At the conference “Education, Innovation and Cooperation for the Future of Regions”, organised by LBTU Malnava College, Smart Nest presented the newly launched CAAIVE project.

As the project officially started only in April, the presentation focused on introducing the upcoming activities, planned international cooperation, and opportunities for involvement in the project. The conference provided an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and build interest among the target audience regarding AI adoption, digital skills, and innovation in the agricultural sector.

An especially valuable part of the event was the excursion around the college facilities, which strongly connected with the practical activities and future directions planned within the CAAIVE project. It was inspiring to see the educational environment, technical infrastructure, and potential for developing innovation-driven agricultural education initiatives.

Exciting discussions and valuable new connections at the conference “Education, Innovation and Cooperation for the Future of Regions”, organised by Malnavas koledža (LBTU Malnava College).

During the conference, Smart Nest presented the Virtual Auditorium Project and its Moodle plug-in, which is currently being developed within the project. The presentation focused on the practical opportunities for educational institutions to participate in piloting and testing the new plug-in in real learning environments.

The response from participants was highly positive, and Smart Nest received several expressions of interest from institutions willing to join the testing phase of the Moodle solution. Great to see such strong interest in innovative digital learning tools and international cooperation in education.

Today Smart Nest participated in the conference “Education, Innovation and Cooperation for the Future of Regions”, organised by Malnavas koledža, where I had the opportunity to present the results of the Hybredu project.
The project focuses on empowering adult educators with practical digital tools, online learning resources, and training activities to strengthen the use of digital technologies in education and training. HybRedu also supports the development of key digital competences — including communication, collaboration, digital content creation, safety, problem solving, and information literacy — while encouraging educators to design more creative, engaging, and interactive learning experiences for adult learners.

📍 Photo Orienteering Meets School Learning in Riga

As part of Beyond maps project At Riga Teika Secondary School, nearly 80 high school students took part in a dynamic photo orienteering competition on 20 March 2026.

Using kontrolpunkti.lv platform teams navigated an urban course—but with a twist:
🧠 some map points were hidden behind school subject questions (math, history, national heritage). To reveal the exact location, students first had to solve the tasks.
This approach transformed a classic orienteering activity into an engaging learning experience—combining movement, teamwork, and subject-based knowledge.

📊 Feedback & impact:
* Clear improvement in students’ orienteering skills after the event
* Strong confidence in map-reading, while teamwork skills were rated as good to excellent
* High satisfaction levels: most students rated the event as good to excellent
* 91% said they would recommend it to their friends
* The event showed how integrating academic content into outdoor activities can boost both engagement and learning outcomes—making education more active, practical, and enjoyable.

Spending these days in Lisbon at the TeamGym4Health final conference and hands-on workshops. Alongside capturing video content, we’ve been actively boosting the project’s visibility and outreach.
The results speak for themselves: within just three days, the event content has reached over 35,000 views on YouTube and 5,000 on TikTok — with nearly 25,000 views generated in Youtube in the past 48 hours alone. Engagement continues to grow even after the event’s official close.
Smart Nest is proud to be amplifying the impact of both the project and TeamGym on a truly global scale.

🔎 Kādi ir EmpowerTech projekta rezultāti?

Izpēte Itālijā, Vācijā, Grieķijā un Latvijā atklāj – iekļaujošā izglītība attīstās, taču joprojām trūkst apmācītu skolotāju, pielāgotu materiālu un individuālas pieejas. Vienlaikus visās valstīs īpaši svarīgas ir dzīves prasmes, digitālās prasmes, komunikācija un neatkarības veicināšana.

Tieši tāpēc radījām EmpowerTech mācību materiālus, kas palīdz pedagogiem un jaunatnes darbiniekiem efektīvāk atbalstīt jauniešus ar Dauna sindromu.
