Through extensive international cooperation, it will improve access to high-quality education in less digitalised regions of Europe, thereby helping to reduce digital inequalities. The implementation of modern educational methods and microcredentials will provide flexible learning opportunities that can be adapted to the individual needs of different target groups.<br\/><br\/>The project will also foster cooperation between academia and the labour market, enabling a more effective connection between theory and practice and better preparing graduates for the digital demands of the labour market. In the long term, EURIDICE will establish a sustainable model of inclusive education that can serve as an example for future initiatives in the fields of digital skills and lifelong learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aim of the project: The EURIDICE Project (EURopean Inclusive education for Digital society, social Innovation and global CitizEnship) focuses on developing digital competences among students, teachers, and professionals who do not have formal education in information and communication technologies (ICT).
