Digital Transformation and Erasmus Competition
How is your school facing the Digital transformation?
During the festival, teachers from across Europe can showcase how they improved their digital competencies, knowledge, and skills thanks to their Erasmus projects and mobility activities.
The videos should show before and after using digital tools, and why and how they use digital tools, not for the sake of digital tools but for the sake of transforming their teaching and their students’ learning.
The stress is on the quality of use, not the quantity; the stress is on the why to use digital tools and not only how.
Each school may submit one video (maximum 5 minutes) demonstrating how they have experienced digital transformation in practice.
Every school can make only one submission.
- 1st Prize: 800 Euros
- 2nd Prize: 400 Euros
- 3rd Prize: 200 Euros
Submission deadlines: 30th September 2026
Videos should be submitted to: split@europassnetwork.eu
Subject: Digital Transformation in Classroom Practice
The video will be judged based on the following criteria:
- Relevance and clear content on digital transformation
- Innovative and creative use of digital tools
- Pedagogical impact – evidence of improved learning, engagement, or inclusion
- Practical application easily replicable by others
- Video length and video quality
Who is this for?
The Digital Transformation Festival is designed for teachers, project coordinators, school leaders, and educators who want to connect and collaborate with colleagues across Europe on new Erasmus+ mobility projects, explore innovative technologies, and transform learning experiences to better prepare their students and schools for the future.
