The workshop aims at bringing together policy makers, teachers, school leaders, researchers and representatives of the K12 sector of education on wider benefits of making their schools digitally mature, open and innovative.
Participants will examine how schools can be supported in using self-reflection tools to understand the current position of the school as a learning organisation and build on the results to define and implement a concrete set of actions by providing a step-by-step support mechanism for school heads and teachers.
The event will take place between 14:00-15:30 CEST. It consists of presentations of the Reflecting 4 Change project results so far, followed by a panel of experts and interaction with the audience.
