eTOM

The eTOM AT-CZ project is dedicated to the 7K model, the 7 competences that are essential for strengthening our pupils in an ‘Education for Tomorrow’: digital competence paired with collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, communication, cultural and contextual competence.

If young people are to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities for the education of tomorrow, it must also be ensured that teachers have the necessary qualifications: Cross-border training programmes as well as teaching materials will be developed in both languages and published on the eTOM platform.

The participating primary schools from Vienna will be equipped with digital boards in order to strengthen pupils’ digital skills in the form of a ‘virtual classroom’.  The workshop series ‘The digital board in the classroom’ will provide teachers with specific knowledge for the optimal use of digital boards in lessons and for a virtual cross-border exchange. Other project activities include job shadowing in Czech schools and Austrian schools, cross-border DigiChallenges and the exchange of experiences through project events in Vienna and the Czech Republic.
