Tools that support educational innovation for staff from the Visual and Performing Arts Education

Educational innovation fosters creativity in all the people who make up educational systems and environments and prepares students to face the challenges of the 21st century. In addition, it promotes equal opportunities by providing access to education through new technologies and inclusive approaches.

For this reason, Inercia Digital organised a week of training for 2 groups of staff from Mikiel Anton Vassalli College (MAVC) in Huelva Spain thanks to an Erasmus+ grand awarded to the College.

During the week from 6 to 10^th November 2023, Inercia Digital have received 5 professionals from Mikiel Anton Vassalli College, for one of their courses on offer “Tools to Support Educational Innovation” at the Digital Inertia Training and Innovation Centre, in Huelva. Mr Chris Borg and Mr Emanuel Cassar from the MAVC Malta School of Drama and Mr Godfrey Mifsud and Mr Hertian Gauci from MAVC Malta School of Music attended to this training together with the Head of College Network Mr Victor Galea.

During this week, the team have worked on how to achieve quality education and all the necessary aspects to be able to apply an innovation project that reverts to more meaningful and impactful processes and results. The beneficiaries familiarised themselves with the effective use of different tools such as Genially, Animaker and Scribe, as well as in innovative methodologies in the classroom to promote two-way and transversal communication processes.

And that’s not all! During the day of good practices, the participants visited the Museum of Huelva, to obtain a cultural perspectiveof Huelva, as well as the Pedagogical Museum of the University of Huelva, where they have been able to appreciate the change that education has undergone during the last century.
