Information and communication technology (ICT) is now a mature part of the curriculum. Once restricted to schools as "computer studies", ICT is now integrated into other subjects as well. Field that is becoming more and more relevant in all areas of life, mostly in education and specifically at schools. This project main aim is to develop students overall knowledge about information and communication technology and to support the acquisition of modern IT skills through different activities during project and follow-up activities after official project time period.

It is becoming even clearer that digital transformation trends are relevant to each school in our countries and we need to respond to these changes. That is one of the reasons we would like to start changing our schools more modern regarding ICT field and our pupils awareness of digital world possibilities and threats.

On our activity plan we are mostly focusing on two main subjects: digihygine and digimedia.

Digihygiene subject main aim in our project is to provide students with the necessary tools for their basic daily work, competencies in digital security and knowledge to communicate and collaborate online.

Digimedia subject main aim in our project is to teach different types of digital media (photo, computer, video,3D drawing), its storage, processing and copyrights following web sharing.

With this project we have the possibility to integrate different subjects, for example english, computer sciences, mathematics and sciences. English will be the main language of communication.

During these mobilities we hope to reach our goals and to develop good international relationships for future.
