The "COMPutational Seniors" project develops practical learning materials based on four core principles of computational thinking: Decomposition – breaking complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts; Pattern recognition – identifying similarities, recurring situations, and possible solutions; Abstraction – focusing on the most relevant information; Algorithmic thinking – developing clear, step-by-step solutions. Following the National Pilot Committee meeting in Lithuania, we can conclude that the content developed within the project may be useful not only for seniors, but also for immigrants and other vulnerable groups. These materials can help learners strengthen problem-solving skills, develop greater confidence, and participate more actively in everyday and digital environments.

We proudly brought the EAIEN OER platform to the visionary teachers at Liceul Tehnologic Stefan Hell Santana. In these images, you can capture the excitement of their first hands-on interactions with the platform, unlocking a world of digital and sustainable educational content. It is always an honor to share this journey of discovery with our amazing partners! Explore the platform with them: https://oer.eaien.eu/ #OER#OERPlatform#EAIEN#GreenSkills

We joined the visionary teachers of Çağdaş Schools for their end-of-term professional development seminars to introduce our EAIEN OER platform. In the images, you can witness the teachers’ first interactions with the platform via mobile and web, as they discover digital and sustainable educational content. It was wonderful to share in this excitement of discovery. Join them on: https://oer.eaien.eu/ #OER#OERPlatform#EAIEN#GreenSkills

Today at Fundacja Małopolska Izba Samorządowa, we had the second session of testing the Computational Seniors Learning Boc of Unplugged Activities with a group of seniors from the Kraków-Grzegórzki Senior Citizens’ Activity Centre as part of Erasmus+ COMPutational Seniors project. Seniors tested the “Unplugged Activities” - a specially designed tasks that are carried out entirely without the use of a computer or electronic devices. They practised skills such as decomposition (breaking down large problems into smaller ones), pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking, using examples such as the ‘Smart Family Shopping Planner’ and "Garden Master" activities. Thanks to the active participation of our guests, we gathered very valuable feedback through evaluation questionnaires, which will directly help us improve the educational materials we are preparing before their final publication. The COMPutational Seniors…

Today at Fundacja Małopolska Izba Samorządowa, we had the great pleasure of testing the Computational Seniors Learning Box of Unplugged Activities with a group of seniors from the Kraków-Grzegórzki Senior Citizens’ Activity Centre as part of Erasmus+  Computational Seniors project. What are the “Unplugged Activities” we are testing? These are specially designed tasks that are carried out entirely without the use of a computer or electronic devices. The main aim of this project is to develop key competences and soft skills in adults – particularly seniors – using the principles of Computational Thinking method. The seniors practised skills such as decomposition (breaking down large problems into smaller ones), pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking, using examples such as the ‘Smart Family Shopping Planner’ activity. Thanks to the active participation of our guests, we…

In our COMPutational Seniors project, we have been immersed in a very special phase: the validation of our unplugged activities! During this phase, we tested, observed, adjusted, and tested again activities designed to develop computational thinking skills in an accessible, collaborative, and fun way. Because learning how to solve problems, identify patterns, create algorithms, or think logically does not depend on technology… but on thinking better. On exploring. On making mistakes. On trying again. We continue building inclusive, dynamic, and human-centered activities to bring digital skills closer to everyone. #ComputationalThinking#Unplugged#ComputationalSeniors#DigitalSkills#CreativeLearning#ComputationalThinking#Innovation#Education#ErasmusPlus

This was the opening question asked by the associate professor dr. Ligita Zailskaitė-Jakštė, when introducing the Erasmus+ project “Enhancing Low Qualified Adults’ Inclusion through Computational Thinking (COMPutational Seniors).” The project was presented during the project “Advances in Information, Automation and Electrical Engineering (ENERGYCOM)” partner event held on 14–15 May at the University of Iceland (Iceland). The event brought together researchers from several European universities, including UiT The Arctic University of Norway (Norway), Reykjavik University (Iceland), University of Tartu (Estonia), Riga Technical University (Latvia), Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia), University of Vaasa (Finland), and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Lithuania). The presentation highlighted key milestones achieved within the project. In particular, WP3 resulted in the development of the “COMPutational Seniors e-Guide for Adult Trainers,” while WP4 focused on the creation of unplugged…

Across Europe, academic catalogues remain fragmented, inconsistent, or difficult to navigate. For mobility staff, this means time-consuming processes and uncertainty. For students, it can mean missed opportunities. After three years of research, mapping, and collaboration with higher education institutions, the DACEM project is bringing forward concrete answers: What is the current state of academic catalogues in Europe? What needs to change? And how can we move towards more accessible, interoperable, and user-centred systems? https://projects.uni-foundation.eu/dacem/ Join the final event to explore these questions with peers, experts, and policymakers.
