Digital data project receives quality label

Teaching the Future was developed from an earlier Erasmus Plus project D3 – Developing Digital Data literacy, which examined the importance  of teaching data literacy in schools.

D3 (2020-2023) after external review and evaluation has just been awarded the Erasmus Quality Label from the Flemish national agency EPOS (#Eposvzw)  for the work undertaken .

D3 related to the need for information literacy for all citizens in Europe helping eradicate present-day problems such as the rise of populism and mis-information in all its forms and dimensions is one of the greatest challenges faced in Europe.

D3 sought to integrate open data, digital skills and democratic engagement in schools.

The D3 project produced four outputs for schools and teachers:

IO1: A review school curricula and qualifications, open data tools
This review relates to the EC Digicomp framework and provides a capacity building tool by identifying opportunities to integrate open data and digital data tools into secondary schools and responsive to “digital data skills” gaps. Download the review
