The “Emphasys Centre” has participated in the International Educational Fair of Cyprus 2019 “Education and Career”, organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus, the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), the Cyprus Employers and Industrialists Federation (OEB) and the European Office of Cyprus (EOC), between the 15th and 17th of February in Nicosia, Cyprus.
The International Education Fair of Cyprus is one of the biggest events organized in the field of education and training, as most of the participants are well-established organisations, higher education institutions and public-authorities. The Fair is regarded as the gate where the representatives of the higher educational institutions meet and attract Cypriot and international students living in Cyprus and wish to study either locally or abroad. The Fair also hosts every year public services and semi-state bodies to inform the public and especially young people regarding potential career and employment opportunities. Furthermore, the Fair offers the opportunity to providers of services addressed to students and young people such as educational and career services to approach students and young people.
During the International Fair the project ‘CODESKILLS4ROBOTICS’ was presented individually on a specific time and has attracted the attention of interested people. The Emphasys team disseminated the project using all the relevant material that was designed for the needs of the fair, such as banners, leaflets, presentations, lists etc.
Several important stakeholders, key people and official bodies, as well as parents, teenagers, teachers, youth workers and many others visited Emphasys’ booth and were informed about the ‘CODESKILLS4ROBOTICS’’ project’s aims, objectives, products and expected outcomes. Among the visitors were the Minster of of Education and Culture, Representatives of the Youth Board of Cyprus, Representatives of the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus, Members of the Cyprus Computer Society, Representatives of European University Cyprus and others.
It has to be noted that the Minister of Education and Culture (Mr.Costas Hambiaouris) were greatly impressed by the project’s idea and initiative and those who showed interested, were also invited to participate in several activities planned for the next months.
Overall the International Fair presented a great opportunity for the dissemination of the ‘CODESKILLS4ROBOTICS‘ project to a large number of interested people (estimated to be more than 10,000).
