On December 9-10, 2024, we successfully wrapped up the 4th Transnational Project Meeting of the RAISE project at Lyceum Manin, in Cremona, Italy, marking a major milestone in our journey toward fostering environmental awareness among students.
The event served as a dynamic platform for collaboration, where partners exchanged valuable insights and feedback on the final version of our virtual world—a cutting-edge tool designed to inspire and educate students on sustainability.
Over the course of two days, participants shared experiences, discussed next steps, and worked together to ensure the platform’s effectiveness in empowering the next generation of environmentally conscious learners. The spirit of teamwork and innovation was truly on display, reflecting the core values of the RAISE project.
A huge thank you to all participants for their dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm. Your contributions have been instrumental in bringing this project to life and ensuring its long-lasting impact.
The RAISE project continues to show that through collaboration and innovation, we can shape a greener and more sustainable future for generations to come!
We are thrilled to share the highlights from our 4th Newsletter of Project RAISE! Here’s what you need to know:
Major Milestone: We’ve completed the Final Version of our 3D Virtual World! This interactive platform educates, inspires, and empowers action for the planet through engaging and creative learning.
Dissemination Activities: • Multiplier Event at Arsakeio (October, 2024): Presented the goals and the activities of the RAISE project, fostering further discussion among a total of 70 educators, teachers and students participating. • Multiplier Event at AEDAS (October, 2024): Event educators, teachers, students and parents highlighted their educational work through their participation in the RAISE project.

The second transnational meeting (TPM2) took place on the 12th and 13th of September and was hosted by the Vilnius College (VIKO), in Lithuania.
In the second gathering of SIMOnS, the team met at the Faculty of Technology and Design of Vilnius College (VIKO), in Lithuania, to discuss the overall progress of the project after having submitted the periodic report on August this year.
The two-day meeting was held during the 12th and 13th of September, having covered all work packages, with particular focus on the educational content production (WP3.3) and the design and development of the mobile application (W.4.2).
