Description
Erasmus+ encourages non-teaching staff from schools, VET providers, and organizations working in adult education to travel. Yet, most courses focus on the needs of teachers and educators leaving aside those of administrators and managers!
Shouldn’t they be offered the same occasion for traveling, too?
The course focuses on the needs of administrators and managers from organizations in the Erasmus+ program of updating their digital skills and understanding of information and communication technologies (ICT).
Participants will have the time to discover and – most importantly! – practice many apps and programs that are useful for the everyday work of school and organization staff not involved in didactics.
The course will thus offer a useful occasion for digital training to participants working in administration within educational organizations.
By the end of the course, participants will expand their competencies in using a variety of apps and programs to support their daily work and feel more confident in dealing with technology in their life.

- Manage projects and online collaboration;
