Welcome to the First Mobility: Collaborative Learning and Interaction!
In this inaugural mobility experience, we have ingeniously blended virtual and physical activities to maximize the benefits for all participants. Our methodology is founded on the well-established Pillars-Phases Model, as elucidated in the proposal. We are excited to present our innovative approach to you.
Virtual and Physical Activities: A Perfect Harmony
We seamlessly integrated virtual and physical activities to construct a comprehensive and diverse program. Prior to the commencement of our face-to-face meeting, a Virtual Campfire Event set the stage for our collaboration. This virtual gathering was dedicated to discussing crucial topics that formed the foundation for our collective endeavors.
Custom-Tailored Program for Real-World Relevance
Our activities were meticulously tailored to address the needs and responsibilities of each organization. Each element of the program was designed to make a direct contribution to participants’ day-to-day work, offering them the opportunity to apply newly acquired knowledge immediately. A notable highlight was the training of all on-site staff to contribute content to our shared web platform. This process not only involved collaborative efforts in shaping the platform’s core structure but also considering individual requirements to personalize the platform and attain a shared outcome.
Hands-On Learning and Active Participation
Our program was intentionally designed to provide space for practical experimentation and active involvement, enabling participants to actively shape the outcomes. An exemplary instance of this approach was our Pop-up Event, during which participants were empowered to play an active role in shaping the program. One partner effectively utilized this platform to orchestrate an engaging Street Happening involving circus equipment and create a trailer for World Juggling Day 2022.
Cross-Border Collaboration and Multilingual Diversity
One of the challenges we faced in this mobility initiative was the varying levels of knowledge and language skills across organizations and participants. However, we successfully overcame this challenge through purposeful group formation and cultivating an open and relaxed environment. Shared experiences and enthusiastic participation fostered a learning atmosphere centered around attentive listening, inquisitive questioning, and mutual learning.
Collective On-Site Creation and Collaborative Online Work
A distinctive strategy was employed, emphasizing collaborative creation during in-person interactions and later engaging in collective online work for theoretical content suited to virtual collaboration. This approach enabled us to maximize the utilization of the limited on-site time while fully leveraging the potential of online collaboration.
We extend a warm invitation to explore our event documentation, which provides a comprehensive insight into our diverse activities and the outcomes of our collaborative efforts. We are proud of how adeptly we merged virtual and physical elements to craft an inspiring and practical mobility experience.
