Blended Learning and Education for the Future
Being an Active Citizen for Climate Change
In recent years, the deterioration of the ecosystem with anthropogenic effects and accordingly environmental events such as global warming, greenhouse effect, depletion of the ozone layer and climate changes have increased rapidly. Parallel to this, it has become an increasingly common view that education is the leading solution for raising environmental awareness. In particular, raising individuals at the desired level in solving environmental problems that concern all societies can only be realized with the importance given to environmental education. Environmental problems do not concern only one region of our planet or a particular country, but the whole world. Therefore, environmental education becomes an integral part of the education program of every country.
To Develop Students’ Creativity and Social Skills: DRAMA WORKSHOPS
Education is a field in which skills, attitudes and values in social life are acquired.
Today, it is expected from the teacher to direct the education process, to create a step for education and to place the student at the center of education. Teachers are not seen as the absolute authority in the learning environment, they ensure that the student acquires relevant information efficiently.
The teacher is also considered as a supportive guide for individuals who discover, learn and make sense.
Teachers are expected to see the differences between their students, create enriched learning environments for them, and support the educational process with relevant materials. A learning environment where students can express themselves freely and show their presence in the learning process is important. For this reason, it will be insufficient to use only traditional methods such as the narration method or the method of asking questions and getting answers.
The drama method forms the basis of the “live and learn” method. Drama is the imitation of a purpose or idea about the lives of a group and animals using improvisation or animation techniques. Drama is to enliven an experience, an event, an idea. Sometimes in the process of individually “playing” the meaning of a concept or behavior, group work is done using improvisation, role playing, theater or drama techniques. According to another understanding, drama is an approach that will enable individuals to become individuals as an educational method, a creative field of education and a discipline.
This course will enable students to use drama as a learning tool to improve their creativity and social skills.
Digital Tools for an Innovative Classroom
The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education can significantly contribute to a quality education and its effectiveness. This course is planned for teachers of all disciplines who want to increase their competence in using technology in the classroom. All participants aiming to use open educational resources, gain new skills, create an exemplary course and raise awareness about the possible disadvantages of ICT in education
Flipped Classroom
IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THERE IS A SOLUTION TOO.
The classroom should be flipped in the events of students’ indifference to the courses, copying their homework, not acquiring the subjects taught, missing all the lectures in case of not being present in the classroom, fast learners’ getting bored of the slow course, dropping out of the lessons and schools etc. We can eliminate these problems with Flipped Classroom, a new pedagogical approach to learning. With this course, you will not only learn about Flipped Classroom, but also practice it. So, at the end of our course, you will have a viable Flip example.
Digitalization and Environmental Issues: Eco-centric approach
Environmental problems and climate change are critical issues to be addressed worldwide. Digitalization can provide us with enormous sources for developing projects regarding global warming, renewable energy, climate change, and zero-waste. This course is aimed to address environmental problems with the help of digital tools. It offers a unique approach through the combination of the two.
Strategies for CyberBullying Prevention and Response
The act of cyberbullying is defined as when someone bullies through electronic means such as cell phones, computers, and tablets. The act of bullying includes posting, commenting, threatening, and messaging inconvenient, harmful, negative, or abusive content. Due to the dramatic increase in digital activities and usage of social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snap Chat, Twitter, etc.), the risks of exposure to cyberbullying for children and teenagers are critically high. Because it usually occurs through SMS, direct messages, game applications, or online forums. Some acts of cyberbullying are subject to unlawful and criminal activities too. Therefore, this course targets providing teachers’ development on the issue.
For Teachers: New Strategies for a Positive and Happy School
Today’s learners, teachers, and school leaders are under stress from many sources: COVID-19 disruptions to learning and behavioral development, a climate crisis, geopolitical conflicts, massive refugee movement, wealth and health inequality, and the negative impact of social media on happiness and well-being. High-stakes testing of children at school has created pressure-filled school settings negatively impacting student health and happiness and positioning learning as a means to future success, rather than a lifelong practice.
Happiness is subjective and the definition may change according to culture but common to schools is that they can support the well-being of individuals, families and communities. A happy school is a place where the principles of compassion, communication, and community-building are priorities.

Active Learning through Project-Based Education
This course is designed to help teachers enhance active learning in their classrooms through the use of project-based education. Project-based learning (PBL) fosters problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration while creating an active learning environment. According to Thomas (2000), PBL significantly increases students’ deep learning experiences and helps retain knowledge over time. Furthermore, Barron & Darling-Hammond (2008) emphasize the role of PBL in developing students’ social skills.
Course Methodology
The course is based on hands-on activities and group work, focusing on how to effectively implement project-based education and active learning techniques. Participants will create their own projects to experience how this method can be applied in their classrooms. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, supported by references from reliable sources such as the EU, OECD, and UNESCO.
Course Objectives
- Teach participants the methods of project-based education.
- Develop projects that actively engage students in the learning process.
- Foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through project-based education.
- Integrate project-based learning strategies into classrooms in line with Erasmus+ priorities.
Learning Outcomes
- Participants will acquire the skills to implement project-based education in their classrooms.
- They will develop projects that actively engage students in the learning process.
- Participants will enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills through PBL.
- They will apply digital tools to support project-based learning strategies.
