Introduction

The Our Digital Village Project

Rapid digital transformation has influenced education, work and life and the
Covid-19 pandemic has only highlighted more the divergences linked to
digitisation in some territories, especially between urban and rural areas, and the
need for innovation in education to respond to these challenges.

For this reason, Our Digital Village aims to intervene in rural areas by promoting

the acquisition of digital and transversal skills, preparing people to face the
challenges of the future. It will do so by co-creating high-quality educational
content that responds to the needs of the local context, while simultaneously
ensuring the long-term transformation towards digitalisation through active
awareness raising on all levels of society.

Through self-analysis workshops, the intrinsic motivation to change will be
explored, and the needs of each local context will be identified. These will be taken
in mind while co-designing the educational materials, followed by a training for
teachers and trainers to ensure their capacity to implement the co-designed
activities with their learners.

The Training Outline

Description

Our Digital Village aims to create educational materials, which are adaptable to

different educational and geographical contexts aiming to strengthen the digital
and transversal skills of teachers, trainers, and learners. The present “Training
Outline” provides a proposed training structure and materials for a 30-hour
course. Its main objective is to equip teachers and trainers with the necessary
skills and knowledge to implement the Our Digital Village Activity Kit, fostering the

development of transversal and digital skills in both formal and non-formal
educational settings. Please note that this Training Outline is not intended to be
viewed as a curriculum dedicated to the educational ICT topics (Robotics, Coding,
Microcontrollers, 3D modelling and printing, and web-development).

The Outline complements the Our Digital Village “Activity Kit” that includes
practical ICT activities in the form of ICT challenges and pedagogical guidelines for

the implementation of those activities in class. The Training Outline is composed
