Erasmus Plus Course: Discover the Power of Photography and Visuals (Unleashing Creativity in Teaching)
Our Erasmus Plus Course is created around the idea of creating a connection with visual media and photography in everyday teaching methods. In an era where visual elements dominate our communication and learning environments, the role of photography and visuals in education has never been more pivotal.
