Knowing digital soft skills, ethics and new technologies, and Generation Z to counter educational and digital poverty.

The IES Toolkit platform, a free and interactive space designed for the ’empowerment of educators trainers, social workers and students, is now online. Supporting them in designing and implementing innovative educational activities through free downloadable videos, The toolkit is divided into three macro areas: Ethics and New Technologies, Generation Z and Liquid Society, and Digital Soft Skills.


Educational and digital poverty are two interconnected phenomena that profoundly affect the well-being and development of individuals and communities. Through the IES project students and teachers can explore new ways of learning in order to promote inclusive and digital education adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. In particular, the proposal targets the marginal areas of Rome and Lazio with the aim of reducing the digital divide and improving access to education.


It is precisely in Rome and its province that in-presence workshops will be organized in technical and hotel schools during April and May to implement the second part of the project.


IES is a project promoted by CIMEA, which, in line with its institutional activities and within the collaboration with the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and the Ministry of University and Research, launched a call for proposals to fund initiatives aimed at combating educational and digital poverty.
