Corfu 3rd High School joins new Erasmus ΄XPLORE΄ programme
CORFU. They visited Bucharest, Romania, where teachers from schools in Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Corfu met.
The Erasmus team of the Corfu 3rd High School made its first visit in December as part of the new programme that will be implemented during 2023-2025 and received a very good evaluation (97/100) during the approval process. The acronym XPLORE stands for "Experiencing Platforms for orientation redesign". The aim of the project is to create a virtual reality platform for the redesign of vocational guidance. This new platform based on gamification will be a new tool with which pupils will be transported into a virtual world to discover their skills and talents. This will be an unprecedented experience for those involved.
They visited Bucharest, Romania, where teachers from schools in Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Corfu met. The Corfu 3rd High School was represented by the teachers Kontostanos Spyridon, Polymeris Gerasimos, Gasteratos Gerasimos and Hondroyianni Fotini. The scientific partner of the project is the Technical University of Bucharest.
During the meeting, a detailed presentation of the project was made and the exact timeline for the implementation of the "work packages" in which this new project is divided was defined. They also had the opportunity to get to know Bucharest, which was a pleasant surprise for them with its architecture, museums and rapid development.
The Erasmus KA220 projects are a special activity for the teachers involved, giving them the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that will benefit them in their work.
The paedagogical team consists of Kontostanos Spyros (coordinator), Polymeris Gerasimos, Hondroyianni Fotini, Gasteratos Gerasimos, Koyevina Elisavet, Eskitzioglou Aggelos, Agathos Stamatis, Diamantidou Elpida, Fortosis Ioannis. The principal of the 3rd High School is Mrs. Iphigenia Rakopoulou.
