Educating is a team game

Description

IES was created to address the challenges of educational and digital poverty: two interconnected phenomena that profoundly affect the well-being and development of individuals and communities.

Through the implementation of experimental teaching methods, such as the use of an innovative educational toolkit and the development of practical and engaging workshops, IES aims at actively involving participants, making them protagonists of change.

This approach will allow students and teachers to explore new ways of learning, promoting inclusive and digital education, adapted to the challenges of the 21st century.

The project targets marginal areas in Rome and Lazio with the aim of reducing the digital divide and improving access to education.

Goals

Reduce educational poverty: Promote access to quality education for
all, particularly for vulnerable communities.

Fight the digital divide: Provide concrete tools to ensure digital inclusion and access to technologies.

Empowerment of educators and students: Provide innovative resources to enable teachers to adopt new and challenging teaching methods that meet the needs of a changing world.
