"""World of Technology"" workers for the educational programs of the science centres in Europe II."

Description

The whole project was realized with the vision of gaining new experiences and ideas, but also with the ambition to improve the operation of the Science & Technology Centre in Ostrava. The project helped us to get in contact with partner institutions with similar focus and goals. Each institution chooses different ways and means of achieving its goals, while also looking at the different approaches and mentalities of individual nations. This program thus offers a unique opportunity to broaden your horizons and use this diversity for the benefit of both parties and to apply it in practice for innovation.Science & Technology Centre Ostrava is a science center with an emphasis on non-formal education, but it is also a very young institution, both in terms of staff composition and the duration of its existence. The activities of the World of Technology were started only in 2014, but since then the science center has been actively developing. However, a visit to high-quality foreign science centers with a tradition can also contribute to the development, which will allow to obtain, in particular, the possibility of comparing the implemented educational and leisure activities.Six mobilities were planned under the project, of which only four were possible due to the covid-19 pandemic and restrictions and regulations issued. The four mobilities ranged from four to five days and covered countries across Europe - Estonia, Denmark, Sweden and Portugal. The choice of science centers and institutions in different parts of Europe could offer us a wide variety of approaches.For the project, we selcted employees from various sectors which are an integral part of our science center and together they can form a successful institution of non-formal education. A total of 12 participants were involved, including 8 men and 4 women, across various departments, and thus involved authors and lecturers of educational programs, technicians as well as people in managerial positions.The aim of the whole project and individual mobilities was:- to get acquainted with the operation of individual institutions and science centers abroad- draw inspiration for the innovation of our activities, expositions, educational programs, but also the approach and operation as such- discuss the daily operation, logistics, and technical side of things- exchange experiences in the field of popularization of science, operation of a science center, management of teaching activities, management of employees- exchange experiences on unusual situations and their solutions, crisis management, operation organization- potentially establish cooperation with the visited institutions- convert the acquired knowledge into a real form and implement it in our own institution- to help develop the language skills of the participants- broadening the horizons of individual participants.
