The use of technology and digital content has been expanding rapidly in recent years. However, the population is still mainly insensitive to digital changes or has reservations about using technology in everyday life. In society, there are increasing demands for digital content, which teachers and other pedagogical workers and training organisers find difficult to follow in their work. Children, adults and the elderly need quality training to improve their digital competences for work and in everyday life. Within the project, the use of digital technology is encouraged with three contact centres for grouping and active use of modern digital technology and the exchange of knowledge, the active involvement of vulnerable groups in social life is promoted by increasing the competences of teachers, mentors, multipliers and other employees in the public sector who spread their knowledge among preschool children, pupils, students, adults and the elderly. The project also encourages innovation and creativity in formal and informal education by developing new attractive learning approaches that raise the quality of services. Main project result is permanent increase of digital competences of teachers and training providers and their introduction at work and in life by developing 39 new programmes.
Summary of bilateral results
Having a Norwegian project partner, PIKSEL Produksjoner, significantly enhanced the Digi.komp project in several ways. Their expertise in digital technologies and education introduced innovative methods and best practices that might not have been available otherwise. The bilateral partnership also facilitated a valuable cultural exchange, broadening the participants' perspectives and enhancing their understanding of international practices, which led to more comprehensive and effective outcomes. The presence of a Donor Project Partner also brought a level of credibility and recognition to the project, attracting greater support and engagement from the local community.
The bilateral cooperation yielded significant results. Shared knowledge and practices led to the development of innovative teaching methods and the implementation of open-source digital tools, enhancing the overall quality of the educational workshops. This partnership also fostered a deeper understanding of cultural and technological practices between the two countries, which was beneficial for all participants. The bilateral collaboration had wider effects, such as strengthening international ties and setting a precedent for future cross-border projects. It also contributed to the professional growth of educators and facilitators involved, who can now apply these newly acquired skills and knowledge in their respective fields, further disseminating the benefits of the project.
There are plans to continue the bilateral collaboration; the PIKSEL Produksjoner is developing a project concept on bio-art helping in development of rural areas and addressing environmental problems in heavy industry affected areas. Slovenian project partners will contribute their experience and solutions of involved regions. Further cooperation between the Slovenian project partners in the field of education is also very likely.
