European Digital Education Hub

Welcome back from the festive winter break. ✨ Get ready for a year of inspiring events, shared experiences, and exciting updates. Let’s come together and reconnect within the vibrant Hub community! 

In February, we will focus on Security and safety in learning environments. Join us to explore key aspects on how to implement safety and security strategies in Virtual Learning Environments. We look forward to discussing with you during our Teachers as Researchers sessions between February 1-5 and at our webinar on “Consideration of safety and security while learning and teaching online” on February 20. Don’t miss our End of Year 2 event from the Accelerator Programme on Wednesday, January 31, where you can learn all about the digital education solutions of 7 participating teams and how testing their prototypes went. Moreover, EdTech will be featured in our next AMA with Ewoud de Kok, CEO of the EdTech company FeedbackFruits, on February 6, which is just around the corner. Navigate through the upcoming events below, get more info and add the events to your calendar.
