In a significant stride towards educational innovation, Prof. Dr. Petyo Budakov, Managing Director of Budakov Films Ltd, recently showcased the Erasmus+ co-funded project ‘Co-Design Learning For The School of the Future’ at an international meet-up. This event was hosted by the University of Bremen and the Markstones Institute of Marketing, Branding & Technology in Bremen.

During his presentation, Prof. Budakov outlined the project’s primary aims, goals, and the progress achieved thus far. A key highlight of his presentation was the detailed discussion of Work Package 2: Co.De. 4 Teachers. This segment of the project focuses on equipping teachers with the necessary skills, abilities, and knowledge to effectively implement the co-design approach in their classrooms. The specific objectives of this work package include:

• Formalizing the Competence Model: Establishing the skills, abilities, and knowledge required for teachers to utilize the co-design approach effectively.
• Developing an E-Questionnaire: Creating a tool for teachers to self-assess their readiness in adopting co-design learning and methods.
• Creating Micro-Learning Opportunities: Offering “learning snacks” to help teachers bridge potential gaps in their competences and background, enabling them to teach and adopt multidisciplinary co-design learning in their classrooms.
• Enhancing Teacher Competences: Providing training to improve teachers’ abilities in co-design learning and methods.

Prof. Budakov also provided insights into the upcoming Moodle-based online platform, which will be developed during Work Package 3: Classroom. This platform aims to further support teachers and students in adopting and benefiting from the co-design learning approach.

The presentation was met with great enthusiasm, sparking a lively discussion filled with questions, positive feedback, and valuable suggestions from attendees. This level of engagement highlights the importance and potential impact of the project on the future of education.
