????MOSAIC is studying new #research models that involve collaboration between companies, VET institutions, research organisations, and local entities working in Arts and Crafts. ??In Canada, the project partners encountered an exemplary experience shared by INOVEM - Centre d'innovation (bois et matériaux connexes) / Cégep de Victoriaville / #ENME, which is currently being explored in the project, but there is also another approach to research that can contribute for the quality of the work conducted in MOSAIC at this level - the practices of Ecosistema Artigianelli (Trento), an associated member of Scuola Centrale Formazione (SCF) that is engaged in #appliedresearch. Curious to know how this research system operates? Then check this overview provided by SCF ?? #mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #Cooperation #artsandcrafts #VocationalExcellence #artsandcrafts #ErasmusPlus

??MOSAIC partner Materahub is thrilled to announce the launch of Craftwork 4.0 All, Europe’s first platform for promoting emerging artisans! ??The project, coordinated by Materahub and funded by Creative Europe Programme, will unite creative talents focusing on the perspective of Art, Design and Craft practice from 12 countries to showcase traditional craftsmanship and create new opportunities. ??The platform will run to mobility programs, residencies, academies, and international and local events. For sure that there will be opportunities for the communities of MOSAIC and Craftwork 4.0 All to connect and cooperate in the future, with a positive impact on Arts and Crafts sectors ?? #mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #cooperation #artsandcrafts #VocationalExcellence #ErasmusPlus #CultureAndCreativity #TraditionAndInnovation #communitysupport

?? Exciting updates on MOSAIC project! ??How was the content for MOSAIC “Future of Making” course created? Ville Arpiainen, Assistant Teacher of Furniture making, at #Omnia (FI) explains: ??"Since early 2024, I’ve been working on an #innovative task for MOSAIC "Future of Making in Wood" module, focused on sustainable #carpentry and CNC technology?? My colleague and I developed a hands-on exercise using a 5-axis #cncmachine, based on the flat-pack philosophy, where products are designed to assemble without fasteners. We created a rocking horse that students can make using just the machine, while learning new skills along the way?? ?? In addition to the CNC work, we produced video tutorials to guide students through the exercise, diving into scripting, shooting, and editing. ?? Despite the challenges, the project was incredibly rewarding and a valuable learning experience! ??It was a great opportunity to collaborate with both local and Canadian colleagues, exchange ideas, and grow our understanding of CNC technologies." ??If you are an #artsandcrafts Vocational Education and Training Teacher or Student, and you wish to contribute for #VocationalExcellence in Arts and Crafts, then access to MOSAIC online training platform, test the training modules developed in the project (including the "Future of Making in Wood"), and let us know your feedback?? ??More information available at https://lnkd.in/dJzejnX8 #mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #sustainability #pilottraining #cooperation #partnershipgoals #futureofmaking

??MOSAIC was (re)presented at the 20th Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing, in Norway, by Eva Librán Pérez, from Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne! ??Hosted by UiT - The Artic University of Norway, this Conference aims to be a platform that supports the #AcademicCommunity to share research at EU level (and beyond), providing it with #openaccess, #opendata and #openscience. ????Eva's presentation aimed not only to present MOSAIC and all of the Research conducted so far by the project partners, with participation of key stakeholders from Education and Arts and Crafts sectors (see https://lnkd.in/dUN8CZ_9), but also to present the future European Observatory for Arts and Crafts that is being developed in the project. ??♀?This was a huge opportunity to take MOSAIC farther, to other countries and to 40 key stakeholders from the Academic Community, and a chance for Eva to promote the Observatory as a place where "our knowledge, our research, our network and our experiments to be freely accessible to the entire craft community". ?? ??More news about the "Crafting Your Future" Observatory will be given soon! #mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #researchanddevelopment #VocationalExcellence #ErasmusPlus #aroundtheworld #seminar #knowledgesharing

?? Can you believe that 1 month already passed since all MOSAIC partners crossed the ocean to come to Canada? Time flies! ? The study visit to the Canadian MOSAIC partners Cégep de Victoriaville, #ENME and INOVEM - Centre d'innovation (bois et matériaux connexes) indeed had a positive impact on all of them. ??♀? This was what the French partners had to say about this one of a kind experience ??♂? Chambre de Métiers et de l'Artisanat Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes: “During our time with INOVEM, we gained a deeper understanding of how the organisation is structured within CéGEP and ENME, and how they collaborate closely with companies to foster innovation and sustainable growth. We were particularly impressed by how INOVEM tailors its support to each company’s specific needs, helping them to integrate cutting-edge practices and technologies into their operations.” SEPR: “SEPR’s visit to INOVEM provided valuable insights, sparking new ideas for enhancing collaboration and practical learning in vocational training across Europe. INOVEM’s approach to real-world, applied research offers SEPR a practical model to consider. Building on our current partnerships, we see opportunities to bring industry partners directly into SEPR’s training spaces, creating a more engaging, hands-on experience for students. This experience has reinforced our commitment to supporting industries with relevant skills and knowledge for steady, sustainable growth.” Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne: “At MOSAIC, we strongly believe that R&D should be implemented inside each and every VET centers. We were eager to learn how INOVEM works within the scholar system, and we weren't disappointed! The model offered by INOVEM is well recognized in Québec, and praised by companies. We had the chance to visit some of them and all told us the same thing: " INOVEM resolved an issue that I had in my company. Everyone should mandate INOVEM. So, what are we waiting for? Stay tuned for our next paper to be published: a list of recommendations for VET centres to implement R&D! “ #mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #ErasmusPlus #VocationalExcellence #Cooperation #partnershipgoals #culturalexchange #BestPractices #Crossthepond

??As co-leading partner of MOSAIC dissemination and communication activities, Materahub is very active when it comes to present the project in the different initiatives it is invited to participate. ???? Eleonora Santini (Materahub) participated at the All Digital Summit 2024, held in Madrid (ES) between 15 and 17 of October, and took this opportunity to present MOSAIC. ????Titled "ENGAGED DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP: Connecting for an informed and conscious society", this Summit gathered many European organisations and their experts to engage in discussions and in networking activities, and to share their knowledge and views on the latest developments in digital education and training. ??In synergy with the context and issues addressed in this event, space and emphasis was given to the training resources developed by the MOSAIC project in its #Digitisation module for VET school teachers. ????During a session about "Fostering the digital society", it was possible to deepen and share the concepts behind the MOSAIC Digitisation module that guided the development of its theoretical contents and practical tools: providing the best #digitaltools for teachers to create a learning environment that is as facilitating, inclusive and overcomes inequalities and barriers as possible, a #shiftofmindset that recognises concepts such as #inclusion and #accessibility as priorities, and equipping teachers with tools that can then be applied and chosen in a personalised way by students according to their specific #learningneeds ?? ? More news about MOSAIC Training Modules (including the Digitalisation module presented by Eleonora) and on how VET Teachers and Students can participate on their piloting session will be provided soon! ?#mosaiceuproject #designyourexcellence #dissemination #cooperation #networking #ProfessionalDevelopment #VocationalExcellence #artsandcrafts
