The DI4All project strives to enhance the overall competencies, skills, and learning outcomes of young learners in schools, while promoting the advancement of teaching quality, innovation, and digital inclusion in education. Additionally, the project aims to bolster the competencies of educators by fostering digital inclusion in education and addressing the issue of misinformation through teacher education and learning.

This program will be created based on an analysis of successful practices from teachers and trainers in the field. Additionally, a comprehensive guide for educators, along with project-specific intellectual materials, will be prepared. The project will also involve research on best practices and case studies related to digital inclusion. Lastly, a final seminar will be conducted to disseminate the project’s findings and insights.
