Giunti Labs has been assigned component 4 of EU Project MEDA-ETE "Education and Training for Employment" for introducing eLearning into African and Middle East Mediterranean countries.
The Education and Training for Employment (ETE) is a regional project being implemented within the Barcelona process, which has identified education and training as the main tools to facilitate the economic and social development of the MEDA region and to achieve the goals of competitive economies in open markets that are set up in the political agenda of the Euro-Mediterranean region.
The project is financed by the CEC through a budget of 5 million Euros and is implemented by the European Training Foundation (ETF), an EU agency active in the field of vocational education and training in the EU's neighbouring countries. The main direct beneficiaries of the project are the governmental structures and other public and private partners involved in determining strategies and policies in the areas of TVET and employment in the ten MEDA partner countries.
Component 4 of the Regional EU project ETE-MEDA aims to achieve a full and thorough knowledge of methodological, pedagogical and technological aspects of eLearning in MEDA countries. The specific goal is to develop and implement a "train the trainers" programme to increase the usage of eLearning in this field.
The project is aimed at assisting the MEDA countries in meeting the increasing demand for new types of qualifications in the labor market; focusing on further development and usage of eLearning in education and training. The Project approach emphasizes high involvement of the target audience in all project phases by strong reinforcement activities. Results will take into account countries' needs and state of the art technological solutions.
The main project beneficiaries will be the teacher training institutions in the MEDA region. The target group will consist of trainers, teachers and managers from training organisations taking part in the planning and implementation of the eLearning programmes, with particular focus on the IT and tourism sectors.
Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs, comments: “eLearning solutions provide necessary tools for meeting the rapidly evolving new requirements of the labor market in the MEDA countries. The interactivity offered by the new learning technologies facilitates the involvement of the target audience in the learning experience, which is one of the focuses in Component 4 of ETE project.”
