The pandemic pushed teachers to use digital environments, accelerating digital transformation in education.

Teachers and students had to adapt to working with digital tools but, also, to be aware of the social, emotional, and affective aspects of a digital technology-based education. Many teachers did not have the skills to properly use these tools in a pedagogical effective way.

The D-Paideia, an ERASMUS+ project, will improve the skills and competencies of the teachers cross-sectorally to teach effectively in a digital environment. Using the DigCompEdu framework, we will take into consideration all the skills and needs that emerged from the pandemic period. The D-Paideia project aims to enable teaching of high quality in a digital environment, inclusive for all learners. Especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

To meet its objectives, D-Paidea plans:

1. To update the DigCompEdu qualifications framework to consider these aspects that emerged from the pandemic experience.
2. To develop a curriculum to train teachers and practitioners (of all levels) on these skills.
3. Develop a methodology and provide support to educational institutions to develop pedagogical digital strategies, in the framework of a whole school approach.

D-Paidea will contribute to the digital transition, by helping adult educators and trainers to be better prepared to teach in online environments. Through its activities it will reach.

• 300 teachers to be involved in the pilot activities.
• 300 teachers implementing the new skills with their students.
