives of public bodies, representatives of private and public educational institutions and national curriculum councils, academicians who work on hybrid education and Web 2.0 tools fields, educational authorities are the people this project aims to reach. More than 250 teachers will be involved in the key activities of the project such as pilot scheme, workshops, and multiplier events. Besides, thousands of teachers and educational administrators in partners’ networks will directly be benefited from this project. This project aims to guide primary and secondary teachers to learn the usage of digital tools for primary and secondary teachers. For this purpose we will develop;- A Curriculum (IO1) that will serve as a route for teachers to understand the steps they need to achieve in order to develop their skills on Web 2 tools. The curriculum provides teachers with the theoretical steps of Web 2.0 tools- Modules and Video Series (IO2) which will be useful for increasing teachers’ skills of Web 2.0 tools- E-learning Platform (IO3) which will be provided with the appropriate equipment and help teachers- Digital Guide Tool (IO4)This project methodology will encourage the teachers for their professional development and follow their own progress by using an OER platform. During the development of the curriculum and modules desk studies and literature reviews, state of art analysis, workshop methods will be followed. Video series and e-learning platform will be developed through the technical support from the project partners.The training program, the pilot scheme, workshops, multiplier events will be the key activities in order to reach target groups, participants, and stakeholders. These activities will also help in the dissemination of the project.Teachers will acquire the competence of finding new educational approaches, methodologies, and materials as a result of our project. As the times like we are going through nowadays, people have to keep on their life with a social distance. As a consequence of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have to move to hybrid education. In order to achieve success in hybrid education, Web 2 tools are crucial. This project will help teachers to get ready for emergency circumstances. Teachers will benefit Web 2 tools in creating online classes, online quizzes/exams.In the long term, adopting web 2.0 tools in hybrid education practices will help to improve the quality of the education process. This will lead to an improvement in the overall quality of the education system and empower students’ with the critical skills that they need to be more prepared for a more dynamic future. This project will cover a leak which is a lack of knowledge about digital tools. This will be positively reflected on the quality of educational activities in classrooms and the level of students; performance and engagement with the content of their studies. Also, this will help improve the overall productivity of teachers

Aim of the project is improving skills and qualificants of cancer patients and their families, who are in the post-treatment phase, in order to enable them to support and care themselves at home. Since, post-treatment process lasts extended period of times and these patients need regular medical counselling for support, provision of this support by regular hospital visits is an inefficient process for both health providers and patients. In order to provide a more effectual health support for cancer patients and their families, the project consortium under the leadership of Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital plan to employ ICTs. Consisting of Oncology Hospital, ANT Foundation, APEC Education, Phoenix Institute and Previform, the consortium is going to develop three intellectual outputs. There will be an e-book containing education modules about palliative care for cancer patients in post-treatment period. The second output will be educational video series. The series will contain practical information about cancer patient care at home. The video series will explain how to implement patient care procedures at home and explanations are going to be made by medical personnel. The third one will be a digital education are for cancer patients and health providers in the field of oncology services. The area will serve as a social solidarity portal for cancer patients and their relatives. Updates, news and events related with member organisations, articles published by medical personnel of the member organisations, information regarding medical services in proximity will be available the area.There were an estimated 1.4 million new cases of cancer in men and 1.2 million in women in the EU in 2018. In Turkey, cancer is the result of 1 of 5 deaths in 2018. Considering the large amounts of people who are in need of continuous medical support after the treatment process in both Turkey and the EU, the necessity to add transnational dimension into this project becomes evident. The project will be managed in a systematic manner. Partners will regulary meet in face to face and in Skype meetings. Cloud storage will be used for cooperation and document share. Regular supervision and reporting will ensure the quality of project management. An effective dissemination plan will be executed in order to reach maximum amount of people who are in target groups. Multiplier events will be held in medicine conference format for promoting the project results.Upon the completion of the project, the first imminent results we expect is that cancer patients and their families will be able to access tools to equip themselves with information and skills which are needed to support the patient in the post-curation stage. Palliative cancer care skills will be ready to be gained for adults via project results. Finally, there will be a sustainable and lasting platform for health providers to use for providing better post-treatment support.

Agroheritage is the collection of local plant varieties (landraces), local animal breeds, traditional agricultural techniques, uses and knowledge developed by people through ages. These have been the basis of modern agriculture and medicine. Due to their high genetic diversity of landraces, they have a huge variety in shape, color, taste, nutritional value, pathogen/disease resistance and climate adaptation. These properties have been used to develope modern cultivars. Similarly, the diversity of local animal breeds are being used for modern livestock breeding. In contrast to the crucial importance of these agroheritage elements for human survival as being food, raw material for clothing, construction and health; instensive use of modern plant cultivars and livestocks have resulted in discontinuation of these elements. In other words, traditional seeds, animals and knowledge are being lost day by day. So, genepol required for sustainable agriculture has been diminishing. This situation has been emphasized by many international organizations such as FAO, UNDP and EU, and have been proposed to take action on awareness raising, encouragement and support of local people to continue/restart planting/rearing landraces. The most effective way to conserve agroheritage is to show people that they are useful and valuable. This fits within the scope of the work of agricultural proffesionals. Therefore introduction of this concept into higher education agenda will built a base for sustainable investment for agriculture. The more qualified agriculturalists the more effective he/she is in the agricultural community. The objective of the project is to offer a comprehensive course curriculum with free online learning material supported by hands-on trainings to agricultural students and this will acquire awareness and skills of them for revealing, conserving, reproducing, disseminating and promoting agroheritage in their future proffesional life. Another objective is to increase students’ knowledge and capacity by presenting them international information, examples, best experiences and interactions. So that they can lead farmers by being innovative, creative and cooperative in utilizing agroheritage. Although the end user of this course will be undergraduate agricultural students, everyone having internet acces can utilize online learning materials. In the Project, the educational curriculum framework will be established by literature survey on agroheritage and by exchanging ideas, information and discussions with stakeholders via workshops, questioneers and interviews. The next step is to prepare the learning materials of this curriculum. Video lectures, videos of case studies and best practices, oral history and interviews and other information related to agroheritage will be produced as field study. Other training resources (excersizes, quizzes, homeworks, exams, evaluation questioneer), an e-book and a virtual learning map will be compiled with literature surveys and gathered information from field studies. To support the online learning materials, hands on training applications are planned: an agroheritage permenant education exhibition with physical objects and digital means will be prepared for examining agroheritage elements complementary to the course. The other complemantary one is a proposal a technical visit schedule (to national gene banks, herbariums, best practices in the farm) and a volunteer summer internship program for training these in the field. All these outputs of the project – curriculum, e-learning materials and exhibitions – will be designed for longterm use. By opening the educational material freely to public via internet also in English will result in an international permanent progress even long after. As a result, this learning and training opportunity will serve to undergraduate agricultural students to get skilled in agroheritage matters so that they can lead agricultural community in their future proffesional life. The ultimate expected impacts of the project are increased awarenes of the community on agroheritage which will result in taking action on conservation and continous use of its elements for future food safety, agricultural sustainability and human health.
