But what is the project actually about?

The main aim of the B-LAND project is to assist VET educators of low-skilled to become successful entrepreneurs, focusing on small business development. The partnership aims to increase vocational competences of teachers/trainers of entrepreneurship through an innovative pedagogy and approach to teaching with the use of interactive and innovative mobile learning application, applied for agriculture, forestry & rural context.

The following results will be created and implemented by the end of the project implementation period:

  • Training course structure and materials development for 5 learning modules
  • Multilingual APP – INSTANT ACCESS MOBILE CLASSROOM (IAMCP) – ICT tool
  • Best Practices Guide on Entrepreneurial Training & Personal Development in Rural Areas

The main output of this project will consist of multilingual INSTANT ACCESS MOBILE CLASSROOM in the form of 5 short learning modules for innovative VET curricula that will address the most important topics on entrepreneurship education: business modelling, design thinking, business planning or use of ICT tools. Moreover, it will focus on a pedagogical approach on how teachers can develop their skills of personalizing learning and making it more engaging and relevant to young adults from rural areas.

What is more, the B-LAND project approach will prove significant in ensuring people’s enjoyment of motivation and engagement with learning enhancement of their skills. This innovative e-learning approach will be completed by BEST PRACTICES GUIDE, that will contain cases of experienced VET and Formal Education Teachers/Trainers, in order to guide educators on how to equip their students with knowledge and skills relevant for entrepreneurship and personal development.
