Short description:

The eTOM SK-AT project uses in synergy with the projects eTOM AT-CZ & eTOM AT-HU the 7c model to focus on the skills that are essential to strengthening our children and young people in an “Education for Tomorrow”: digital competence paired with collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, communication, culturality and contextual competence.

The project eTOM SK-AT focuses on environmental and climate education, language awareness & multilingualism and cultural diversity. Innovative educational concepts and supportive materials will be developed, piloted and published on the eTOM Plattform.

Other cross-border activities in Vienna and Slovakia include school partnerships & excursions, teacher’s workshops & job shadowing programs and the establishment of regional competence centers. This will contribute to the exchange of experience and the achievement of common project goals.
