The event was aimed at students of the vocational training course in CAD/CAM technician in the woodworking sector and their teachers. Around 25 participants attended the event.
During the first part of the morning, Learnable presented the context within which the MakeMyFuture project was created, explaining to the participants the methodology based on making, and the need to realign the vocational training system to the requirements of Industry 4.0.
Afterward, Giulio Gabbianelli (Learnable) gave the main information on the project, duration, consortium, aims and expected results.
He then focused on the first project outcome developed (MakeMyFuture Competence Framework), presenting the content of the document and its aims to the participants.
A QA session was organised to give participants the opportunity to explore the topics of their interest in more depth.
At the end of the event, the project leaflet with all the main information was distributed.
The event was highly appreciated by the students and the teachers, who showed interest in the topic and gained knowledge about the making methodology on which the project is based.
Many of the participants also expressed a willingness to participate in the planned testing phase to help improve the results produced.

ACTIVE - International Teacher Training
ACTIVE – Promoting ACTIVE and Responsible Citizenship In Schools is a cooperation partnership in the School sector (KA220-SCH) funded by the Erasmus+ programme. The project aims to empower pupils to navigate and make an understanding of the world they live in to enable them to act as active and responsible agents in a democratic society.
Learnable is formally the partner organisation responsible for hosting the International Teacher Training aimed to provide secondary teachers with knowledge and skills for implementing the Toolkit, as the first result of the project, in their classroom.
The partnership includes other 6 partners coming from 5 different countries: Gymnázium Josefa Ressela (the coordinator) and Odpovědná společnost, z. s. (Czech Republic), Learnable (Italy), ECECE (Austria), AKADEMIA WSB (Poland), and Sukromna zakladna skola Felix (Slovakia).
Only active and responsible citizens who are open to communicate despite possible differences in values and needs and are able to reflect on the (possible) impacts of their decisions and actions can sustainably guarantee democratic values and democratic society.
On 26 and 27 September, the international teacher training course organised by Learnable staff was held in Pesaro at the Liceo Classico T. Mamiani.
The training was attended by four secondary school teachers from each partner country and the project staff. In Italy, teachers from four schools in the Province of Pesaro-Urbino were involved (Liceo Classico T. Mamiani, Liceo Artistico Mengaroni, Liceo Scientifico, Musicale e Coreutico Guglielmo Marconi in Pesaro and Istituto Istruzione Superiore Polo 3 Fano).
The training focused on the methodologies and activities proposed in the Toolkit, alternating between lectures and group work in which the teachers involved proposed possible activities to be implemented in the classroom by comparing themselves with their colleagues from various European countries.

MakeMyFuture: the first steps in creating the Competence Framework
The first result of the MakeMyFuture project is the Competence Framework based on ECVET and EQF descriptors that will define different profiles according to the areas identified by the partners as relevant for Industry 4.0.
The partnership has already carried out two of the tasks for the creation of the Competence Framework.
In particular, a desk analysis was carried out in each partner country with the aim of selecting and analysing the profiles and skills needed for Industry 4.0 through curricular and educational pathways.
After this phase, Learnable as the leader of this output created an online questionnaire that was submitted to 15 companies or Industry 4.0 experts in each partner country to select the common and most important competences.
Already next week, the results collected during the questionnaires will be analysed and 5 interviews with companies or experts in the Industry 4.0 and/or VET sector will be organised in each partner country to validate the results.
