Work starts on the Digital Education Hub Community of Practice

Creating a community of practice

After the evaluation of an open call for tenders, a consortium of 7 partners and 4 subcontractors led by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has been selected to support the development of the Digital Education Hub under the steering of the European Commission and the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

Efforts will focus on the following priorities

• creating a collaborative community of practice
• knowledge-sharing and mapping
• accelerating innovation in digital education

The work of the community

The community of practice will be at the centre of the Digital Education Hub’s activities. It will connect the digital education community by bringing together diverse stakeholders across sectors of education and training.

The community will share expertise, best practices and innovative solutions for digital education and promote co-creation and the effective implementation of digital education.

The community will reflect on best practices gathered and how they can be replicated, mainstreamed and adapted in different contexts. The first outputs of the work of the community will be shared through the European Education Area Portal from May 2022.
