Digital Citizen: Building Digital Competencies for Citizen Participation and Engagement

Description

Digital Citizens is an Erasmus+ project (Project no. 2025-1-DE01-KA220-HED-000354815), running from 2025-2028, bringing together 6 partners from 5 countries and coordinated by the Siegen University in Germany.

The project responds to a persistent gap:

learners across VET and higher education are expected to work, study and participate online, but digital competence is often assumed rather than taught, and educators are rarely given structured material to teach it with. Digital Citizens develops a web-based assessment quiz and a series of inclusive, culturally-adapted mini games that educators can use directly with their learners to assess their digital competence skills such as information and data literacy, digital communication, safety, digital content creation, and problem-solving.

All materials are produced in English and the partner languages (Greek, Spanish, Bulgarian, Dutch and Italian) and are freely available under an open licence through the project website and the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.
