🌟 All Digital Awards 2025 – Call for Nominations 🌟
The All Digital Awards celebrate individuals – teachers, trainers, educators, changemakers – across Europe who empower people to thrive in the digital age.
Every day, thousands of these dedicated professionals work in digital competence centres across Europe to advance digital inclusion and empower communities. They help people gain access to digital tools and services, equip adults with essential and advanced digital skills, and introduce learners to the potential of AI and emerging technologies.
These educators and changemakers also promote digital well-being, teaching online safety, privacy, and digital citizenship, while advocating for inclusive policies that ensure everyone has equal opportunities to thrive in the digital age. Through their efforts, they drive innovation, support employability, and build a more digitally resilient and equitable society.
The All Digital Awards honour their innovation, dedication, and the inspiring impact they make on people’s lives. It’s an opportunity for the All Digital network to turn impact into awarded stories!
🎯 What We Celebrate in 2025
This year, we recognise individuals who are making outstanding contributions in one of five key areas:
1. Access to Digital
In 2025, this category is linked to the Accessible Digital Education (ADEDU) project (ad-edu.eu), co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme. The award recognises outstanding educators and educational practices that use inclusive and accessible technologies and approaches in adult education. The focus is on supporting learners affected by learning disabilities and fostering the inclusion of marginalised or excluded groups in adult learning.
2. Digital Upskilling
This category celebrates educators who are empowering adults, in formal or non-formal education settings, with advanced digital skills that enable them to thrive in today’s digital society. These skills go beyond basic digital literacy and are essential for adapting to technological change, boosting employability, supporting entrepreneurial ventures, and enabling individuals to reskill or upskill for quality employment opportunities.
3. AI & Emerging Technologies
This category recognises educators who are at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies into adult learning and education. Nominees in this category help learners build a basic understanding of AI and emerging technologies and enable them to use these tools effectively and responsibly. This award also highlights educators who incorporate AI and emerging technologies into the learning process itself.
4. Digital Well-being
This category honours educators who promote the safe, healthy, and confident use of digital technologies, placing digital well-being at the heart of their teaching. It includes efforts to raise awareness and build skills around cybersecurity, online safety, digital privacy, and ethics, while also addressing mental health, screen time balance, and the emotional impact of digital life. Educators in this category empower learners to become responsible Digital Citizens by fostering empathy, critical thinking, and civic engagement in online spaces.
5. Digital Skills Policy
This category recognises outstanding changemakers who actively advocate for and shape policies that advance digital inclusion and competencies across all segments of society. These individuals work to influence local, national, or European-level policies that promote equitable access to digital opportunities, support lifelong learning, and reduce the digital divide. They play a key role in ensuring that digital transformation leaves no one behind and that digital skills are embedded in inclusive and forward-looking education policies.
