Tropical Astral

Meetings in Vilamoura

In the month of July TropicalAstral will host Meetings here in the Algarve for two Erasmus+ funded Projects – Skills4Integration and InclusionApp. Skills4Integration of Migrants, Refugees and Asylum Seekers is a project that addresses the integration of adult refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who have notable disadvantages in literacy, numeracy and digital skills. Literacy, numeracy and digital skills are fundamental to master typical situations in everyday working life. Competence deficits in these areas can prove to be an obstacle to permanent and successful integration into the labour market. The main goal of the project InclusionApp is to help RI&AS (refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers) learn the language and the culture of the host country through a mobile serious game and ood practices against social exclusion through a a collaborative e-learning platform. In these Projects we work with Partners from Poland, Belgium, UK, Greece, Netherlands, Finland and Cyprus. Here’s to good cooperation!

Trello

Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process. Imagine a white board, filled with lists of sticky notes, with each note as a task for you and your team. Now imagine that each of those sticky notes has photos, attachments from other data sources like BitBucket or Salesforce, documents, and a place to comment and collaborate with your teammates. Now imagine that you can take that whiteboard anywhere you go on your smartphone, and can access it from any computer through the web. That’s Trello!
