HubHubHooray: 2-year anniversary of the European Digital Education Hub

The European community of practice for digital education

Running since June 2022, the Hub is a collaborative online community that brings together education enthusiasts from across the EU and beyond. The mission of the Hub is to offer its members a place where they can  

• share best practices
• experience peer learning
• collaborate across education and training sectors

Seeing the vibrant Hub community engage and exchange ideas was truly rewarding. I eagerly look forward to contributing more in the next year!

Workshops and working groups

Since the beginning of the Hub, more than 250 Hub members have come together in person at the various workshops in different European cities. Participants discussed with experts in the field about topics such as

• Micro-credentials
• Artificial intelligence in education
• Digital skills
• Interoperability

Moreover, 10 dedicated working groups (the so-called Hub “squads”) have collaborated to create top-notch outputs on the hot topics of digital education such as the Digital skills playbook for educators.

In the monthly “Collaborative inquiry” days (formerly Teachers as Researchers weeks), more than 1 000 participants investigated their digital education challenges as peers. Join the next sessions coming up on 12-14 June 2024.

It is very motivating for me to be part of global community that is so active in my main field of interest, where every question you make has a lot of useful feedback.
