DAISSy-HOU organized and participated in the 2nd Transnational Partners’ Meeting of the “DigComp HUB” project, in Athens (Greece)

Posted on by

On November 23rd and 24th, 2023, the 2nd Transnational Partners’ Meeting (TPM) of the ‘DigComp HUB‘ European project took place, which was organized by the DAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University (HOU), the Greek project partner, and was hosted at the educational institution’s facilities in Athens (Greece).

The DigComp HUB project aims to support and involve educators in the digital transformation of adult education in Europe, based on the widely accepted European DigComp Framework. In this context, the 2nd TPM served as a crucial milestone for the DigComp HUB project in the effort to develop digital skills necessary for every worker in the new professional landscape.

Indeed, the 2nd TPM was exceptionally successful, providing partners with the opportunity for in-depth discussions regarding the current status of the project and its smooth continuation. The common focal point of the discussions was the strong commitment of all partners to comprehensive adult education in the digital era and the expansion of the DigComp framework across Europe.

Specifically, there was extensive discussion on the professional development of adult educators, enabling them to transfer the necessary knowledge in a constantly evolving digital work environment. For this reason, particular emphasis was placed on the design of the educational program outlined in the context of DigComp Hub, targeting lifelong learning educators and providing training for partners who will participate as instructors in the program.

The DAISSy Research Group organized the 2nd TPM and was represented by Professor Achilles Kameas, Director of DAISSy, Ms. Natalia Spyropoulou, Project Manager and Researcher at DAISSy, Ms. Rozalia Kalantzi and Mr. Gerasimos Vonitsanos, also Researchers at DAISSy. They provided a detailed presentation on issues related to the design and implementation of the educational program of DigComp HUB, as well as the training program for educators, which are topics coordinated by the Research Group. Within this context, the digital environment for the course delivery, namely the ALL DIGITAL Academy educational platform, was introduced by its technical administrator, Mr. Anastasios Papadopoulos, Technician of DAISSy, who participated remotely. Subsequently, the session focused on guidance for educators, presented by Ms. Theodora Papageorgiou, guest speaker, who analyzed the training methodology and the role of the “mentor”.

The exchange of opinions among partners was intense, addressing, among other things, the planning of Education and Training activities, the development and expansion of the DigComp CoP (Community of Practice), and the actions for disseminating and promoting the project’s outcomes. The proceedings concluded with an agreement on the next steps for implementing the project.

The DigComp HUB is a two-year project, co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Program. It is implemented by a consortium of four (4) partners from three (3) EU member states (Belgium, Greece, and Italy), with the DAISSy Research Group of Hellenic Open University operating  as the Greek partner.
