What results are expected during the project and on its completion?
The objectives of the project are to increase the digital knowledge and competences among teachers and students through a wide variety of workshops and activities.The emphasis is on enhancing existing educational opportunities and using innovative approaches through which students can acquire the distinctive skills while through exchange of good practices the teachers will gain new teaching methods and teaching materials. We intend to carry these through formal education, through different subjects, cross-curriculum learning and with different out-of-school and project activities with strong emphasis on interdependence of all the topics that we will deal with throughout the project time.
