The aim of the SEAL-NR project is to develop, through the use of virtual exchange technologies and the creation of a virtual hub, a system of international cooperation in the field of education between universities and youth organizations from different countries, focused on youth in general. and in particular migrants, who will help these young people, through an interactive online learning system, receive informational and psychological support, develop digital and soft skills for the future, raise awareness of EU policy technologies in the field of entrepreneurship and digital transformation, which in turn will allow to bridge the gap between the requirements of the modern labor market and educational processes and increase the level of mastery of 21st century skills.
Expected results: The SEAL-NR project uses both synchronous and asynchronous virtual exchange (VE) technologies to build 21st century skills among educators and young people. The initiative, targeting 250 tutors and 2,500 young people aged 16-30 from different socio-economic backgrounds in Poland, Latvia, North Macedonia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan, promotes the development of digital and communication skills, facilitates psychological adaptation to emergencies and stimulates entrepreneurship.
Structured around three key components, the project offers:
1) advanced training in VE technologies for facilitators, increasing their ability to use digital platforms and adapt educational products for online formats;
2) developing youth skills through 16 trainings that divide the focus between “21st Century Skills” and “Socio-psychological Adaptation”, aimed at developing critical thinking, media literacy and employability in the digital economy;
3) Creating a European Virtual Center for Education and Adaptation in Emergency Situations at KNUTD, which will become a central resource for online courses and continuous learning materials. Holding an International Business Ideas Competition will further stimulate innovation and practical application of acquired skills.
