Project description

The future of education is co-created by kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers who take digital transformation as an opportunity to design future fit learning environments in a sound pedagogical way.

What is special about the project?

Digital transformation in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools is a topic of high importance for our society. To empower teachers to become change makers, there is a need to showcase emerging good practice and to support co-creation and knowledge transfer networks.
