The European project BRIGHTS: “Bringing HEIs Towards Sustainability“, held its Kick-Off Translational Project Meeting, with the physical presence of the partners on the 19th and 20th of May, 2022 at University of Pavia, Italy.

It was a very productive Kick-Off Meeting, allowed the consortium to meet up for the very first time for the #ErasmusPlus #BRIGHTS project.

From our Mr. Stylianos Argyrou participated.

The first Debate event in the context of the “Rural Plus” Erasmus+ Project was organised on the 10th of May, at 18:00, by the SEIT Lab, UCY, in Cyprus.

The event was held in a blended manner: some participants joined us at the premises of the University Campus, while others joined online through zoom.

The debate was held in the format of a focus group. From UCY, the hosts Evangelia Vanezi and Constantinos Tefkros Loizou were posing specific questions about the topic of Sustainability in Rural Areas. Five selected participants, two members of the communities councils, and three representatives of the youth of rural areas comprised our panel of experts:

Andreas Kyprianou, President of the Community Council of Paliometoxo
Dimitris Anastasiou, Member of the Community Council of Kornos
Marios Kyprianou, resident of Paliometoxo
George Zampa, resident of Aradippou
Maria Anastasiou, resident of Kornos

The experts shared their opinions and knowledge on the matter in a very constructive and fruitful way.

UCY will analyse the qualitative data gathered and will extract useful results for the next steps of the project, towards helping the communities of rural areas learn about and understand the EU finding programmes and the way they can apply, and receive funding towards addressing some of the issues they are facing.

Low energy bluetooth (BLE) technology

Our displays will be based on the Android operating system and will be equipped with 3G, WI-FI and BLE connectivity ( Bluetooth Low Energy ).

BLE devices do not have a direct internet connection, which is why they allow much more stable connection and tracking stability. They also consume very little energy, and can interface with each other as needed.

We are responsible for the technical part of the project! We created certificates for users when they answer the questionnaire. There are 4 certificates depending on the user’s score in the questionnaire. The blue one is for users with score less than 15.5, bronze for score higher than 15.5 and lower than 27 points, silver for score higher than 27 and lower than 43 and gold for score higher than 43. Below you can see what the gold certificate looks like.

On the 4th, 5th and 6th of April, the 4th Transnational Partner Meeting of the project “TOOLS” was hosted by our university in Nicosia. It was lovely to have our partners here in Cyprus.

The Project stems from the belief that foreign languages, English in particular, form a very powerful platform for enhanced education and personal development for learners with different individual needs. However, EFL teachers must have effective awareness of a variety of needs and cope with them in their lessons. The project main goal is to prepare pre- and in-service EFL teachers to face diversity in the EFL classroom.
