On 23 September 2025, Budakov Films proudly participated in the Final Conference of the Erasmus+ co-funded project UX@School – User Experience Design for Advancing Digital Education in Secondary Schools, hosted at Florida Campus Alzira in Valencia, Spain. The event brought together educators, researchers, and creative professionals to discuss the transformative role of UX design in digital education and to present the key outcomes of the project.

About the Conference

The conference agenda featured a rich programme of presentations and discussions designed to highlight the achievements of UX@School and to foster dialogue on the future of user experience design in educational settings. After the opening welcome by Juan Garcia, Pedagogical Director of VET Programs, partners and stakeholders presented their work and insights into the project.

Budakov Films, together with Learnable, contributed to the session “UX Design in Education: Overview of the UX@School project”. This was followed by detailed presentations on project outputs, including the UX@School Handbook, the Online Tracking System, and the UX@School MOOC, delivered by AKOE. Partner testimonials and open discussions further enriched the programme, offering participants a deeper understanding of the project’s impact on schools and vocational training environments.

Budakov Films’ Contribution

As a committed consortium partner, Budakov Films played a central role in presenting not only the objectives and progress of UX@School but also the goals, methodologies, and achievements of another Erasmus+ co-funded initiative – CREATIVEinGREEN (Pr. No: 2024-1-PT01-KA220-HED-000247462). This project is dedicated to integrating sustainability and creativity in education, enabling educators and learners to embrace innovative approaches while addressing pressing environmental and social challenges.

At the conference, Budakov Films showcased how the outcomes of CREATIVEinGREEN align with the ambitions of UX@School. Both initiatives share a vision of empowering teachers, trainers, and students through innovative, user-centred methods and tools that improve digital learning environments and foster active engagement. By presenting synergies between the two projects, Budakov Films underscored its strong contribution to advancing European cooperation in education, training, and creativity.

Key Achievements Shared

During the presentation, Budakov Films highlighted several results achieved so far by CREATIVEinGREEN:

  • The development of creative methodologies that embed sustainability into educational practices.
  • The design of digital and media-based tools supporting educators in the integration of sustainable values into their teaching.
  • The active collaboration between higher education institutions, vocational training providers, and creative professionals to ensure practical relevance and high impact.
  • The contribution to European priorities on the green and digital transitions through innovative learning approaches.

Looking Ahead

The Final Conference in Valencia was not only a celebration of the accomplishments of UX@School but also an opportunity to exchange experiences across projects and to envision the next steps in digital and creative education. Budakov Films reaffirmed its dedication to contributing expertise in media, design, and educational innovation to Erasmus+ initiatives and beyond.

Through its dual engagement in UX@School and CREATIVEinGREEN, Budakov Films continues to support teachers, learners, and cultural professionals in embracing the opportunities offered by digital technologies and sustainable creativity.

Conclusion

The UX@School Final Conference demonstrated the power of collaboration, innovation, and European cooperation in shaping the future of education. Budakov Films was honoured to present its work, to share the progress of CREATIVEinGREEN, and to actively engage with partners and stakeholders in Valencia.

This event marked an important milestone in the journey toward more engaging, effective, and sustainable educational environments – a journey Budakov Films remains fully committed to leading and supporting.
