Erasmus Learning Academy Reviews 457

I attended the course entitled Preventing Gender-Based Discrimination and Promoting Gender Inclusiveness in Education which was held in Bologna. I truly enjoyed the course because it was a perfect blend of theory, discussions and hands-on activities. The activities also helped all participants to integrate in the group and to get to know one another better. Our course leader Irene kept a good flow during the lessons and made us feel at ease. The walking tours around Bologna and the dinners were well organised and were a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beautiful city of Bologna. I would surely recommend this course to all educators who would like to further their knowledge in the subject.

I liked the Feminist pedagogical approach
facilitator had her Finger on the pulse of the learning group and was able to redirect in real time, responding to the live interactions.
Everybody I spoke to left feeling empowered and more confident in their understanding of AI, wanting more but not disappointed.
As a participant who holds to the value of a safe and experimental learning environment this really appealed to me.
On the flip side, I probably came away feeling I can do more than I really can.

I recently attended the ELA Erasmus+ training course named Artificial Intelligence and ChatGpt for teachers: AI in schools and education. it was implemented by the "Learning Seed" organization in Athens, and it was a truly enriching experience. The course struck a great balance between theoretical foundations, ethical issues, and practical, hands-on activities that made AI concepts easy to understand and apply in an educational context.

Sessions covered everything from ethical considerations and data privacy to exploring AI tools that can support personalized learning and improve classroom engagement. The trainer was knowledgeable, very approachable, and displayed a positive energy that radiated throughout the sessions. She successfully created a collaborative atmosphere that made learning both effective and enjoyable.

I now feel more knowledgeable about those tools, and I know where to look and where to NOT look so as to begin integrating AI into my teaching. I'm also more confident in discussing its implications with colleagues and students.

I highly recommend this course to any educator looking to enhance their digital skills and bring innovative approaches into the classroom. A big thank you to the organizers for such a well-structured and inspiring experience in beautiful Athens!

There was a high level on education. The trainer had a lot of knowledge.

My experience in Palermo during the course has been very positive, especially thanks to the attitude of the trainer and the contributions of the group of participants. The experience has been truly enriching and constructive. I carry with me a deep affection for the people who took part, and I greatly value the constant respect shown for everyone’s opinions. The trainer conducted the sessions at a good pace and knew how to propose engaging and enjoyable activities. Enjoying, learning, consolidating, and sharing... It has been the best!

Paying for the full package – accommodation, course, and some meals – is a bad deal. Someone must be making a good profit out of it. The hotel is miserable, and the meals are as basic as possible. The price paid does not match the quality offered at all.

The trainer was very kind and professional – without a doubt, Giulia was the best part of the package.

Our trainer was well prepared and knowledgeable, she was clear and easy to follow and she managed to provide us a clear big picture about the best web and AI tools in teaching languages. She also was very patient and positiv regardless the challenges in timetable caused by the fire at the campus. The lunch at the campus was good. I liked the fact that the lunch took place in the same building than the course itself. Thank you!

The week in Bologna was excellently organised by the people in charge. The stay in the residence was very good, as it was in single rooms. Everything was clean and well arranged. The reception staff were always very friendly and helpful whenever necessary. But the most important thing was the course entitled ‘Yoga for teachers and school staff: Enhancing Well-being in the classroom’. The teacher was very friendly and always willing to help when we couldn't do the exercises properly. She was always concerned about meeting all our objectives. This course helped me personally to be able to relax and leave all stressful situations behind. Professionally, it helped me realise that my students also need activities that make them more relaxed and feel good in class. As for the cultural activities, our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the city. Finally, this experience also allowed me to meet fellow teachers from other European countries and make contacts for future projects.

It would be beneficial to have a prepared summary of each day's learnings on-site, provided in printed form. This would be especially helpful when tools with unfamiliar names are mentioned, as it was sometimes hard to follow the explanations. Additionally, all organized guided tours should include a dedicated guide, not just a driver.

It was such a wonderful experience and I recommend it strongly to my colleagues. The whole week we could learn and practise the different ICT tools and the immense possibilities that AI gives to the teachers. Our teacher, Valeria Di Bella, was very kind and always ready to help. Also the contact we had with colleagues from different nationalities and countries was a plus in this learnig academy. The possibility to walk together, of having a student from the Academy guiding us through Bologna, telling us the history of the city and visiting the most interesting places, it is something that I will never forget.

The course "Making the most of new technologies, apps and social media in the classroom" has been quite useful and beneficial to apply in the classroom. The teacher, Valeria di Bella, adapted to the needs of all the participants and she was incredibly approachable.
It was a great experience!

I recently completed the course "Making the most of new technologies, apps and social media in the classroom" with Erasmus Learning Academy in Rimini. It was a well-structured and insightful experience that introduced us to practical strategies for integrating digital tools—particularly AI-based platforms—into teaching. The trainer, Valeria Di Bella, was knowledgeable and engaging, and the course provided a great balance of theory and hands-on practice. I found it especially relevant to my field and left feeling inspired to bring new ideas into my teaching.

Clear communication, smooth logistics, and well-structured sessions.

The English classes were conducted professionally and with great care. The instructor used a variety of teaching methods, which made the lessons engaging and effective. The atmosphere was always kind, supportive, and inclusive. The teacher showed patience and paid attention to each participant’s needs.
Thanks to this approach, I was able to overcome my fear of speaking in English. The classes helped me build confidence and improved my communication skills. I felt encouraged to speak freely and make progress at my own pace.
Overall, it was a valuable and motivating experience that inspired me to continue learning.

I consider that the course has been very well organized and planned. The teacher has proposed different types of daily activities and a lot of practical content to apply in our classes.
Also noteworthy is the comfort of being accommodated in the same hotel where the classes have been taught.
The guides who accompanied us in our free time were very helpful and friendly.

My experience stems from actively participating in the course, organized by ELA.

Positive:
- perfect and beautiful place (Tenerife)
- excellent location for the course and activities
- well-prepared trainers
- lots of interesting topics and tasks

Negative:
- the course could be a bit longer :)

This Erasmus course on Project-Based Learning was highly practical, allowing us to experience PBL through hands-on activities rather than just theory. The supportive and collaborative atmosphere among participants made learning enjoyable and inspiring. I found it very useful for applying PBL in real educational settings.

The AI ​​course was very interesting in terms of content. The course is up to date and follows the latest developments. There is room to learn and practice. You are assisted by a professional (and kind) teacher. I can only recommend it!

The experience was very good. I really like the balance that your company took care to have in relation to working hours and possibility of getting to know the place. The contents were interesting and usefull and the support of Giulia and Kathy wascareful and kind.

Well organized course, with enthousiastic trainers, promoting interesting activities and new trends in education
