The project developped a database providing at more than 500 lemmas in International Sign related to the lexical domain of digital and ICT.

International Sign is the so-called lingua franca choosen by the Deaf community in order to communicate in international meetings and conferences, or simply when two deaf people coming from different countries meet.

As a result of the project, Deaf individuals will have the opportunity to expand their skills and knowledge at an era where digital competences have become an essential requirement in today’s job market.  

The material will be delivered online through an open website which will be divided into six different subdomains around the fields of:

1. Computer science
2. Cloud networking
3. Internet of Things (IoT)
4. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
5. Robotics
6. Audiovisual and media production

The project is coordinated by the Turin Institute for the Deaf based in Italy, and is supported by a great partnership: Equalizent (Austria), Funteso (Spain), APEA (Portugal), Budakov films (Bulgaria), Emphasys (Cyprus) and Dlearn (Italy).

The videos of the glossary are recorded and edited by Deaf people from the Institute and Equalizent, whereas the other "hearing" partners are in charge of the control of the full accessibility of all the project and the products, as well as the support of the research of the contents.

The project is almost at the end of its path: the main contents have been producted, in this last three months the aim is to improve Guidelines for employers that want to hire d/Deaf people in the digital market.

Last meeting of the project is on the 24th February 2023 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The benefits of the use of digital technology for operations are enormous but also come with new and increased risks. There is a real threat to companies production security, safety and capacity, as well as data privacy, when companies connect to operational technology networks. InCyS 4.0 project (https://incybersecurity.eu/)  offers free access materials to improve competences in cyber security for operational technicians in industrial companies.

We welcome you to join us for the CHOICE Final Event that will take place on the 19^th October 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal. This event will take place one day before the ICT 2015 event (Click here to know more details about this event), involving the high participation of the European Commission's policies and initiatives with regard to R&I in ICT.

A key output of the first TACCLE project (www.taccle.eu) was a handbook for teachers wanting to introduce e-learning into their practice. There was also a series of training events for teachers based on the handbook. Both the handbook and the courses were rated highly by teachers but feedback from readers and from course participants was that there were still ‘gaps’ that needed to be filled.

The strategic partnership will promote actions, at a national and international scale with the purpose of building contents, digital instruments and analyzing the impact of ICT in a global world. It will pay special attention to learners that have never used the Internet and with disadvantaged backgrounds. It aims to help people facing the process of civilizational change (social, political, economic, and cultural) and, consequently, to shape the needs of future generations.

Be it because they lack the knowledge or because they lack motivation or opportunity, older people are traditionally excluded from Information & Communication Technologies (ICT). So a partnership was created to encourage senior citizens motivation and knowledge about ICT, thus helping to overcome the exclusion of elder people in the field. The project made use of non formal education and innovative methods, to address older people’s learning needs.

A major characteristic of European societies might be seen in the rapidly growing differentiation of educational pathways, opportunities and biographies. This increase in complexity from learners requires great effort into initiative taking, creativity, problem solving, risk assessment and decision taking. Through the past years various structures have been developed in order to support students in mastering educational transition. However they have been often formulated in an institutional perspective, counting out learners' experience and creativity skills as well as new opportunities of technology enhanced learning.
