Train the Trainer I in Greece
The BIG ART Train-the-Trainers Bootcamp brought VET educators from Israel, Albania and Greece together in Athens for an intensive week of AR/VR training, collaboration and practical experimentation.
Building Teaching Capacity
The training aimed to strengthen the pedagogical and technological skills of VET trainers, with a particular focus on Matterport technology, 3D Digital Twins and the creation of immersive virtual tours for vocational education.
Learning by Doing
The programme combined lectures, hands-on workshops, practical laboratory sessions and collaborative project-based activities, allowing trainers to directly experience how immersive technologies can be integrated into teaching.
From Digital Twins to classroom practice
The bootcamp combined technical knowledge with pedagogical application, helping educators connect new technologies with their own vocational specialisations.
