All partners finished the development of the six Mentor 2.0 elearning modules, which are the following:
- Strengthening self- motivation
- Discovering and managing talents
- Team building and leadership at school and in the classroom
- Digital tools in school enhancing inclusive education
- Cooperation between school and the external environment, particularly employers
- School’s role in circular economy, practical environmental education.
In a next phase, we will validate the modules with 25 teachers from each country as well as two experts from each organization.

What will the New Education Forum in Caserta be about?
The Commission’s Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027) stresses the need to ensure that all teachers and trainers have the confidence and competencies to use technology effectively and creatively to engage and motivate their learners as well as to ensure that all learners develop their digital competences for learning, living and working in an ever more digitalised world.
Digital solutions in formal education may also be the right response to another challenge revealed by the 2019 Education and Training Monitor that a number of European countries face serious shortages of teachers, either across the board or in some subjects such as science, or in specific profiles such as teaching pupils with special needs.
- Will the educators become “facilitators and mentors to their students who pave the way for the individual’s learning journey”, hence supporting also the mental well-being of their students?
- Will they be able to identify themselves as the barriers to their self-motivation and professional growth?
- Will the teachers of today be able to acquire the digital skills of tomorrow to make use of digital content in their teaching practice, and create new digital educational content individually and/or in collaboration with other professionals within secure environments?
We hope the New Education Forum in Caserta will provide answers to these important questions.
We invite you to be part of it to find out!
