On May 6, 2026 the 4nd Evening Vocational High School of Volos visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly to engage in activities related to computational thinking. Computational thinking, a problem-solving process that involves decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and stepwise solution, is particularly important in vocational education, where problem-solving capacity plays a central role and has direct applications in real-world professional settings. The 25 participants/students had the opportunity to reflect on the benefits of computational thinking. Then, they piloted the project-developed resources and conducted activities to reduce a home’s energy consumption across 3 scenarios: winter (cold climate), summer (hot climate), and autumn (no heating or cooling required). Students particularly enjoyed the activities and developed a deeper understanding of computational thinking and its benefits see…

Our latest EAIEN Project newsletter is out with milestones from the past months: Student training in our partnering high schools Green Skills OER Platform officially live at oer.eaien.eu Green Skills Peer Training Exchange in Eskisehir, Turkey Local Observations in Santana, Romania https://www.facebook.com/reel/1277775914422825 From classroom training to cross-border exchange to open resources — this is what an Erasmus+ partnership looks like in action. #EAIEN#ErasmusPlus#GreenSkills#OER#Sustainability

We continue to move forward with great enthusiasm in the development of new resources aimed at bringing computational thinking closer to adult education in an accessible, practical, and meaningful way. The COMPutational Seniors project is designed to support adult educators and trainers in integrating computational thinking into their teaching practice, understanding it not only as a digital competence but also as a way of structuring ideas, solving problems, and making decisions in a more logical and creative manner. In this new phase, we have started working on one of the most dynamic and engaging parts of the project: the creation of the “unplugged” activities box. This will be a set of educational resources that allow learners to explore the foundations of computational thinking without the need for computers or digital…

Moving forward with our EAIEN Project goals! From survey evaluations to OER platform updates, the momentum is high. Next stop: May SC meeting!

The e-Guide is a pedagogical proposal designed to guide trainers in the use and integration of Computational Thinking in the design, preparation and development of their adult training itineraries in both formal and non-formal environments. It includes recommendations, practical cases and learning scenarios, as well as resources for working with especially vulnerable groups of adults. This digital guide has been designed to support professionals and organisations interested in delivering training activities based on the pedagogical principles of computational thinking.

We are making headlines! The Romanian press is highlighting our EcoAI EduNetwork EAIEN Project and the success of our 'Local Observations' student mobility. Alongside our strong consortium, we are bridging the gap between Artificial Intelligence and environmental awareness to redefine the future of education.

Our journey in Santana has come to a beautiful close with our official Closing Ceremony. Receiving these certificates is more than just a formality; it’s a symbol of the hard work, cross-cultural friendships, and sustainable solutions we've built together. From the streets of Santana to the labs of Timișoara, our Green Ambassadors have truly shown that green skills know no borders!

Our Student Green Ambassadors led multiple Raising Awareness sessions at Liceul Tehnologic Stefan Hell during the last days of the mobility! By sharing their findings from the Local Observations, our ambassadors empowered their peers with actionable green skills and sustainability insights. Peer-to-peer education is at the heart of our mission to foster a greener, more conscious future.

On Monday, March 30, 2026, the Creative Technologies Learning Lab organised a multiplier event for the Erasmus+ project ReachOut, which develops a digital learning intervention to support school resilience against natural disasters. The project is highly relevant in the area of Volos and Magnesia, where natural disasters are frequently experienced as floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and others. The project develops educational activities for preparedness against natural disasters that can be integrated into diverse school subjects, ranging from STEM to physical education and art. 30 students and their teachers visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly. Students engaged in both outdoors and indoors activities for promoting collaboration and coordination, becoming familiar with the Earth's mantle, discussing the depiction of natural disasters in art, reflecting on the…
