In the Digi Teachers piloting training, European teachers are being provided with digital skills and tools for teaching

Digi Teachers Working Online project has progressed to the piloting phase, and the first version of the website has been published. In a five-country Erasmus+ collaboration project, the aim is to enhance the capabilities of teachers and instructors working with learners with special needs to implement online and hybrid teaching.

The ongoing training pilot involves teachers from Finland, Germany, Italy, and Spain. A shared learning platform enables peer learning with colleagues from different countries, while country-specific implementations allow for the utilization of existing applications in partner organizations and taking different target groups into consideration. The project partners’ clients include vocational students, individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as young and adult participants in rehabilitative work activities.

Based on country-specific surveys and the DigCompEdu framework, TIEKE has played a central role in defining a common curriculum and learning objectives, as well as verifying competencies with digital open badges.

All outputs will be compiled and made available on a website, with the first version already containing curriculum, training materials, evaluation tasks, tool descriptions, and additional information on digital badges. The contents of the pages are produced in English, with automatic translation used for language versions so far. Work on the website and toolkit will continue into autumn 2024.

Pilot: Recognition of circular economy competences with digital Open Badges

The circular economy will continue to be a key theme in all our economic activities, which is why developing circular economy competences is vital. Competences should also be measurable and visible – in this pilot circular economy competences will be recognised and made visible by means of digital Open Badges.

If data can be transported in an agreed format, digital product passports will revolutionise the circular economy. What does the Peppol messaging service offer? Would organisations benefit if the information in digital product passports was sent with Peppol messages?

Europe’s green transition soon to be part of everyday life thanks to digital product passports

The Digital Product Passport is a key technology for the EU to make sustainable development and the circular economy a daily reality for individuals and businesses. The Digital Product Passport provides a comprehensive view of the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, making responsible consumption easier. It will not only accelerate the EU’s green transition but also create new business opportunities and help make sustainably operating companies more competitive.
