The IDEA – Internationalization & Digitalization European Approach project responds to the EU SMEs’ strong need to enter, develop and remain in international business. Idea addresses a topic of transnational relevance with a multi-actor partnership, which will co-elaborate a continuing vocational training program, to be adopted in European countries.

The QUID – QUALITY INCLUSION AN DIGITALISATION project focuses on the development of digital and methodological skills of a pool of teachers from 6 EU countries (IT, TR, ES, PT, PL, MT) favouring their evolution towards the role of Didactic Innovation Advisor, able to govern 4.0 teaching tools and to apply Integrated Digital Teaching methods that are inclusive, interactive, flexible, accessible and personalized.

The FODIGRET: FOSTERING DIGITAL AND GREEN TRANSFORMATION IN SMES project aims to raise the awareness of students, future entrepreneurs or workers in companies, of the importance of the environmental impact of using digital technologies.

The course consists of 4 modules that cover the topics of Institutional framework of SMEs transformation, Digitalization,  Circular economy and Green marketing and are in the form of interactive OERs containing a multitude of further information materials. 

These materials are complemented by two narrative branching scenarios that allow viewers to test their behavioural abilities and their knowledge of the learning contents of the OER, interacting with the simulation of a business context. Viewers are given three possible options to choose who they would behave in that circumstance.
