The Digital Citizenship Education (DigiCitizenEdu) project is an Erasmus+ funded initiative running from January 2026 to end of June 2028 (30 months). DigiCitizenEdu aims to advance Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) by equipping educators and learners across Europe with the skills and knowledge needed to actively and responsibly participate in today’s digital society.

The project is carried out by a consortium of five project partners from across Europe: All Digital (coordinator; Belgium), the Hellenic Open University (Greece), Fundacion Esplai Ciudadania Comprometida (ESPLAI; Spain), Association For Social Innovations Association For Development Of New Options Skopje (ARNO; North Macedonia) and SOLIDAR+.

The project responds to the challenges of digital transformation such as digital rights, critical thinking, media literacy and emerging technologies, by empowering individuals regardless of background, age, or prior knowledge to confidently exercise their rights and responsibilities in the digital sphere. Building on the partners’ strong commitment to lifelong learning, the project leverages the All Digital Academy (ADA) as its main delivery platform for high-quality, accessible educational resources. DigiCitizenEdu promotes social cohesion, democratic participation, and digital inclusion by integrating critical thinking, digital rights, media literacy, and AI-enhanced training methodologies into adult education.

Key activities include the development of a specialised training programme on Digital Citizenship Education and the piloting of this training with educators across Europe.
DigiCitizenEdu directly targets adult educators, lifelong learners, policymakers, and civil society organisations, fostering an interconnected ecosystem for capacity-building, policy dialogue, and digital empowerment. Through its innovative multi-stakeholder approach, the project bridges education, policy, and civic participation, contributing to a more inclusive and digitally competent European society.
