International Technology, Education and Development Conference - INTED2020
Petr Beremlijski and Petra Vondráková (Department of Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VSB - Technical University of Ostrava) attended the INTED (International Technology, Education and Development Conference) conference in Valencia, Spain, from 2 to 4 March 2020.
They presented the results of the projects Math Exercises for You and Math Exercises for You 2 in the talks "Mathematical educational portals MsR, STEMforyouth and Math4U" and "Use of educational portal Math4U for practicing precalculus and calculus".
Petr Beremlijski was also a member of the International Scientific Advisory Board as the only representative of the Czech Republic.
The Math4U project has won the European Language Label Award 2020
The European Language Label was established as an initiative of the European Commission and has been awarded in the Czech Republic since 2002 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research for exceptional and innovative language education projects that creatively contribute to improving the quality of language education, motivating students and making the best use of resources to expand the range of languages.
What is the goal of the EJCL?
- To promote high-quality, innovative projects in the field of language education.
- To inspire other teachers to adopt new language teaching methods.
- To increase the motivation of pupils and students to study foreign languages.
- To inspire language teaching professionals, teachers, school heads, school founders, and other individuals in the field of language teaching through an online database of all award-winning projects by presenting “examples of good practice” in the field of language teaching.
In 2020 there were set the following priorities:
1/ Improving access to linguistic diversity, developing inclusion in schools, and supporting teachers and school leaders.
2/ Removing language barriers in order to create dynamic border regions.
3/ Languages in lifelong learning.
4/ Foreign language as a means of acquiring and expanding competencies and skills.
Forty-six projects were entered in the competition, and 7 of them won the European Language Label Award 2020.
We thank all the collaborators and teachers who helped the Math Exercises for You (Math4U) project become one of the seven award-winning projects.

Math4U has been selected for the publication - The Best of the Label Language Award 2014 - 2020
Czech National Agency for International Education and Research has published a brochure that presents the best projects that have been awarded the European Language Label Award in the past seven years. The jury always selected one of the best projects for each of the past seven years.
Czech National Agency for International Education and Research then addressed selected institutions with the question of where they have moved in the field of languages since the implementation of the project and in what way the project helped their further development.
In the brochure, you will find information on the course of the last seven years, reminders of the best projects, and answers from representatives of individual institutions.
Our project Math Exercises for You was selected as the best in 2020.
