communicate about the environmental values outside their schools. - The iSchool Project aims to integrate and preserve European cultural heritage within education.

innovative approach combines the best features of online and in-person education, aiming to prepare for the post-pandemic era. - The IIExVET project focuses on developing a survey aimed at measuring excellence levels in vocational education and training (VET) across
