The ENAIBLE project aims to improve employability and social inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities through AI-powered vocational training in electronics. By utilizing an AI EdTech tool, adaptive learning and gamified resources, the project provides accessible digital tools that offer recognized micro-credentials, addressing barriers to employment and fostering digital inclusion in the labor market.

The planned Activities include the development of a user-friendly AI based EdTech digital learning platform, creation of modular training content, and deployment of AI-enhanced gamified learning tools. Pilot training sessions and stakeholder engagement initiatives ensure broad adoption. Dissemination strategies promote scalability, while continuous evaluation ensures the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of the project.

Expected outcomes include:

• a fully functional AI-powered Ed Tech learning platform with interactive gamified modules

• 200 trained participants obtaining recognized micro-credentials

• 65 trained VET professionals

• Improved employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities

• Integration of ENAIBLE training modules and micro-credentials into existing VET programs.

• Widespread dissemination and adoption of project results at local, national, and European levels.

Framework data:

• Duration 12/2025 – 11/2027

• Scope 400.000.- Euro

• Project funds from ERASMUS+, VAT

Processes of inclusion and exclusion are favourable or inhibiting factors for participation in a society; they enable or threaten a self-determined life. The school subject of history is able to illustrate how diversity has always changed and enriched societies, but also challenged them, how exclusion processes with all their destructive potential can take place in an uncontrolled or controlled manner and what individual and social costs this has. History lessons can exploit the interdisciplinary potential of historical orientation if they go beyond specific historical cases and provide categorising insights into processes, mechanisms and target groups of exclusion and inclusion. Diversity-sensitive teaching supports orientation, for example by giving learners the opportunity to choose approaches that are relevant to their orientation and to acquire the necessary skills in ways that are suitable for them. Our interdisciplinary project utilises findings from empirical inclusion research, history didactics, psychology and teaching quality research to design diversity-sensitive lessons. In a design-based research approach, a package of teaching aids will be developed in collaboration with further education centres and teachers on the basis of a concept for Universal Design for History Learning, which will be tested for its effectiveness with the help of a randomised field study.

Framework data:

• Duration 10/2025 to 03/2030

The systematic promotion of the development of emotional and social competences in the context of subject-related learning at school offers great opportunities to strengthen the mental health and key skills of learners. The project realises a research cooperation between the government of the German-speaking Community of Belgium and the University of Oldenburg. The aim is to analyse and adapt current scientific findings on emotional and social skills in childhood and adolescence in order to develop a curricular orientation and integration across the age groups from pre-school to adolescence. Within the Belgian education system, the emotional and social competences of children and adolescents are to be systematically supported and development-promoting approaches are to be integrated into the curriculum of the school subjects. Concrete implementation steps are being prepared. The main content of the co-operation is the coordinated and cooperative development of the corresponding curriculum as well as the implementation options for issues of social and emotional support in the education system.

Framework data:

• Duration 01/2025 - 03/2026

• Scope approx. 20,000 euros

• Project funding from the Government of the German-speaking Community of Belgium
