About the DESTINE Project

The Erasmus+ DESTINE project: “DivErSity and Tolerance IN E-Environment” has been established with the vision of fostering an inclusive e-learning VET landscape that embraces diversity and ensures tolerance. The project, involving 7 partners from 6 countries, comes to an end this October after two years of fruitful collaboration between: Osengo (France/coordinator), Akmi Anonimi Ekpaideftiki Etairia & Symplexis (Greece), Bk Consult (Germany), Centrul Pentru Promovarea Invatarii Permanente – CPIP (Romania), Future in Perspective - FIP (Ireland) and Finnova (Spain).

By providing vocational training through online platforms, the project has sought to equip VET teachers, trainers, educators, VET providers, staff and other key-actors with the skills and knowledge required for success in today's digital world while meeting their learners’ diverse learning needs.

DESTINE pilot training workshop successfully organised by Symplexis

Symplexis, as a partner in the Erasmus+ DESTINE Project, organised online a peer learning activity on the 14 of September 2023 with the participation of 12 VET teachers/trainers and internal staff who are directly involved in educational practices and wish to improve their diversity-tolerant e-classroom skills. Similar learning activities have been or will be organised by all project partners within the month.

Symplexis’ pilot workshop has combined online & self-directed training, aiming to provide essential e-tools and online resources to empower professionals to adapt effectively to the e-learning methodology, promoting at the same time diversity, tolerance and inclusion. As a result, participants have enhanced their knowledge and skills in diversity-tolerant e-classroom practices, contributing to the advancement of inclusive education in the VET sector.

At the same time, participants’ constructive feedback will help the project consortium to fine tune the e-learning platform’s development. The project’s e-platform will remain active and as already mentioned it addresses VET teachers/trainers and related staff who want to be better equipped so as to create inclusive and supportive e-classroom environments, fostering a positive impact on both themselves and their learners.
