DAECeL - Digital Arts Education - a way towards creative eLearning
The important issue in the project "Digital Arts Education - a way
towards creative eLearning" is that not only technical skills but also
creativity with dialogical skills and abilities to express one self are
essential in promoting digital literacy. The aim of the project is to
support strongly active citizenship and creativity of children and young
people with the intention of promoting skills of ICT using arts as an
instrument. The project brings together already existing social,
technological and artistic innovations in order to create in close
collaboration between arts organisations and school education such content
of eLearning that it provides easy access to ICT to arts and to
international dialogue.

E-RETAIL - Digital literacy in lifelong learning of the retail trade
sector
The ultimate objective of the E-RETAIL project is to make an evaluation
and dissemination of those projects that carry out the promotion of
digital literacy through the introduction of the new information and
communication technologies in lifelong learning. These projects would be
focused mainly in the retail trade sector, which is our starting point
with the project "Pilot action to promote life long learning through ICT
in the retail trade sector of garments", with the prospect that the
results obtained at the end of the implementation of our project could
be exportable to other sectors, primarily to those fields that have a
bigger shortcoming on the subject of digital literacy in life long
learning.

EuNIC - Towards a European "conceptual approach" to digital literacy
The aim of the EuNIC project is to promote throughout Europe a
"concept-oriented" approach to digital literacy, as opposed to a
technology oriented one. The main objectives of the project are:
- to identify a European shared approach to digital literacy taking
into account the different national contexts;
- to design and develop ICT services for supporting participants
during the courses on digital literacy;
- to define a model for supporting teachers and tutors, and to support
it with ICT services able to create embryos of virtual ‘communities of
practice' for teachers and tutors;
- to develop methods and ICT based- tools aiming at supporting the
participants after the course, so that the developed competences can be
continuously stimulated and further strengthened;
- to define a transferability strategy describing how to extend the
prototype to a larger scale within the countries involved in the project
and possibly in other European countries.
