"This is an Erasmus+ KA226 strategic partnership of six schools situated in countries all over Europe: Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, Serbia and Belgium. Its title is ""Digital Readiness for European Distance Learning"" (DIGI.R.E.DI) and it will last 24 months. Partner schools all belong to secondary education, most of them to the vocational one. Teachers involved are experienced in the use of ICT and in distance learning long before COVID-19 imposed its restrictions on school life as well. They are also eTwinners and open to innovation.The main objective of the project is to update the digital competences of teachers and students of partner schools by introducing new Web 2.0 tools, new software and methods that can be used to make distance learning qualitative and fruitful for the educational procedure. The institutions involved will share their knowledge and experience in the use of ICT in education and develop teaching material together. This teaching material will be tested in virtual, mixed but also some regular classes and will be uploaded on project twinspace and blog so as to be available to any teacher in and out of the schools involved. Basic project info like participants, objectives and activities, mobilities and procedures will be disseminated in the form of newsletters and the results will also be published in the form of an e-book where all partners will contribute.Well established communication even before the project begins via Twinspace, WhatsApp group and online Webex meetings has been facilitating partners coordination and promises effective cooperation. In the case of COVID limitations, the project will set off through the project Twinspace where teachers and students can start knowing each other, introducing their school premises and their areas of living and then moving to the introduction of project objectives and start experimenting with some new web tools.Six intensive training weeks for teachers will be realised as total, each one hosted in a different partner country. Their content will be related to new digital tools, a different one in each host country, through a presentation, a workshop, discussion -evaluation, presentations on e-safety and inclusiveness of each country's distance learning and project meetings for its smooth implementation. Just one Transnational Project meeting is planned to the end of the project to prepare its final report.Lots of in and out of schools dissemination practices among them an e-book with web 2.0 tools and tutorials, six Newsletters, a project blog, use of eTwinning platform will contribute to project results sustainability as well.The collaborative teaching methods developed by the partners based on new technologies will enable more interdisciplinary and intercultural activities to be carried out in the future in all the institutions involved in the project and better distance learning. The effectiveness and attractiveness of the new teaching solutions will be tested by involving students in local and foreign online activities implemented by using newly learned digital tools. Schools will become more experienced in managing European projects, better connected to their local networks and more confident to invest in their internationalisation."
