Objectives

The main objective of our project was to help our students acquire digital skills and other key competencies to meet the demand in the labor market of this century, as well as to ensure the digital transformation of educational institutions to enhance their capabilities, since education of the 21st century requires children to be proficient in digital citizenship skills and institutions have to provide education according to their needs.

Background

With the digital transformation, some concepts such as artificial intelligence, social networks, autonomous robots, virtual reality and cyber security have gained importance and threaten the traditional way of working of people. These issues are essential to address a European project in order to update the population, and what better than from the educational perspective. According to data from the OECD (2019), 6 out of 10 adult workers do not have the necessary skills in information and communication technologies. Developments in the world of technology are also suppressing the demand for skills in the OECD. As technology continues to transform a wide variety of businesses, employees need to enhance their existing skills or acquire new skills to adapt to the rapidly changing job market. Without a doubt, this is an essential population need in daily life, for which we developed this project.
