All about images!

Europaeische Bildungsinitiative — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 16:34:25 +0000

The CICERO course used digital photography to convey digital competences. Therefore, images are a central issue. To put it better, one could say: All about images. You have to see this short statement in two ways: On the one hand, the course actually offers a lot of information about images, on the other hand, working with images is used to impart knowledge and skills in the field of digital skills.

Image knowledge and skills

This area of the CICERO course focuses on image composition and proper use of all types of cameras.

The term cameras addresses – in the context of the course – smart phone cameras as well as DLSR and similar cameras.

Digital competences

This part of the course addresses the knowledge area and skills in the field of digital competences. The consortium orientated itself on the DigComp 2.0 framework and integrated essential content from this framework into the course.

In this project, hundreds of people from Austria, Greece, Portugal, and Spain participated in these courses. They created hundreds of pictures during the learning process. These images have been peer-evaluated, discussed, published in a joint facebook group and used for further work.

You can find the gallery with many of these images here: Course Image Gallery

The photo contest

The course participants were able to take part in a photo contest, the prizes for the best photos were 4 tablets. This competition served as an incentive to deal with the learning material and to achieve the desired learning goals.

More than 120 images were submitted to the contest. The winner was determined by a jury.

2nd Course of Photography in Spain. LET’S START!

Juan De Lucas — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:00:39 +0000

We started the second edition of the PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE, in Malaga (Spain). A total of 15 participants have the opportunity to learn and improve their skills around photography. Thanks to the security measures taken by our Spanish partner, Arrabal-AID, it has been possible to develop the second edition of our training in person, which improves interaction and the creation of new interpersonal relationships.
In addition, given the great reception of the training, as of November 10, people who did not get face-to-face training will be able to do it online, with the advice of an expert tutor.

Classes are from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with a total duration of 32 training hours, divided into lessons within the classroom as well as practices abroad.

Photography & Digital Skills

Peter Mazohl — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 11:44:34 +0000

I am sometimes asked why I am involved in a project that combines photography with digital skills. The answer is quite simple: Because these two areas are closely linked and have a common interface.

The following illustration shows the rough connection.

Digital photography is closely connected with creativity and the knowledge and experience of image composition – this will lead to appealing images.

Digital skills in general help citizens to survive in a digital-dominated world. Here you will use social networks as well as a computer for work ore a tablet with a lot of apps with a tablet.

The project aims

The CICERO Project aims to build a bridge: Combine in-depth knowledge of designing images, including the technical possibilities of digital cameras with the requirements of our digital age. That means creating and publishing content as well as using social networks or documenting events or cultural treasures (from the present and the past).

Further benefits and added value of the project

Here are some ideas how the results of this project can be used in other fields of education.

School education

The project’s results can be used especially in project work or group-based teaching. Here are some examples for assignments.

Initiate a project documenting local cultural architectural treasures
Preparing an event documentation – this should include both high-quality images and a sophisticated accompanying text.
Create an exhibition as a documentation of an event (for example school festival, class trip, excursion, field trip, or similar).
Creating a series of pictures showing the different states of mind/moods of a person

Vocational Education and Training

A special training using the project’s results can be used to

Create a series of high-quality images as a “making-of” documentation
Implement composing and designing rules to create images of higher quality of professional issues (for example in the real estate business, the documentation of completed orders, proposals for customers and a lot of more opportunities).
