What we do

Services

Structured courses, hosted mobility activities and digital deliverables for education staff, grounded in what Polymathia actually does on Chios at the intersection of technology, education, social inclusion and community life.

We work with schools, VET providers, adult-education organisations, community groups and public authorities, mainly as a course provider and host on Chios, and as a partner in European cooperation projects. Any accommodation, transport, cultural programme or third-party service that forms part of a course or visit is described and priced separately, and kept clearly distinguishable from the educational content and the course fee.

01

Structured courses for education staff

Courses for school, VET, adult-education and other education staff, delivered on Chios: Island Learning Lab (STEM, citizen science and sustainability), AI & Agentic Workflows for educators, Bridging Generations (digital inclusion and active ageing), Physical Computing (low-cost, cross-curricular), and Education in Remote and Island Communities.

  • Courses from the published catalogue, or a course adapted to the objectives in your Erasmus Plan.
  • Whole-institution groups or individual participants.
  • Stated learning outcomes and a published programme agreed before the mobility.
  • A concrete participant output for every course.
  • Weather-resilient design, so no core learning outcome depends on outdoor delivery.

Deliverables: Course description and programme, the agreed participant output, a certificate of attendance and, where relevant, European recognition tools, and an evaluation report.

Job shadowing, peer learning and study visits

Placements and visits hosted on Chios, subject to confirmed capacity and partner availability.

  • Matching against the learning objectives you have stated.
  • An observation protocol and structured reflection.
  • Thematic study-visit itineraries and peer-learning meetings.
  • Teaching assignments in which the visiting educator teaches.
  • No external organisation is named as a host or site-visit provider without its written confirmation.

Deliverables: Observation protocol, structured reflection record, certificate of attendance and evaluation report.

Cooperation projects

Polymathia takes part in European cooperation projects as a partner, and, where its organisational capacity and the project design allow, as a coordinating organisation.

  • Team experience in European projects, school partnerships, eTwinning, learning-material development and the practical organisation of transnational cooperation and mobility.
  • A local network of public authorities, education providers, civil-society organisations, professional bodies and community stakeholders, supporting access to expertise, learning settings, case studies and dissemination channels.
  • Any specific cooperation is confirmed in advance with the organisation concerned.

Deliverables: Partner profile and supporting documentation for consortium applications, and local-network contributions agreed in advance for each partnership.

Open educational resources and digital deliverables

Polymathia is the education and training initiative of a software company, and that capability is available to courses and projects that need digital results to work.

  • Open Educational Resources: design, production, licensing and publication.
  • Digital and blended preparatory activities.
  • Learning materials and reusable resources.
  • Accessibility and data protection built in rather than retrofitted.

Deliverables: Digital products and Open Educational Resources with licensing details, an accessibility statement and data-protection documentation.

Preparation, recognition and follow-up

Support before, during and after a mobility, so that learning outcomes are documented and actually used.

  • A pre-course needs questionnaire and a preparation pack.
  • Support with learning agreements and documented learning outcomes.
  • Certificates and, where relevant, European recognition tools.
  • Participant evaluation and an evaluation report.
  • A participant transfer-and-dissemination plan.
  • Follow-up resources supporting implementation after the mobility.

Deliverables: Preparation pack, learning-agreement support, certificates, evaluation report, transfer-and-dissemination plan, follow-up resources.
