Our needs

A free space “booth” will be installed at the conference venue to showcase our engagement in European Projects.
School as Living Labs (SALL) is the focus project, and the overall design of this booth should be based on the SALL visual identity. The TechEthos, Make it Open and SocKETS projects will also be contributing to the running of this booth.

  • Building appealing visuals to showcase existing digital project outputs of different formats (videos, documents, and website)
  • Designing digital content/postcards showcasing our projects with existing materials
