Digital literacy and tackling disinformation are among the top three digital skills needed for the 21st century. Teachers need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to empower their students to think critically, make informed choices online and stay safe whilst continuously building their resilience in the digital world.

Teachers 4.0 Digital offers a large-scale capacity-building activity  for initial training and continuous professional development of teachers and educators across Europe with a focus on Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Poland and Romania.

 

TARGET GROUPS

The main target audience groups of the project are:

  • Educators, teachers and teaching staff at all levels
  • Staff of participating organisations: Public authorities, universities, adult education providers and European networks participating in the project
  • Policymakers at local, national, regional, and European levels
  • Professional and relevant stakeholders: Local, national and European stakeholders, professionals employed in NGOs, adult educators, researchers, digital literacy experts, teachers’ organisations, youth workers and volunteer organisations
  • Wider society at local, national, and European levels

 

OBJECTIVES

The project partners work together to achieve the following objectives:

  • Development of a comprehensive curriculum that will guide teachers and educators in the ways they may teach their students the necessary skills to thrive in the digital age.
  • Design of a University course on the topic of combating disinformation and digital literacy: In addition to integrating elements of digital literacy into all initial teacher education courses, a specific course on combating disinformation, building resilience, as well as digital and information literacy will be developed as a separate course.
  • Development of an e-Learning platform for the upskilling of thousands of primary and secondary school education teachers and educators that will offer the Teachers 4.0 Digital course in a blended learning format in six European languages: Bulgarian, English, Greek, Italian, Polish and Romanian.

 

 

IMPACT

The ultimate aim of the project is the delivery of a large-scale upskilling activity involving over 2.100 in-service teachers/educators and teachers-to-be in the countries involved to help them:

  • acquire knowledge and skills related to digital literacy,
  • update their knowledge on contemporary media used by children and adolescents,
  • change their attitudes towards the role, importance and future implications of contemporary media
  • strengthen their commitment to promote digital literacy in their classrooms

The project aims to create a wider impact by initiating a public debate with the involvement of all relevant stakeholders, contributing to a policy reform on digital literacy education at national and European levels, and providing a comprehensive capacity-building framework for teachers on issues relating to tackling disinformation and promoting digital literacy.
