About our partnership
Our students were born in the digital era and an interactive world. A world ruled by communication. According to the 2020 EU Development Plan’s innovation vision and EU educational criteria, digital competence and language proficiency are indispensable for today’s world
Our project “Digital English” focused on digital, language and social competencies. In the long term, we aimed to guide youngsters to become global citizens, self-aware and respectful of other cultures, innovators, team workers, and critical thinkers whilst learning to use digital tools.

The project gave opportunity to students and teachers from 6 different countries to work together, exchange ideas, and learn with and from one another. During the project activities there were moments to improve the use of digital tools in education, learn about each other's culture, make friendships for life, and change lives.
Students, aged 14-19, from different socio-economic status, ethnicity, geographical opportunities and accompanying teachers participated on behalf of their own schools in each mobility. These transnational activities were meticulously organized by each partner. Participants learnt how to use and create content with various digital tools, whilst using and learning English in authentic situations. In every mobility there were moments for sharing cultural aspects of each country.
The project had different aims to meet the needs of our students. Our goals were to improve the English language of the participants, promote each partners’ language, develop the use of educational digital tools, turn students into innovative content creators instead of only consumers, develop students’ digital literacy, raise awareness of world citizenship, increase the level of respect for each other, create intercultural interaction, develop soft skills and promote friendships.
As long term impacts, partners expect that “Digital English” will create changes in each school and increase the interest of teachers and students to participate in new European projects.
