With this project, we want to support the professional development of 8 educators from the target countries by offering the opportunity to study in the microcredit programme "Using Technology in Modern Education" with the support of a scholarship. The microcredit programme offers educators and others interested in educational technology the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge on how to use technology in education in a meaningful way. Educators include general education teachers, higher education lecturers, educational developers, educational technologists, IT specialists, teacher trainers and adult trainers in lifelong learning.
