In 2006 the EU recognised Digital Competence (DC) as one of the 8 key competences along with literacy and basic skills in science and maths. DC should not be confused with ICT skills rather the ability to apply ICT in a creative and/or critical way. This could be at home, in education, in social interaction, education and the world of work. There are 3 participating countries. Led by a local authority in each country, primary and secondary schools have been given the opportunity to participate. This project aims to upskill young people to prepare them for the world of work but also aims to offer targeted professional development opportunities for teachers and prepare them fully for the classroom and their own professional advancement. Coupled with this we aim to upskill parents and members of the wider community by actively involving them in the planned activities. We aim to meet the individual needs of participating countries whilst ensuring EU priorities are met.The European Commission Digital Competence in Practice document highlights that digital competence requires understanding in a number of fields. Digital Competence Frameworks around Europe have adopted these areas and through this project we will discover practical ways of implementation. The DC fields of focus are: Information management -Collaboration -Communication and sharing -Creation of content & knowledge -Ethics & Responsibility -Evaluation & Problem solving -Technical operations Each participating country has identified its own needs. Our digital frameworks offer guidance as to how one might develop a focused digital approach to education, this project will allow education authorities and schools the opportunity to unpick the theory and put it into practice, trialling methodology with young people at the fore.
