The multiplier event was held on October 19, 2023 at the festival of Work and Activity of Seniors at Amber EXPO, Gdańsk. The title of the event was “Druk 3D- To Jest Proste” (eng. 3D printing – It is Simple). The event provided a unique opportunity for seniors and educators/trainers interested in new technologies to explore the world of 3D printing. The event programme included:
• Insights into 3D education at the Gdańsk Neighborhood Club.
• Information about the project and 3D education in Lithuania and Italy.
• Hands-on experience in creating a simple 3D object (keychain).
• Guidance on starting to use 3D technology.
During the whole day of the Fair, the 3D printer was actively printing 3D objects – key chains with the blood type and the participants could observe the process of 3D printing.
Audience:
• Adult educators, trainers, teachers from other NGOs, Neighborhood Houses, formal and non-formal education centers, and local community centers.
• Representatives of associated partners eg. Labour Office, Senior Clubs.
• Representatives of local authorities eg. Gdansk Presidents’ Plenipotentiary for Seniors.
• Representatives of ICT education centers (telemedicine, smartphone apps, creative industry).
• Local community members, adult learners, including those with fewer opportunities (mostly seniors).
• Media representatives and reporters from local and national media.
Direct participants – 33 persons.
Indirect participants (those who were passing by our education point during the Fairs) approx.. 500.
The event successfully achieved its objectives by providing a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and the dissemination of project results. Participants gained insights into the project’s outcomes, shared experiences, and established valuable contacts. The networking lunch facilitated informal discussions and collaboration opportunities. The event contributed to the wider adoption of the project results within the target audience.
The event successfully introduced seniors and educators to the world of 3D printing, providing hands-on experience and valuable knowledge. The collaboration with the Erasmus+ program enhanced the event’s impact by integrating it into a broader educational context.
