Odyssea

🚀 Odyssea Around Europe! On September 26 and 27, we had the pleasure of participating in the partners' meeting of the Erasmus project IA-ME in Barcelona. On the first day, we launched the multilingual AI-powered web application, designed to automatically assess student needs, set personalized goals, and recommend inclusive technological tools. The second day focused on developing a MOOC to support the continuous professional development of teachers working with students with special learning needs. The IA-ME project, co-funded by the EU, aims to support teachers in the assessment, monitoring, and planning of tailored educational plans for students with special educational needs (SEN) using an innovative AI-based tool. #ErasmusPlus #IA_MEProject #AIinEducation #InclusiveEducation #SpecialEducation #TeacherTraining #EducationInnovation #InclusiveLearning

⛵ Today, we celebrate World Maritime Day! At Odyssea, we are proud to contribute to the maritime sector through our Re-Sail program implemented with the support of the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Charitable Foundation, which empowers individuals with the skills and knowledge needed for a sustainable future in the maritime industry. 🌊 Through Re-Sail, we are providing vocational training in traditional boat repair and maintenance, blending modern sustainability practices with age-old maritime craftsmanship. This initiative not only supports employment opportunities but also helps preserve Greece’s rich maritime heritage. But that’s not all. Typhoon, our sustainable sailing boat, sails year-round along the Greek coastline, removing litter from inaccessible shores. Collected plastic waste is weighed, compressed, and stored—some of it gets a second life and becomes boats! ⚓ Together, we’re cleaning our seas, preserving our heritage, and preparing the next generation. #WorldMaritimeDay #BlueEconomy #Youthempowerment #sustainability
