Hybrid student worshop in Slovenia
On 9 February 2026, the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School hosted a hybrid student workshop in Rogla, Slovenia, within the framework of the IGNITE project. In this fresh and inspiring environment, international students explored the project’s goals and cutting-edge digital learning tools – including the IGNITE app, nanomodules, the Virtual Learning Garden, and the IgniteSphere e-room. 💻📚 Students individually selected nanomodules based on their interests and engaged in related learning tasks. The workshop concluded with a joint discussion with invited lecturers and a feedback survey. Their insights will help shape the next steps of the IGNITE project! 🚀
