Testimonials
Belgium Testimonial
During the mobility in Romania, במסגרת the Erasmus+ project Digital Competence for Resilient Educators (DiCoRE), we had the opportunity to participate in a highly valuable and enriching learning experience. We are therefore very grateful that we were able to take part in this project.
Throughout this international exchange, we participated in various sessions focusing on digital competences, social and emotional learning (SEL), and innovative teaching methods. Particular attention was given to the integration of digital tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) in classroom practice. These activities provided us not only with new insights, but also with practical tools to further develop our own teaching.
In addition, the collaboration with participants from different European countries was a significant added value. Exchanging experiences, good practices, and ideas broadened our professional perspective and strengthened the international dimension of the project.
This mobility was not only highly interesting, but also inspiring and motivating. The knowledge and experience we gained will be integrated into our own teaching practice and shared with colleagues within our school.
Polish Testimonial
In March 16–20, 2026, we had the opportunity to participate in an international training course in Brăila, Romania, as part of the Erasmus+ project DiCoRE.
During this mobility, we worked together with educators from different European countries, exchanging experiences, ideas, and good practices. This international environment allowed us to broaden our perspectives and better understand how digital education is implemented in various contexts.
Throughout the training, we focused on developing our digital competences and exploring innovative teaching methods. We learned how to use modern digital tools, including elements of artificial intelligence, to create more engaging and personalized learning experiences for our students. We also explored new pedagogical approaches that support student-centered learning and increase motivation and participation.
One of the most valuable aspects of this training was the practical approach. We had the chance to test tools, design learning activities, and reflect on how to effectively integrate these solutions into our everyday teaching practice. These experiences helped us feel more confident in using technology in the classroom and adapting to the ongoing digital transformation in education.
Participating in this training has had a significant impact on our professional development. It strengthened our digital skills, improved our ability to work in an international environment, and enhanced our communication and collaboration competences. It also inspired us to continue learning and experimenting with new methods.
In our future work as educators, we plan to implement the knowledge and skills we have gained, especially in the areas of personalized learning, digital tools, and innovative teaching strategies. We also intend to share our experience with other teachers, contributing to the development of more modern and effective education systems.
This experience has shown us that being an educator today means being open to change, continuous learning, and innovation—and we feel more prepared than ever to take on this challenge.
Turkey Testimonial
Within the scope of the DiCoRE Project, the Turkish team actively participated in the Learning, Teaching, and Training (LTT) activity held in Braila, Romania, from 15–21 March 2026. This mobility was designed to enhance educational practices through digital transformation and social-emotional learning (SEL), providing an international platform for collaboration and professional growth.
The event gathered participants from Belgium, Poland, Romania, and Türkiye, creating a rich multicultural environment. This setting enabled teachers and educators to exchange experiences, share innovative practices, and explore different education systems. Participants not only showcased their own teaching methods but also learned from others’ experiences, gaining new perspectives on how to integrate digital tools effectively in classrooms.
A key component of the LTT programme was understanding the intersection between digital tools and SEL. Participants explored a variety of technologies, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, and engaged with AI-supported feedback tools to enhance student learning. The workshops emphasized practical implementation, enabling participants to translate theoretical knowledge into actionable classroom activities aimed at improving empathy, emotional awareness, and collaboration skills among students. Hands-on sessions allowed participants to design and test activities directly, fostering creativity and experimentation with innovative teaching methods. This approach helped participants gain confidence in integrating technology meaningfully into their educational practices.
The Turkish team delivered an interactive country presentation that garnered significant interest. The presentation highlighted the Turkish education system, showcased examples of SEL practices, and demonstrated the integration of digital tools in teaching. It also facilitated active discussions, encouraging participants to exchange ideas and reflect on new strategies that could be adapted in their own classrooms.
Beyond academic sessions, the mobility offered extensive cultural experiences. Participants had the opportunity to explore local traditions, connect with peers from different countries, and establish collaborative networks for future projects. These interactions strengthened international cooperation and provided insights into culturally responsive teaching practices.
As a result of this LTT mobility, the Turkish team enhanced their skills in using digital tools, gained deeper understanding of social-emotional learning strategies, and strengthened their experience in international collaboration. The knowledge and skills acquired will be applied in their classrooms and shared with colleagues within their institutions, ensuring broader impact. Overall, the LTT activity in Braila represented a significant step toward promoting innovation in education and fostering sustainable international partnerships. The Turkish team is committed to disseminating the outcomes of the DiCoRE Project and contributing to the ongoing development of effective, technology-enhanced, and socially aware teaching practices.
