FH Joanneum and University of Graz: Prices for innovative educational projects!
The coveted Erasmus+ and ESK Awards 2024 were awarded in Graz on Wednesday evening. Two outstanding projects from the region were honored. The FH JOANNEUM received the Erasmus+ Award for the groundbreaking "Define" project, which helps seniors to improve their online financial competence. The aim is to facilitate older people access to digital financial services in order to increase their participation in financial markets and better protect them from fraud. This innovative project offers extensive training materials based on international standards and are available in several languages, which makes applicability easier worldwide, reported meinzirk.at.
Innovative approaches to education
In addition, the University of Graz was happy about an award. Your “Dialog” project aims to promote the written argumentation skills of secondary school students. Through a novel didactic approach that uses oral dialogues as a bridge to argue in writing, students can deepen their skills based on relevant clima issues such as the need for fast fashion or data volume limits for streaming. In close cooperation with teachers, 18 modules were developed and tested and optimized in countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The materials are important not only for teachers, but also for students in various language courses, such as erasmusplus.oead.at informed.
The project quickly proved to be essential, since argumentation competence is not only fundamental for school success, but also remains essential for active participation in society. The "dialogue" approach creates a connection between theoretical knowledge and practical applications, which helps students illuminate socially relevant topics independently and critically. The projects of both educational institutions emphasize the role of adult and student formation and their adaptation to the digital challenges of our time.
