 The short term impact addresses the countries of Greece, Germany, France, Cyprus, Poland, Turkey and Egypt. The specialized history learning tools are going to be translated to all these languages and customized to regional needs without neglecting a common European Approach that will give an added value and greater visibility to the project's outcomes. Ceramists will participate to the trainings for the validation of the project's outputs. 140 ceramists are the minimum expected number that the project promises to involve in its pilot implementation phase. A larger number of users are finally expected to take part due to the size and impact of the participating associations.
Regarding the long term impact, in the context of the current competitive environment, ceramic enterprises need to invest on upskilling, innovation and conformity to the new environmental standards and EU policies. The proposed history learning tools can offer such alternatives. The project partners, well known organizations in the ceramic sector, intent to support the project outcomes and create a pan European awareness.
At least 20 ceramists from each country will be involved in during the pilot implementation phase. They will enrol in the platform, receive the training handbook on basic Skills and use the online training history learning tools. The project will try to involve more ceramists in the target areas with goal to assess the market potential of the training material and Learning History Toolkit in each region. The users' satisfaction, along with the system's effectiveness, efficiency and safety will be measured following ISO/IEC 9126, "Quality in use metrics".
Long term target groups include:
- ceramic organizations, consulting companies and vocational training providers as well as any organization at national and European level that supports ceramic SMEs interested to transfer and upgrade their inhouse knowledge and working culture in order to be able to maintain and expand their market share.
- private ceramic companies that want to train their existing employees or newcomers to specific requirements or to upgrade skills (work difficulties, production method, problem solving, raw material selection, stress situations, negotiation abilities, etc)
- training institutions and all types of education providers that want to integrate the history learning tools in their training tools
- consulting companies that want to invest in consulting tools for the sustainability and modernization of family businesses.
- other industry sectors besides ceramic organisations that would like to adopt the history learning methodology by using the developed software platform.
The size and reputation of the consortium partners and their experience in vocational training on the ceramic sector is an added value to this endeavour. The participating organizations are all well established and respected members of regional, national and European networks consisted of peer organizations and ceramic associations. They plan to activate their networks in order to disseminate the Project’s final products. For this reason they plan a dissemination/publicity campaign where their exploitation-valorization strategy is incorporated (WP 5). This strategy refers at informing non-profit and profit-making entities on the final products (Basic Training Materials, methodology and tools) and their potential, launching the CERVIVE as training and support tools for ceramists in all participating countries. For this to be known in local, national and European level a series of publicity activities are planned (WP 5) among which is the organizing of 4 key events/ workshops (Germany, France, Cyprus and Poland), a number of press releases and publications.
On the other hand, the contribution from the GRUNTVIG program within the project, for the investigation, development & wide dissemination of the CERVIVE outcomes will have a multiplying effect since it will set up the basis for a pan European adoption of emerging standards & technologies in the ceramic sector as well as market competitiveness increase, thus benefiting the whole European Ceramic SME community and not only the participating users involved. Depicting this in figures and considering that more than 95% of the European companies are SME, and that the project’s output can be easily transferred to other industrial sectors, it is obvious that the economical effect for the Proposers, through the commercialisation of the CERVIVE results, is quite enormous.
