"Our Erasmus+ KA229 partnership comprises 6 schools from 6 European countries (Spain, Republic of North Macedonia, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland and Lithuania) linked to this very ambitious project whose main objective is to develop digital competences in students, as well as the good use of Information and Communication Technologies for Education (ICTE).In recent decades, our society has undergone significant changes that require different responses in the education of future citizens. The school must prepare its students to cope with an increasingly complex society and an increasingly demanding job market, defined by international competition. In the European reference framework (""Europe 2020"" strategies) a consensus has been reached on the objectives of European education systems: our pupils must achieve at the end of their compulsory schooling fundamental competences, in order to evolve effectively in a changing society and to build a participatory and democratic future; these are THE KEY COMPETENCIES. The DIGITAL competency is one of the eight competencies and must be an essential part of the educational pathway.If most students today have access to computers, smartphones, tablets, video games, internet, social networks, etc., it is essential that school plays an educational role. At school, students must learn the proper use of ICTEs under the guidance of a competent teacher. For these reasons the inclusion of ICTEs in schools is of great importance and can be the way to present, develop and reinforce educational contents. This project aims to work on the different educational subjects through the appropriate use of ICTEs, introducing students to both digital literacy and the development of a critical attitude that enables them to make the most of the vast information circulating on networks.We will start by introducing Computational Thinking (ROBOTICS) from kindergarten as an introduction to digital competence and, at the same time, we will offer digital resources to work on the different contents of the subjects (national language, math, science, foreign language, art, etc.) that will be shown to the students as the project progresses.A major joint activity will be carried out by all partners in the first year in order to implement all the digital learning: ""A business in my school.” The aim of this activity is to spread the entrepreneurial culture among children for the purpose of awakening the entrepreneurial spirit. The creation of the logo of the company, the statutes and an electronic e-mail as a communication tool between the different cooperatives of the students of the partnership, advertising, labelling and accounting will be developed with digital tools learned by the students. The products made by the students (with recyclable materials, no plastics) will be sold at the local market or at the school. The money obtained from the sale will be donated to the NGO AFT Burkina.The other main objective of our project is to contribute to the proper use of ICTEs among students. Students are often exposed to inappropriate websites. This leads us to wonder about their ability to judge the use of technological tools. Parents and teachers have a role to play in educating children about ICTEs. Both will take the necessary steps to ensure that children are well guided through their schooling with respect to ICTs.Over the course of the two-year project, we will establish fundamental standards of use and security in the use of ICTEs and social networks. We will develop a guide for children, their parents and teachers containing standards for the proper use of ICTEs. In addition, and in order to inform students and their parents about the risks of the Internet, we will invite the gendarmerie group of each city to hold conferences on this theme.Another major joint activity will be carried out by all partners in the second year to implement what has been learned about the proper use of ICTEs: ""SHORT FILM FESTIVAL.” As a culmination, we will prepare a festival of short films made by students and parents using different mobile phone applications and under the theme ""Environmental Conservation"". This event will be organized in Spain at the end of the 2nd year on the occasion of the closure of the project. Consideration must also be given to the integration of students with educational needs. The use of digital technology allows students with learning disabilities to acquire greater autonomy and to overcome difficulties in the acquisition or automation of learning."
