Detailed Call Description
Proposals submitted under Lot 1 must address one of the following 2 priorities: Priority 1: Supporting high quality and inclusive digital education, in line with the Digital Education Action Plan
Education and training systems are currently undergoing a deep digital transformation, which is being driven by advances in connectivity; the widespread use of devices and digital applications; the need for individual flexibility, the wider availability of and need for high-quality digital education content and the ever-increasing demand for digital skills. The Digital Education Action Plan has two strategic priorities:
- Supporting the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem (1)
- Addressing the need to enhance digital competences for the digital transformation (2)
The Digital Education Action Plan sets out to support more effective cooperation on digital education and training at EU level through the set-up of a European Digital Education Hub. The Hub will promote cross-sectoral collaboration, identify and share good practice and support Member States and the education and training sector with tools, frameworks, guidance, technical expertise and research in the domain of digital education. The Hub should link national and regional digital education initiatives and actors and support new models for exchange of digital education content, addressing issues such as common standards, interoperability, accessibility and quality-assurance.
Forward-Looking Projects will address specifically at least one of the three following areas under Priority 1: A) Key success factors for inclusive and high-quality digital education and training. B) Artificial Intelligence in education C) High-quality digital education content
Priority 2: Supporting education and training systems to adapt for the green transition The European Green Deal highlights the importance of mobilising the education and training sector to support the transition to a greener and more sustainable Europe. Education and training systems and institutions can be catalysts for achieving this change. All these actions aim at helping people acquire knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient economy and society.
Forward-Looking Projects will address at least one of the three following areas under Priority 2: A) Promoting whole institution approaches to sustainability B) Developing the skills and competences of learners and educators related to sustainability C) Empowering citizens to act on sustainability, the environment and climate change, including in the context of the new Education for Climate Coalition
