The project Front Winners: (re)skilling for mentors with immersive experiences aims to address a major issue which cover new contexts of Higher Education Institutions and the retraining or upskilling of mentors and educators (e.g. teachers, trainers, tutors, personal caregivers) in modern societies, especially those who work with people with fewer opportunities, namely young students with intelectual and developmental disabilities (IDD’s).
1. To design and implement innovative educational content in the form of teaching and learning activities using formal and non-formal methodologies with concerns regarding the engagement of IDDs students in Higher Education contexts.
2. To enhance mentors skills according to the priorities set out for Higher Education and in order to answer to the needs of the training contexts of the nowadays inclusive society.
3. To develop practices in the context of inclusive Higher Education that meet the challenges of innovation and respect the basic principles of data protection, open source and security.
4. To evaluate the process of learning development and its adaptation to other Higher Education environments considering the sustainability of the model tested within this project and its evolution and transferability to other countries.
5. To share the good practices among our countries and with others. Building and disseminating them in the political, societal, technological and economic fields, thus contributing to the change of mentalities.
