🌟 Staff Exchange to Turin 🌟

Last week, two of our partner universities had an exciting and fruitful staff exchange. Professor Chronis Kynigos, Maria Latsi, Katia Schiza and Chara Korompli, members of NKUA’s Educational Technology Lab, visited the University of Turin to immerse themselves in the great educational research taking place there, led by Prof. Ornella Robutti and Andrea Ghersi. The guests had the opportunity to attend a live online session by Luis Radford and Anna Sfard comparing their theories, while PhD students Katia Schiza and Chara Korompli had the honour of sharing their research to Professor Emeritus Ferdinando Arzarello and interacting with him, other experienced researchers and local PhD students.

Other activities included a visit to two local high schools, a debate on the SSPM project presented by Ornella Robutti, and several interesting workshops on emerging technologies such as Mixed Reality and 3D printing.
