All Digital Academy: Upskilling adult educators on key digital emerging technologies

Description

ADA proposal wants to help adult educators, trainers and learning centres to deepen their understanding of emerging digital technologies and to be better prepared and constantly updated and upskilled for the ongoing digital transformation. In fact, ADA project aims at connecting and reinforcing learning centres and organisations which are focused on educating on digital competencies and facilitating digital transition through educational activities by engaging them within a digital environment where upskilling, exchange and change-making at international, national, and local level will take place. As a Cooperation Partnership project, ADA will support organisations in increasing the overall quality, relevance, and impact of their activities by upskilling their trainers and educators, providing contents, tools, and formats to be used and replicated at national and local level and through capacity building actions within the ADA Community of Practice on emerging technologies and related topics. Networking, operating internationally, promoting mutual exchanges, jointly promoting digital culture at local, national, and international level through discussion, policy actions and change making activities, exchange and developing new practices and methodologies are the core values within ADA that are translated into the project activities.

For these reasons, the main aim of the project is to support and empower adult learning centres across Europe, in the provision of basic digital skills and competences, specifically the knowledge and understanding of key emerging digital technologies, such as AI and IoT, and related issues, such as data literacy, privacy and protection. Both the ADA Community of Practice and the training resources (including the MOOC and webinars) aim at supporting the implementation of a joint strategy to introduce peer learning activities, exchange of best practices and experiences at European level to facilitate learning centres and organisations in cooperating for digital transformation processes.
