Multiplier event in Spain

A multiplier event of the Flip-IT! project was held on 29 November 2017 in the Campus of Villaviciosa de Odón of Universidad Europea de Madrid.

The aim of the event was to inform Spanish teachers and trainers about the objectives and outcomes of the project, as well as, to encourage them to participate in the pilot course developed in the project.

The event began with a plenary session in which the project was presented framed in a Workshop of Innovation in Vocational Education and Training (VET). A representative of the National Institute of Educational Technologies and Teacher Training from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain was invited to present the current initiatives in teacher training. Later, teachers were invited to participate in a workshop focus on the module contents developed for the FLIP IT! project. The workshop was collaborative and teachers participated actively showing their enthusiasm in the methodology and in the structure and course contents developed.

After this event, we are even more confident in the need of innovating in Vocational Education and Training. Teachers showed their interest in learning more about flipped learning and showed very enthusiastic in the potential positive effect of this methodology in VET.
