SELFIE Forum 2021: Empowering schools for learning in the digital age

The SELFIE tool supports primary and secondary schools to develop their digital strategy, alongside school communities – school leaders, teachers and students. It was launched in 2018, based on the European Digital Competence Framework for Organisations (DigCompOrg).

After almost 3 years, it has gathered 1.7 million users from 82 countries.

Upcoming community forum

On 7-8 October 2021 we will bring the SELFIE community together in the second SELFIE Forum. The event will welcome school leaders, teachers, students, trainers, national coordinators, policy makers, researchers, practitioners and future potential users. Plenary sessions of the online event will be live-streamed.

Inspiring schools

This forum will focus on providing ideas and inspiration for schools to create their own action plan and take a step forward in terms of their digital empowerment.

To this end, it will bring together different groups of the educational community, users and those involved in SELFIE (policy makers, teachers, management teams, students, educational managers and researchers, among others) to share their experiences and examples of good practices. Groups will also reflect on how the tool might be improved, and on and critical aspects of digital education in the context of blended learning and teachers as designers of their professional development.

As a high-level event, Commissioner Mariya Gabriel, responsible for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, and Commissioner Nicolas Schmit, responsible for Jobs and Social Rights will both participate. 

Other event features

The forum will also cover

  • launch of the Work-Based Module (WBL) to bring VET institutions and companies closer in discussing how they jointly embed digital technology in the education and training provided. Watch the promotional video
  • presentation of SELFIEforTEACHERS, a new self-reflection tool designed to support the development of the teachers’ digital skills inside and outside of the school. A dedicated workshop will look specifically at teacher digital competence and how the tool can support professional learning planning.
