Virtual mobility content

The virtual mobility component of the workshop will bring together students from different countries to collaborate through Miro on creative activities such as idea mapping, design challenges, and discussions on industry trends. Participants will connect online via Google Meet and receive a task and a link to a Miro board or a similar forum-based platform for real-time idea sharing. They will respond to questions using virtual post-it notes, interact with each other’s messages, and brainstorm ideas directly on the platform. They can also interact on Google Meet before and after the Miro sessions. These sessions will foster cross-cultural exchange, innovative thinking, and practical problem-solving in the field of jewellery making.

Virtual mobility schedule

2 sessions, 1.5 hours time limit to interact

Physical mobility content

Students will explore local artisans and museums to gain insight into Armenian culture. Over the course of their two-week stay, with the guidance of the workshop leaders, they will create jewellery pieces that draw inspiration from Armenian traditions and craftsmanship.

Physical mobility schedule

Each group of students (7–8 from the Sending school side and 2–3 from the Armenian side) will attend a 2-hour workshop from Monday to Friday. Workshops will take place between: 11:00 and 16:00, divided into two 2-hour sessions—one session per group (1st group: 11:00–13:00, 2nd group: 14:00–16:00)—with a 1-hour lunch break in between. Occasionally, joint excursions will be scheduled in the morning or afternoon. However, the lessons themselves will be held separately.
