The DOEER project had two objectives: to strengthen digital skills in higher education and to integrate equality-based practices across all disciplines and professional fields. The aim was to help universities improve teaching and learning through the use of innovative digital and pedagogical tools, including an open online course (MOOC) accessible as an OER. In this way, students and partners acquired new skills in the use of ICT for inclusive education and work in blended and online environments. At the same time, DOEER sought to promote awareness and the ability to recognize and address inequalities, contributing to more equitable academic and professional contexts. Another key objective was to bridge the gap between higher education and the labor market by piloting the course in the tourism sector, promoting employability, and testing its transferability to other sectors. Overall, the project promoted the achievement of a lasting impact by integrating its methodology into partner institutions and promoting resilience and inclusion in European higher education.
The aim of the DOEER project was to support equality-based resilience in Italy, Spain, Romania, Slovakia, Cyprus, and Slovenia by tackling discrimination in higher education and the workplace through digital learning and cooperation between universities and businesses. The main objective was to build more inclusive education systems, adopting a multi-level approach with equality as an essential condition for social, economic, and individual development. The project promoted the principles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular: non-discrimination, cultural/linguistic diversity, and gender equality. DOEER considered equality as a practice to be integrated into the areas of inclusion—personal, social, and professional—by strengthening respect for diversity. At the same time, it contributed to the digital transformation of higher education, in line with the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, supporting resilience and recovery after COVID-19. Focusing on people and values, the project also addressed the risks of digital exclusion, providing effective learning tools to make societies more competitive and inclusive.
