Digipro Computer Consultants Ltd successfully organized the above seminar on 03 & 06 of April 2015 at Hilton Hotel, Nicosia with Mrs. Chryso Christodoulou.
Each participating company will be offered an on-site presentation of a shortened version of the programme, tailored to the specific needs of the firm.
Aim of this program:
Cypriot students face the complexity and diversity of a world that needs flexible, creative and innovative minds. As “Excellence” is the standard for global professional competitiveness, new ways of designing and delivering curricula are required.
How can Cyprus continue to compete and survive in a global economy if the entering workforce is made up of high school graduates who lack the new skills they need, and of university graduates who are mostly “adequate” rather than “excellent”? Cypriot schools need to re-imagine learning, and offer students authentic interesting and relevant experiences required by the 21st century workplaces. This workshop will be a valuable guide for schools as they envision, plan, implement, evaluate and expand 21st century learning practices. It will enable school leaders to depart from the factory-model education of the past and abandon textbook-driven, teacher-centered, paper and pencil schooling.
