In today's fast-evolving digital landscape, there is a crucial need to empower educators with resources that enhance digital literacy and creativity skills. The CYANOTYPES project is here to bridge this gap, helping to equip future talent with essential skills and knowledge through the course, "Mastering Digital Competencies: From Literacy to Creative Innovation."

This session is dedicated to designing practical, skill-building lessons focused on digital creativity and innovation, aimed at boosting digital literacy and creative confidence.

As partners in the CYANOTYPES project, we would like to invite you to join the online Hackathon: "Building Open Source Data-Driven Content for Tomorrow's Educators" on 14 and 15 November 2024 to co-create training materials that prepare creatives for tomorrow.
