Blue Economy has rapidly evolved over the years, creating 5.4 million jobs and generating almost €500 billion gross added value annually. This sector is characterized mainly by a great rise in underwater scientific activities, creating a promising new sub-market of BlueTech and Scientific Diving. Manned and unmanned diving appears in different forms all over the Blue Economy with the diving sector emerging, creating opportunities for growth and jobs. Scientific divers are qualified scientists, who use diving equipment and techniques to perform underwater tasks for their fieldwork. Thanks to the recent advances in robotics, scientist also uses tethered and autonomous robots for underwater explorations. SCIENCEinBLUE aims to meet the citizens, in particular children and young minds with researchers working in the area of underwater science and technology by addressing the question When scientist go under the oceans? One hundred forty visits are planned over two years in primary and secondary schools as well as maritime vocational schools in seven different regions of Turkey including French, English and Italian speaking international schools. During these visits and the researcher night, the project members will be using mainly the results obtained in eight different EU projects related to marine citizen science, underwater cultural heritage, sustainable tourism, underwater physiology, marine protected areas, informatics, robotics, IoT and educational aspects of scientific diving in order to demonstrate that scientific career is accessible regardless of gender and ethnicity; Oceans and its conservation is critical to human existence; oceans are still waiting to be explored; underwater environment is an important playground for STEM activities; innovation and economic potential of underwater technologies are important for Europe;underwater research is exciting and highly interdisciplinary; European Union has a leading role in promoting science and science education

The final product of „The Method of tutoring as innovative way of working with young people at risk of social exclusion” project is a novel and comprehensive way of working with young people basing on individual approach to their situation. Including an individual centered approach. This is very important for proper personal development process and helps the people make a better start in their professional, social and emotional life. The Method is strongly based on tutoring. The final product and all the results were conscientiously established with our Partners from Turkey and Spain.This cooperation gave the Project European dimension.The Method of tutoring is a crucial part of social exclusion prevention activity because it enables proper individual life guidance and assistance of young people. It allows to take concrete preventive and corrective measures. The distinguishing feature of the novel Method is special attention given to development of human dignity, self-esteem and ability to make relevant relationships.This is a multi-stage and multi-dimentional process, because it is focused on developing individual and social abilities of young people. The Method is a guarantee of building the Future based on humanitarian values.Because of the fact that new educational problems and dangers appeared, there is a great need of using new educational practices. We have no doubt that a lot of young people suffer from pathological family roots, wrong value system and improper patterns. Their individual limitation and bad environmental condition are the cause of many problems with social relations. Education based on real values, giving best patterns and teaching how to make really good choices.IMPLEMENTED MEASURES:•Development and implementation of a training program for tutors•Preparing a guide book for tutors•Developing a social exclusion prevention program – a training program for young people•Building an Internet platform•Organization of an International dissemination Conference in Poland •Organization of dissemination Seminar in Turkey•Organization of dissemination Seminar in Spain•Short-term collaborative training of the staff•Short-term training of the staffImplementation of the project was based on current outside researches and on own inside study, such as surveys: in Poland, in Turkey and in Spain. On the grounds of subreports, an aggregate report was made and its results were then used during the implementation stage of the project.Dissemination activity in Poland and in our partner countries (Turkey and Spain) allowed the results to be met by bigger group of people.The Project:•Enhanced fixed cooperation with the partners•Gave new knowledge in the field of working with young people at risk of social exclusion•Increased our knowledge about other cultures, improved communicative and language skills of our Partner staff•Gave the possibility for the exchange of knowledge and made the cooperation better•Became a base for new projects.

Context: The Covid pandemic has prevented the normal flow of student mobility in many areas, including VET and Vocational teacher education (VTE). It has also forced digitalisation further up the agenda of all schools, universities and other educational institutions.Background:A recent systematic review of research on international mobility (Roy et al 2019) concluded that, although the evidence base was relatively weak, there were demonstrable benefits for students from short-term international mobility. These included increases in cultural awareness, cultural intelligence, global mindedness, cultural sensitivity and empathy, adaptability, language and communication skills, and intercultural competence. There were also personal gains such as increased confidence, self-awareness, perceived employability and career development. From a societal perspective, the students' future mobility and earning power were likely to be enhanced.The DIVE project will take a positive approach to these developments. Whereas student and teacher mobility, in a physical sense, is necessarily selective, digital mobility can be inclusive, providing opportunities for all. However, this requires careful thought about the educational benefits of international and intercultural exchange. Can these be replicated through online exchanges or other forms of activity, at home or in the classroom? Vocational education has particular requirements for internationalisation, specifically the provision of work placements in occupational specialities. VET teacher students are involved in a combination of pedagogical studies and occupation-specific learning, whether in construction, healthcare or any other area. It is difficult to recreate the experience of an actual workplace online, but in DIVE, we will implement novel forms of peer-to-peer interaction based on available technology, such as Go-Pro cameras and live streaming to simulate authentic work environments. This provides an opportunity for innovation, since it is not always possible to arrange the right placement for every student. Collaborative techniques, including digital story telling, will allow peer-to-peer interaction to substitute for the physical presence of visiting students. DIVE Objectives:1) Develop a framework for internationalisation-at-home via online and local interaction (measurable by timely achievement of Intellectual output 1)2) Incorporate this framework in VET programmes at local level, in the areas of sustainable development, values in education and citizenship & democracy (measurable by reporting of partners on incorporation and interaction of outputs 2,3,4,).3) Promote the use of the framework and programmes to other actors in vocational education and beyond (measurable by indicators of impact and dissemination - see respective sections) Participants: We will work with VET teacher students and VET teacher educators. We expect initial participation of around 120 persons across the four partners, with a cumulative total of 250 direct and 800 indirect participants by the end of the project.The concrete activities of DIVE will comprise:1) Preparation by all partners, led by NTNU, of a framework for development of three online programmes for vocational teacher education, each based on one of the themes sustainable development, values in education and citizenship & democracy, in the overall context of internationalisation at home..2) Parallel development of the three programmes by the respective partners in conjunction with local and international online colloquia3) Implementation of the programmes as a background for local and international colloquia to be held within the partner institutions.4) Iterative development cycles, incorporating feedback from participating teacher students and teacher educatorsMethodologyOur theoretical framework will use concepts of proximity, mobility and possession, which we see as three essential dimensions of any given space. This in turn enables us to compare digital, national and international activities along these dimensions, and adjust some of the conditions within any space to recreate the benefits of moving across spaces. A central idea in DIVE is that staying at home, in a general sense, should become more desirable and less isolating than currently experienced by many people.Results and impactOur impact will be to make the benefits of international mobility available to a much wider range of participants in and outside VET. We will work with vocational teacher students as they will have future influence on young people and will be able to bring the benefits of DIVE programmes to a wide audience. However, the underlying principles of DIVE are transferable to any educational setting where mobility is desirable. Indeed, it will make it possible to bring international mobility to group who would otherwise be unable to engage in mobility, such as younger age groups or adults with families.
