The project "eSafety-eCreativity Network for Teachers, Parents & Guardians" includes the design and implementation of a holistic learning network to support Digital Readiness.
The project has two objectives:
Supporting Digital Readiness with a focus on cultivating Digital Competences/Digital Literacy of teachers, parents, guardians and mental health professionals.
Counselling of parents/guardians, teachers and professionals on issues related to the development of digital competencies of children/students, focusing on empathic active listening techniques.
