Ensuring the safe participation of children in sports

Written by Chara Pilidou on . Posted in Archived News. No Comments on Ensuring the safe participation of children in sports

CARDET successfully organised an online discussion on the safety and rights of children in sports, with the aim to offer comprehensive information and guidance to key stakeholders in the field. The event was aimed at parents, coaches and sports professionals who had the opportunity to be informed about the existing data and the necessary steps that are needed in order to provide a safe environment for children in sports.

For this reason, local and international experts and representatives of institutions were invited to participate in the discussion. More specifically, the Commissioner for the Protection for Children´s Rights, Despo Michaelidou-Livaniou, the President of the Council FONI, Anastasia Papadopoulou, the Technical Director of Liverpool Academy in Cyprus, Nektarios Alexandrou, and representatives from UEFA Foundation for Children participated in the discussion and shared their experiences and insights.

As more and more children engage in sports activities, it is extremely important that they can safely participate, without any fear. An important parameter to achieve this is the correct information of all bodies and individuals involved in sports, as well as parents and children. This is the main goal of the ACTIVE project, and we are positive that this events will pave the beginning of many more positive discussions and actions around the subject.

ProW – Promoting Teachers Wellbeing through Positive Behaviour Support in Early Childhood Education

Written by Super User on . Posted in Projects & Initiatives. No Comments on ProW – Promoting Teachers Wellbeing through Positive Behaviour Support in Early Childhood Education

ProW is a policy experimentation project aiming to develop evidence-based policies and practices to enhance the teaching profession and elevate teachers’ careers and capacities in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings. ProW is implemented by 11 organisations from Cyprus, Greece, Romania, and Portugal and seeks to put forward, test and formulate policies and mechanisms to empower and support teachers using Positive Psychology and School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) approaches. In doing so, it wishes to build an inclusive positive-oriented school culture in which all children are valued and respected.

Specifically, the project will develop alternative ways to enhance teachers’ motivation and take concrete steps to improve teachers’ competencies, wellbeing, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and reduce burnout levels. Moreover, it will impact policy efforts in the field to scale up and sustain positive behaviour frameworks in ECEC. The project will also improve research knowledge on the effectiveness of Positive Psychology and the SWPBS on teacher’s professional and career development and take concrete steps for the establishment of the European Teacher Career and Wellbeing Observatory.

Global Education is understood as a holistic education dealing with the growing interconnectedness between local and global realities.

Global Education aims at enabling learners to understand world issues while empowering them with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes desirable for world citizens to face global problems.

The overview of the project is to develop, enhance and sustain strategies, competence development and capacity-building for global education, targeting institutions and practitioners from the formal and non-formal educational sector.

CARDET coordinates nationally a network of practitioners to share strategies and practices for increased and improved global education. This networking process is supported through an annual awareness-raising event (Global Education Week), a webpage and social media.

CARDET takes on Horizon 2020 project on science education and sustainability

Written by Super User on . Posted in Archived News. No Comments on CARDET takes on Horizon 2020 project on science education and sustainability

We are excited to announce our involvement in a fascinating Horizon 2020 project, bringing experts from different regions in Europe together, to strengthen educational outside-the-classroom (EOC) networks.

Education outside the classroom (EOC) is when places other than the school are used for teaching and learning. These methods are of great value and is about providing a more exciting and challenging environment for learning, as well as providing students with new experiences to facilitate learning.

OTTER – Outdoor Science Education for a Sustainable Future,is officially in action, aiming to enhance the understanding of EOC methods and pedagogies and how they can help improve the acquisition of scientific knowledge and transferable skills in students. It will also facilitate the strengthening of those networks within Europe, connecting experts from four different regions within the continent; Finland, Hungary, Ireland and Spain.

The project is based on scientific contexts, on the grounds and belief that learning through science enhances the students’ observation, reasoning and argumentation, which are some of the foundations for all learning. It is also concernedwith the field of environmental sustainability and the reduction of plastic waste.

To achieve this goal, a consortium of experts in EOC will be formed, strengthening networks within Europeand building a foundation for the development of EOC pilot schemes.

Furthermore, the partnership aims to identify methods for measuring and accrediting the recognition of knowledge and skills developed via EOC and will seek to enrich the inventory of tools available for future methods of accreditation beyond the end of the project.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates about the project!
