▶Objectives
The goal of the project was to improve the teaching of professional graphic design subjects adapted to the labor market in partner schools in Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Portugal. The specific goals are: A detailed analysis of the plans and programs of teaching professional subjects of graphic design in these four countries with emphasis on good practices and deficiencies in teaching in order to develop modern teaching. Creation of a digital textbook for the subject of graphic design that is adapted to the labor market and current software solutions. Improving knowledge and software skills of teachers. Establishing a network between schools in order to cooperate and improve teaching.
▶Activities
The activities of this project are: Detailed analysis of the curriculum in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Portugal. Writing a digital graphic design manual that has a content adapted to the labor market and modern software. Training for teachers to improve knowledge and software skills as well as use of the newly developed manual. Testing of textbooks in the form of five-day lessons of all partner schools. Analysis and Handbook Promotion Conference. Promotion of the manual through media, internet, eTwining events and meetings.
▶Impact
The implementation of this project contributed primarily to a better understanding of the current situation in the teaching of this group of subjects and pointed out the shortcomings of parts of the curriculum that need to be upgraded, modernized and adapted to the labor market with current software used for work. One of the main results of this project is the creation of a digital handbook, which until now has not existed in teaching in this content and which will bring refreshment to the school system. This innovation also influenced teachers who improved their knowledge and skills, which they will pass on to the next generations. Also, we expect that the analysis we conducted will affect the umbrella educational institutions in these countries in systemic changes to plans and programs. With this project, we have achieved a continuation of the network of partnerships with future partners that will cooperate in the future and after completion in the improvement of teaching and cultural events. And the most important result of this project is the improvement of students' knowledge and the availability of textbooks that they will use in class.
