(Don Bosco International Media Academy, Paris) – The Don Bosco International Media Academy – Paris hosted the final management meeting of the Erasmus+ project “Digital Horizons: Innovating VET through CGI and VFX Essentials” (Project No. 2024-1-HU01-KA210-VET-000257409). Rooted in the Salesian values of education, innovation, collaboration, and service to young people, the meeting marked the successful completion of a two-year European initiative dedicated to strengthening digital creative skills in Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Funded under the Erasmus+ KA210-VET programme, the project promoted international cooperation, innovation in vocational education, and the sharing of best practices among European institutions.
About the Project
Digital Horizons brought together four partner institutions to bridge the gap between traditional media education and the growing demand for CGI (computer-generated imagery) and VFX (visual effects) expertise in the creative industries. Inspired by Don Bosco’s vision of empowering young people through education and practical skills, the partners worked collaboratively over two years to develop resources that translate professional creative practices into accessible learning tools for VET educators and students.
Partner Institutions
– Debreceni SZC Kreatív Technikum (Hungary)
– SZÁMALK-Szalézi Technikum és Szakgimnázium (Hungary)
– OGEC François d’Estaing (France)
– Don Bosco International Media Academy (France)
Key Outcomes
The project produced two major deliverables, developed through close collaboration between educators, students, and industry professionals:
– A comprehensive Teacher’s Handbook on CGI and VFX fundamentals, designed to support VET educators in delivering high-quality instruction.
– A digital curriculum, featuring practical assignments, and real-world examples for students.
With the support of the partnering institutions, Don Bosco International Media Academy Paris played a significant role in preparing and refining the Teacher’s Handbook, helping translate professional CGI and VFX practices into practical classroom resources.
Both resources will be made freely available to VET schools across Europe starting September 2026.
Final Meeting in Paris
The closing meeting brought together representatives from all four partner organizations.
Looking Ahead
As the project concludes in August 2026, Digital Horizons stands as a strong example of international cooperation inspired by the Salesian mission of Don Bosco — providing quality education, fostering creativity and innovation, promoting solidarity among nations, and equipping young people with the skills, values, and confidence needed to become responsible citizens and professionals in the digital age.
