Promoting IoT and Digital Twins Technologies for Community Education and Empowerment in Durrës

Within the framework of the project IoT ECO, funded by the European Union, during March 2025, two important visits were organized in the city of Durrës, with the aim of promoting advanced technologies of Internet of Things (IoT) and Digital Twins in different target groups of the community.

On March 4, 2025, an activity was carried out in Community Center for Children with Disabilities, where children had the opportunity to discover the world of technology through an educational animated video. They were introduced to how smart devices work in everyday life and how technologies like IoT and Digital Twins are transforming the world around us. The activity brought inclusive and fun technology education, proving that technology is for everyone.

Meanwhile, on March 5, 2025, a visit was held in "Beqir Çela" Vocational School, with the aim of strengthening the technological knowledge of young people and preparing them for the job market. The students were introduced to the functioning of internet-connected devices, the importance of Digital Twins in the field of engineering and manufacturing, as well as the concepts of energy efficiency, where the role of intelligent technologies in more sustainable management of energy resources was explained.

These activities demonstrate the IoT ECO project's commitment to bringing technology and innovation closer to all groups in society—from children with special needs to young people preparing for their professional future.
