The event was held at Byzantino hotel, Riga Feraiou Street. 106, Patras and was attended by 56 people in total. It lasted 2 hours and was split in two parts. The first focused on presenting the project’s key information (scope, objectives, partnership, etc.) and the outcomes achieved so far. Specifically, the Greek national desk research on the emerging trends and needs from the digital transformation with a special emphasis on education, the orientation seminars and training activities for students of Greek schools, as well as the online course for teachers that was developed and delivered by the DAISSy research group were presented. The second part of the event focused on similar activities of the DAISSy research team in other Erasmus+ projects.

Three short interviews with people who attended the event were realized, who expressed their satisfaction with the knowledge they gained and their willingness to participate in both future educational activities and dissemination events from the projects of the research team DAISSy.

The training program was successfully completed by 214 trainees with 188 (88%) being Greeks. A prerequisite for successful completion and obtaining the corresponding certificate was the submission of a group-based assignment, in which the trainees were asked to design a lesson plan using techniques and tools they learned during the training to describe a teaching activity.

The results of the evaluation of the training program were quite positive and encouraging. Specifically, the e-learning platform, the structure and content of the program, as well as the overall learning experience were evaluated. The usability, layout, organization and ease of navigation were evaluated positively by more than 90% of the trainees who participated in the evaluation (n = 169). The answers regarding the quality, usefulness and relevance of the educational material to the work tasks of the trainees fluctuated at the same levels. Finally, in percentages that exceeded 85%, the trainees agreed that they enjoyed their participation in an interesting program that covered modern and applied topics.

We would like to thank all the RE-EDUCO project partners for their support. Most importantly, we would like to thank all the trainees of the online training program for their massive participation, smooth collaboration and constructive feedback that will allow us to improve the learning experience, quality and content of similar programs in the future.

In the context of the first of the RE-EDUCO outputs, several information and orientation seminars and training activities took place in all partner countries to empower people and community and increase their awareness of risks and opportunities of digitalization for life, learning and professions. The actions had an overall duration of 52 hours (per country) and the topics addressed included:

• European Context for digital innovation
• New technologies: risk and opportunities for work and life
• CyberBullismo
• Digital Ethics
• Critical use of social media and internet data
• New skills and new labour perspective: Trends, profile, emerging competences
• Digital technologies & Society 5.0
• New Digital Identity and Active citizenship
• Secure data and privacy skills and new labour perspective: Trends, profile, emerging

Specifically, seminars and training activities in Greece took place from 1/3/2021 until 24/4/2021 with the participation of three provincial schools, namely the 5th General Lyceum of Agrinio, the 5th General Lyceum of Heraklion and the Model High School of Mytilene. A total of 127 students and 9 teachers were registered and participated. Since the schools were closed throughout Greece due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all actions were realized in an online manner. Both teachers and students expressed their satisfaction with the topics and the educational content and their willingness to participate in other project activities as well, such as the RE-EDUCO’s teachers’ online training and school contest.

The international consortium is composed by Link Campus University, Italian Digital Revolution (Italy), Hellenic Open University (Greece), Omnia (Finland), Cyprus Computer Society (Cyprus) and Insomnia consulting (Spain).

The meeting allowed the partners involved to introduce themselves and share skills, methodologies and tools for the development of the activities that will follow in the coming months. During the meeting, the foundations of the first phases of the project were laid.

The RE-EDUCO project promotes the production, experimentation and sharing of new approaches and training methods in digital innovation. Through research, the exchange of good practices, training and creative activities, the role of digital culture is strengthened as a means to improve the growth opportunities for students and teachers.
