We’re excited to share that in October 2025 our team met in Bologna (Italy) for testing our training course “Empowering Educators: Digital Citizenship Training for Adult Learners with Disabilities”. For five days, from the 13th to the 17th of October, participants explored digital citizenship, tested activities, exchanged ideas, and strengthened collaboration across Europe. The course aims to equip adult educators with tools, methods, and inclusive approaches to teach digital citizenship to learners with intellectual disabilities. During the week, we shared expectations and experiences, explored the elements of digital citizenship, learned about inclusive teaching methods and accessibility tools, practiced non-formal education, gamification and collaborative approaches, and discussed digital skills, online safety, and digital ethics. Beyond the training, participants discovered Bologna’s vibrant culture and shared great food and conversations! The perfect mix of learning, connection, and fun! First TPM in Zagreb
The CITIZEN-A project team gathered for the first TPM (Transnational Project Meeting) from February 3-5, 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia! During these three days, all partners from Italy, Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria and Germany focused on getting to know each other, building strong connections and creating a good team spirit. The agenda included a comprehensive overview of the project’s objectives and outcomes, and a discussion on the general implementation process of the project talking about Financial Management, Project Management tools and the Dissemination Plan. The participants also planned the first activities, specifically the design of the co-creation collaborative platform and the Workshop, delineating tasks and responsibilities for each partner. |
Second TPM in Palermo
From 20–22 April 2026, Citizen-A partners met in Palermo for the project’s Second Transnational Project Meeting, hosted by AES – Associazione ELA Sicilia. Over three days, partners reviewed project progress, finalised key activities, and planned the next phases, including usability testing, translations, and the upcoming work on digital inclusion and e-democracy. The meeting also provided an opportunity for cultural exchange, with partners discovering Palermo together through a guided walking tour. The meeting concluded with an overview of upcoming deadlines and responsibilities, reaffirming the partners’ commitment to working together towards the successful implementation of the Citizen-A project. Co-creation workshops
We are glad to inform you that the CITIZEN-A Project successfully held its Co-Creation Workshop in March 2025. During this interactive event, adult educators from our partnership came together to share their experiences, challenges, and priorities on how to teach digital citizenship to adults with intellectual disabilities. The workshop also introduced our Co-Creation Platform, a collaborative online space where participants can continue exchanging ideas and resources. Thanks to the active engagement of educators, we gathered valuable input that directly contributed to shaping the draft of our training course: “Empowering Educators: Digital Citizenship Training for Adult Learners with Disabilities”. We warmly thank all participants for their involvement and look forward to building on this co-creation journey. Draft training course is ready: We need your feedback!
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to the contributions collected during the Co-Creation Workshop and on our platform, the draft version of the training course “Empowering Educators: Digital Citizenship Training for Adult Learners with Disabilities” is now online. The course aims to provide adult educators with practical tools, methods, and activities to teach digital citizenship in an inclusive, accessible, and engaging way. It covers key themes such as digital literacy, online safety, ethical behavior, and participatory approaches for learners with intellectual disabilities. We invite you to visit our Co-Creation Platform on Padlet, explore the module presentations, handouts, and program outline, and share your feedback directly under each post. Your insights will help us refine the final version of the course and ensure it responds to the real needs of educators. 🔗 Visit the co-creation platform Join us in shaping this important resource — your contribution makes the difference! |
