The third edition of the Digital Licence for Teachers is underway
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale has planned the third edition of the Digital Citizenship Licence, a training course dedicated to primary and secondary school teachers. The programme aims to strengthen teachers' skills in designing and supporting digital citizenship courses for students, which can be fully integrated into the compulsory civic education hours required by Law 92/2019.
The initiative is inspired by the Guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Merit and the Agcom Policy Document (Resolution No. 177/24/CONS), and offers a modular system that integrates the European DigComp and DigCompEdu frameworks.
Course structure
The Digital Licence is divided into 10 online training modules, each lasting one hour. At the end of each module, teachers have access to various resources to effectively integrate the content into their teaching curriculum.
Micro certificates are provided for each module and a final certificate is awarded at the end of the course.
The third edition is promoted by Corecom Piemonte and sponsored by Agcom. The course is also sponsored by Agcom-Corecom Liguria. Teachers in Liguria and Piedmont will therefore receive a personalised final certificate with the logo of the Corecom of reference.
The training channel on the FMD Academy platform remains the same for everyone.
