Our Nicosia eAccessibility Workshop will be taking place in the framework of the EU Code Weeek, most likely within the first week of Novermber 2014. The aim of the event is to bring people (young and older adults, students, youngsters, professionals, public in general) closer to the concepts of embedding accessibility features when developing ICT assets. We want to increase sensitivity of coders and ICT users towards fully accessible material. According to our provisional programme, the content will host: 1. A presentation on how people with vision difficulties can make best use of the NVDA Speach-to-Text tool when accessing Internet services. Emhpasis will be also given to the limitations of the tool and the need for the Internet applications to take accessibility into account at design and development phases. (The talk will be given by Mr Christos Demetriades, the Digital Agenda Cyprus Young Advisor). 2. A short workshop on how to create an accessible presentation using Microsoft Powerpoint 3. A short workshop on the basics of how to build accessible Websites and Web services 4. A presentation on how to use the accessibility features of widely-adopted social media, like twitter, youtube, facebook, etc. We look forward to meeting you there!

Rocking and Rolling: Outdoor learning and play_#eTwinnovation
Mon, Nov 13, 2023 7:00 AM

The Project Rocking and Rolling: Outdoor learning and play is focused on ideas for outdoor education. Outdoor education in kindergarten acts as a dynamic tool, promoting interdisciplinary learning while creating narrative frameworks. It creates a real-world framework where young students can actively engage in various disciplines through hands-on experiences, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and increased environmental awareness. This project's primary aim is to explore the integration of outdoor education with interdisciplinary learning in kindergarten, emphasizing its numerous benefits such as communication, collaboration, creative and critical thinking, active citizenship, sustainability, developing self-confidence, independence and self-esteem. Outdoor environments offer a captivating backdrop where students witness the convergence of different scientific disciplines, including biology, ecology, geology, sociology,literature, mathematics and environmental education. The challenges posed by outdoor settings, such as addressing complex scientific issues, demand an interdisciplinary scientific approach, resulting in compelling narratives. Hands-on experiences further enrich these stories as kindergarten students collect data, conduct experiments, and make observations in the natural world. Interdisciplinary learning cultivates critical thinking, an essential element in crafting captivating narratives, as students analyze problems from diverse angles and develop creative solutions, injecting depth into their stories. Collaborative projects foster teamwork, communication skills and scientific awareness, enabling students to weave themes from various scientific fields into their narratives. The project attempts to initiate a discussion about the inclusion of outdoor play in kindergarten curricula as a move towards a more outdoor approach to early childhood education. The implementation of this project aims to raise students’ interest in science and environmental issues, foster an appreciation and responsibility for the natural environments. A number of activities will be proposed to ensure that kindergarten children benefit from their early involvement in activities outside the classroom while teachers and children from partner schools will actively participate in the planning and implementation of educational activities in the outdoor environment and have the opportunity to be engaged in a creative and playful process of learning. Children will play and learn together while the use of ict tools and programming/coding activities will enhance their outdoor learning experiences. Outdoor play in kindergartens could be a continuation of indoor education, supporting children to live healthier physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual lives by transforming learning into an exciting adventure.
