This project will seek for opportunities to both increase students' digital skills and increase their active involvement in online teaching activities. The project partners strongly believe that online and blended education will play an increasingly important role in our future education.
When our education aims to be inclusive and aims to contribute to raising active and engaged future citizens we need to pay more attention to social skills in blended learning. This will not only contribute to higher student involvement and higher student motivation. It will also contribute to better student achievement.
The projects' expected outcomes in regards to educators and students/learners are:
- to enhance learner & educator learning skills;
- to promote diversity & inclusivity in education;
- to make participants aware of the role they play in being a part of the solution for global issues (i.e. UN SDGs);
- to empower learners and young citizens with transversal skills needed for problem solving with an emphasis on social skills;
