Objective:

Malta is aiming to address the two core priorities of EU policy in school education : -Fostering the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem - Enhancing digital skills and competencies for the digital transformation This will be achieved through promoting eTwinning as digital literacy within a meaningful context, because through eTwinning educators and students achieve the 21st century skills and digital competencies as laid out in the European Digital Competence Framework. We also believe that teachers, trainers and educational staff are the central focus and key in moving towards the priorities mentioned above. All this will be achieved by promoting: • eTwinning activities, ESEP and the broader Erasmus+ blended mobility through the support of our local directorate for Digital Literacy, educational policy makers and other relevant stakeholders. • Training and pedagogical support for all Educators from early childhood up to post -secondary with a view to increase both the quantity but most importantly the quality of eTwinning Projects.
