DESCRIPTION

This Congress aims to provide the project with an international dimension that we understand is necessary.

This multiplier event will last two days in morning and afternoon sessions. In them, different high-level speakers will expose the new trends in education and its digital transition not only in scientific research but also in teaching practice. Our own experts from the association will show the results of the report CHALLENGES AND PROPOSALS IN DIGITAL EDUCATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY and its link with the interactive e-book «CHECK&ACT».

We count on the participation and dissemination of the results of very important non-formal partners that endow this initiative with a high value and a guaranteed impact on a large scale.

On the one hand, the National Association of Tutor Agents, agents especially dedicated to collaboration with the educational world and professionals in the social field focused on conflict resolution in the school environment. This will allow us to include in the Congress new and specific ways to address issues related to the digital divide in a very practical and realistic way: digital absenteeism, neglect of families in the digital sphere, relationship with local and regional Social Services, legislation and protocols of acting etc.

Prestigious teachers from the UNIR in their Master’s Degree in Educational Technology and Digital Competences will offer us the fundamental lines of study and debate.
