In the project "Digital InVitation", a total of 10 VET institutions from 8 European countries meet in total 6 times to discuss digitalisation in social work in the field of VET and to present each other with best practice models. All workshops follow the same pattern. Thus, implementation models and / or current developments are presented from all institutions. Following this, an intensive discussion with common conclusions and a so-called SWOT (Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats) -analysis by the participants will be given, recorded and objectifies the respective project dimension. There is a documentation for each workshop, which will also be designed according to a fixed structure. At the end of the project, all documentation and results will be made available to interested parties. For each institution participate max. 3 persons, of which one person is the so-called project coordinator. He/she should participate in all meetings, ensuring continuity in preparation,researches, working, discussion and networking. The other two persons consist of the respective technical expertise necessary for the respective workshop. The topics of the workshops have already been defined: 1. Digital communication (messenger, video chat, etc.) 2. Hardware and regulations 3. Learning platforms, online platforms, online learning 4. Gamification, apps, app rules 5. Health- and generation management 6. Conclusion, results, vision and, if necessary, project development for follow-up The coordinators are responsible for carrying out the research in their own facility and their region, carefully selecting the project participants of their own institution and preparing accordingly. Goals of the project are: 1. Exchange of knowledge and best practice models 2. The project develops the positive use of digital tools in VET 3. Legal certainty: by dealing with regulations and data protection 4. The project develops knowledge management in the institutions. 5. In the project the participants learn from and with each other. 6. Consideration of generation management 7. Internationalization and European attitude 8. Quality improvement in VET 9. Integration of health management and health and safety In addition to the planned project meetings, there will be further online meetings, in which the participating organizations will vote on important milestones and developments and thus experience directly with different media. We expect significant effects from the project for Vocational Education and the well-founded further development of digitization in VET in the social field. Institutions and organizations can develop themselves, based on the experiences of others and implement positive impulses in their structures. This makes training in social areas more attractive and involves the group of disadvantaged target groups (trainees with disabilities). The project makes an important contribution to accessibility and access to vocational training for all. The project takes up current discussions in the field of Vocational Education in social work and seeks to make a significant contribution to the empowerment of education. The workshops and project sections are documented on the basis of a given system and the best practice models are available to a broad public. All institutions are involved in local, regional, national and international networks and will report and share key results. An important effect of the project will also be the development of a common European identity. Through the cooperation and the structured exchange one gets to know the respective way of working and view of the others. This inevitably leads to discussion about attitudes, values and basic assumptions, which promotes and supports the development of a common European perspective. When planning and finding a partner, it was important to map Europe geographically and to bring the strengths and resources of the different vocational training systems and prerequisites into the project. The project can serve as a basis for developing more intensive cooperation and the results should be available in a variety of ways to interested institutions across Europe.
We had several objectives with the project: 1. exchange of knowledge and best practice models. Structured - organised exchange of working models should enable a positive development in the institutions and provide impulses for the further development of digitisation in vocational education and training on site. 2. 2. the positive use of digital tools in VET should be achieved through the experience and knowledge of the participating institutions in the respective focus areas. 3. we wanted to achieve a legally secure approach by dealing with regulations and legal structures (data protection), which often stand in the way of rapid development. 4. take holistic aspects such as health management, occupational health and safety, generation management and knowledge management into consideration and set clear impulses for everyday work. 5. bring internationalisation into the institutions through cooperation and strengthen the European identity and attitude. For many participants it was the first experience of an international project and through the examination of the digital topics international work was anchored in the areas
The topic of digitisation is on everyone's lips and many institutions in vocational education and training urgently need to develop further in order to keep pace with developments. The state of digitisation is very different in many countries, despite the same prerequisites and regulations. It was important for us to look at digitisation holistically and not only in partial aspects, but in many dimensions and thus to get a cross-section of flanking topics as well as wide-ranging impressions of different implementation statuses throughout Europe. In social work and vocational training, social interpersonal contact is very traditional and of immense importance, yet one cannot avoid dealing with digital tools and further developments. We wanted to resolve this apparent contradiction by learning from each other and by organising discussions and spreading positive examples of digitalisation, as well as looking at existing doubts and learning how to deal with them. We brought social work institutions in contact with each other under this focus, enabled learning from each other and created a wide-ranging stage for networking.
