Digital citizenship and artificial intelligence
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale promotes a training course dedicated to secondary school teachers for the issuance of the Digital Licence (digital citizenship and artificial intelligence).
To accompany digital innovation in schools, we focus on the key role of the teacher , whom we place at the centre of education and who becomes a true expert in pedagogical, digital and organisational skills.
The programme aims to provide teachers with the skills to design digital citizenship courses for students that can be 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 policy document of AGCOM (resolution no. 177/24/CONS) and offers a modular programme that integrates the European DigComp and DigCompEdu frameworks. Micro-certificates are provided for each module and a final certification.
The licence covers the topics of digital citizenship with a specific focus on Artificial Intelligence (as per the MIM guidelines), integrated across the modules of the entire course.
At the end of each module, the teacher has access to teaching sheets, useful resources and in-depth information to be used in the classroom to effectively integrate the course into the curriculum.
