The Community & English project has developed practical resources that support Community-connected English-language learning, digital and VR-supported education, long-term cooperation and effective project communication. The three Intellectual Outputs are available in multiple partner languages, while the Communication and Promotion Plan is provided in English.
These resources are intended for secondary-school teachers, educational institutions, project partners and other stakeholders interested in applying the project’s educational methods, understanding its digital tools, supporting strategic cooperation and promoting project results.
Intellectual Output 01
Educational concept and practical guidance for secondary-school English teachers implementing Community-connected learning through pedagogical methods, Virtual Reality, Open Educational Resources and classroom lesson planning.
Intellectual Output 02
Practical documentation for the Community & English VR educational software, covering installation, use and maintenance of the Maze-based learning tool.
Intellectual Output 03
A strategic cooperation resource with recommendations for improving educational approaches and an Action Plan for future initiatives addressing community-related challenges.
Project Document
A common communication and dissemination framework supporting stakeholder engagement, project visibility, promotion of activities and wider sharing of Community & English results.
Intellectual Output 01
The first Intellectual Output presents the educational concept for introducing Community-connected learning in English-language school classes and is accompanied by a Handbook for secondary school teachers. It provides a structured basis for connecting English learning with community-related challenges and for integrating innovative pedagogical and digital approaches into regular teaching.
The Handbook covers the main aspects of Community-connected learning, pedagogical methodologies for its implementation, the use of VR-supportive hardware and free online VR educational software, and ICT-based practices and Open Educational Resources for language-related school classes.
It also provides practical lesson-planning support developed through the project, helping teachers transfer the Community-connected approach into regular classroom work with students and supporting wider use of the methodology beyond the participating schools.
Intellectual Output 02
The second Intellectual Output is the User Manual accompanying the Community & English educational software developed in a Virtual Reality environment based on the Maze concept. The manual supports teachers and other users in understanding how the project’s VR-based educational tool operates.
It provides guidance on the installation process, practical use and maintenance of the software, helping users prepare the system and apply it correctly within project-related English-language learning activities.
By documenting the technical and practical use of the software, the User Manual supports the transferability and continued use of the Community & English VR educational approach in schools and other educational settings.
Intellectual Output 03
The third Intellectual Output is the Document for Strategic Partnership, developed to support long-term cooperation around the introduction of community-related topics into educational processes across the partner regions.
The document reviews educational contexts and opportunities for improvement, identifies suitable practices and pedagogical approaches, and provides recommendations for strengthening local strategies and improving the way community-related challenges are addressed through education.
It also includes an Action Plan with concrete future initiatives, actions and measures for the 2027–2031 period, providing a basis for continued cooperation and further development of innovative educational activities beyond the Community & English project.
Project Document
The Communication and Promotion Plan provides the common framework used by the Community & English partnership to organise project communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement throughout the project.
It brings together approaches for reaching educational institutions, public authorities, civil-society organisations, media, community actors and other relevant audiences through the project website, digital communication, social networks, direct stakeholder contact, workshops, press activities and dissemination events.
The Plan supports consistent visibility of Community & English, promotion of project activities and Intellectual Outputs, wider awareness of Community-connected learning and effective sharing of the project’s VR-supported educational approach and achievements.
Use the Handbook for Secondary School Teachers to understand the Community-connected learning approach and support its practical implementation in English-language classes.
Use the User Manual to install, operate and maintain the Community & English VR educational software and support its practical use in learning activities.
Use the Document for Strategic Partnership to explore recommendations, future measures and opportunities for continued cooperation around community-related educational challenges.
Use the Communication and Promotion Plan to understand the project’s approach to stakeholder engagement, dissemination and wider promotion of Community & English activities and results.
