ERASMUS+ CALL FOR DIGITAL EDUCATION READINESS (IN THE FIELDS OF SCHOOL EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING, AND HIGHER EDUCATION)

 

These projects aim at equipping education and training systems to face the challenges presented bythe recent sudden shift to online and distance learning, including supporting teachers to develop digital competences and safeguarding the inclusive nature of learning opportunities. The goal is to reinforce the ability of education and training institutions to provide high quality, inclusive digital education.

 

ERASMUS+ CALL FOR PARTNERSHIPS FOR CREATIVITY (IN THE FIELDS OF YOUTH, SCHOOL EDUCATION AND ADULT EDUCATION)

 

The COVID-19 crisis has hit the cultural and creative sectors particularly hard. Partnerships for Creativity aim to engage organisations in the fields of formal, informal and non-formal education, together with those from the creative and cultural sectors to stimulate European awareness and empower people of current and future generations – regardless of social and cultural background – to be successful innovators in their local environment. One of the goals is also to equip young people and adults with the necessary tools and competences needed to come up with creative and innovative solutions to face unprecedented risks, and societal challenges as well as to unveil opportunities that can be sought in a critical context.
