The XRinVET project at the nationwide Educational Robotics and Technology Festival:

📢 The Directorate of Secondary Education of Pella, as co-organizer, presented the XRinVET project at the nationwide Educational Robotics and Technology Festival: Promoting Innovation 2025, which took place at the Giannitsa Cultural Center on March 5, 6 and 7, 2025. There, the first stage of the research was presented, which concerns the design of simulation scenarios in work environments of 3 specialties: nursing assistant, vehicle technician and electrical installation/electronic systems/network and IT applications technician. In collaboration with students, educators and market actors, the project consortium aspires to make Vocational Education and Training more relevant and attractive than ever, contributing to the formation of an educational model that combines technology with the needs of the modern labor market.

8 reasons for using VR/AR in Vocational Training:

8 reasons for using VR/AR in Vocational Training:

Vocational training is undergoing a revolution thanks to the incorporation of VR/AR technology that transforms the way students acquire knowledge and skills, providing increasingly effective and immersive experiences that simulate real situations.

VR/AR offers several benefits that can significantly improve the quality of education and vocational training, optimizing students’ preparation for the world of work.

1. Accelerated learning-by-doing

2. Increased motivation and commitment

3. A safe environment without physical risks & access to otherwise inaccessible training environments

4. Cost reduction in training

5. Developing soft skills through immersive experiences

6. Improving collaboration and group learning

7. Deeper understanding and immersive learning

8. Personalization of learning

Kick-Off Meeting

The Kick-Off Meeting of the Erasmus+ KA2 Cooperation Partnership in Vocational Education and Training entitled “XRinVET Enhancing Digital Innovation (WEB 4.0) and Attractiveness of VET through Extended Reality (VR/AR) Training for better skills-match” took place online on 04 December 2024.

Partnership members:

1. University of Crete (GR)

2. Confederacion Espanola de Centros de Ensenanza Asociacion C.E.C.E. (ES)

3. Directorate of Secondary Education of Pella (GR)

4. Chambre de Commerce Belgo-Italienne ASBL (BE)

5. National Center for Scientific Research “DEMOKRITOS” (GR)

6. CODEARRAYS Ltd (CY)

The main objectives of the project are:

– to develop a set of Extended Reality Simulations (VR/AR) for professional training in specific upcoming professions.

– to design, pilot-test & evaluate a blended learning methodology as part of work-based learning and apprenticeship programmes in VET (Vocational Education and Training).

– to addresses the digital transformation, and modernization of VET curricula, according to the needs of the labour market, promoting at the same time innovation and increasing the attractiveness of VET.
