INSIGNARE - ASSOCIACAO DE ENSINO E FORMACAO, Portugal
INSIGNARE is a non-profit association located at Ourém, Portugal. We have several working areas -two VET secondary schools, with 600 students (EPO - Ourem Vocational School and EHF - Fátima Hospitality Vocational School), from 16 to 19 yo, one local employment centre (GIP) and one guidance and validation centre (CQ). EPO - Ourém Vocational School has Management, IT, Metalworking/CNC, Design, Electronics, Car Mechanics. Our students come from two regions, as our municipality is the border between those two - we cover an area of almost half a million
inhabitants: the VET schools and the adult center have a regional scope, but the employment service is local. Both cities are mainly rural. Most of our students wish to go to the labour market, but some wish to carry on to higher education. We are owned by the Local Municipality and by the local Business Association, which provides us very good links with public and private stakeholders. We’d
like to join in this project as we feel the need to diversify and upgrade our traditional teaching methodologies. Although we have the IT resources – robotics, 3D printers, computers with design software - most of our teachers don’t use them often and in a structured way. Therefore, the project would be important for our students to push their teachers towards a more intense usage of digital tools, as well working collaboratively with their teachers on digital tools to increase their learning
results. Teachers would also benefit from sharing experiences, problems, solutions and best practices with their colleagues from partner countries.
