It is supposed to enrich their portofolio with relevant training materials for teaching others on digital security topics.

  4. Puting the acquired knowledge into practice by trying to successfully cope up with the interactive digital security simulation exercises.

Results

  • A new framework of the necessary digital sovereignty and digital security skills and competences for VET teachers/trainers and other individuals;
  • An innovative micro-learning training material on Digital Sovereignty Competences;
  • An online platform through which VET teachers/trainers will be able to respond and react to various scenarios of cyber-attacks and digital security breaches;
  • An interactive Digital Sovereignty Toolbox for VET teachers/trainers, ensuring a high level of transferability of the project’s outputs and outcomes.
  • Increased capacity of VET teachers/trainers to develop more secure and fortified digital education environments and services;
  • Increased self-awareness and critical thinking, related to the use of digital devices for an effective application of digital security measures in day-to-day work and specific situations.
