OTHER DISSEMINATION CAMPAIGN
Many efforts has been directed in the creation of a Dissemination campaign through information and communication technologies. The campaign have included:
– CRITICALTHINKING4VET. A project’s website of its own, where a project’s resume has been included, as well as a presentation of the partners, a section for results dissemination, allowing their download, sections from media, and information about activities and events. It has two specific pages oriented to a specific target (teachers and directives of VET CENTERS or CEOs and investigator of TECHNOLOGICAL CENTERS).
– GATEWAY AND ETWINNIG PROJECT. Through the VET CENTERS collaborator, a small project has been created for both platforms. Now we are waiting for their aproval by the enforcement agencies.
– RESULTS PLATFORM OF ERASMUS PLUS. The results has been included in the RESULTS PLATFORM of Erasmus+, as well as websites for dissemination of project’s good practice.
– SOCIAL NETWORKS. A project’s Facebook profile has been created in which the learners themselves will relate their experience, as part of the educative plan as a way to share the experience with other young people, schoolmates and friends. It is intended that it helps other students to overcome their own threats and challenges, by showing the opportunities given by that experience and the results that the participating students have created.
-USING THEFREE PLATFORM ISUU, and its function SmartLook, which allows visualizing documents (pdf, word processor documents, slideshow presentations…) without downloading them, making easier their accessibility and therefore the dissemination of the results.
MEDIA
The partners of the strategical association have been done a great efforts to disseminate in media:
– We have informed to the media directly linked with the partner (like UPV TV, UPV RADIO, UMINHO PRESS)
– External media. A database has been established containing the contact data of the main media, to which have been sent news about the project’s main milestones, beginning, presentation of the results, encounters with organisations, signature of collaborations, etc.
