Media education

Project description

Numerous areas of daily and professional life have changed as a result of the fast digitalization that has occurred over the past ten years. Digital transformation is transforming society, the labour market, and the future of work as it is propelled by innovation and technological advancement. Training is frequently unavailable at the appropriate time and location and not enough people are informed. The digital crisis has highlighted the need to improve the digital skills of educators who lack the resources to assist adults in this process of change and has forced organisations that work with adults to broaden their educational offerings and acquire new open source digital tools. Through the Media Education for Aware Adults we will be able to contribute to the digital transformation of organizations that work with adults, by expanding their preparation, resilience and internal digital skills. We aim to increase the capacity and preparedness of institutions to manage an effective transition to digital education, develop a digital pedagogy for educators, include accessible and assistive technologies and the creation and innovative use of digital educational content. We are focus on improving the skills of educators and other adult education staff.
