51 organisations from 23 countries gather in Athens on April 23 for the kick off of Open Discovery Space – an innovative new EU funded project that aims to create a socially-powered, multilingual open learning infrastructure to boost the adaptation of eLearning Resources.
Open Discovery Space will engage students, teachers, parents and policymakers in a first of its kind of pan-European effort to address the key challenges facing the European eLearning environment. This goal will be achieved by engaging teachers and pupils in the co-creation of innovative, new educational practices rather than simply introducing them to the ‘new.’ In so doing, Open Discovery Space will advance the modernization of school education by increasing the digital competences of key stakeholders whilst simultaneously stimulating demand for innovative eLearning resources. Ultimately, the project will engage stakeholders in the production of new user-generated educational activities in a socially-empowered, multilingual environment and empower them with integrated access to unique eLearning resources from educational repositories around the world.
