Teachers need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to empower their students to think critically, make informed choices online and stay safe whilst continuously building their resilience in the digital world. Teachers 4.0 Digital is a large-scale capacity-building action for the initial training and continuous professional development of teachers across Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact Bruna Giunta: bruna.giunta@cesie.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At EU SCHOOL 2026, Gianna Cappello presents \u2018Teachers 4.0 Digital\u2019 in a talk focusing on digital disinformation, media literacy and the role of critical thinking in promoting a more informed and inclusive school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":171304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[45697],"unita":[45510],"mec_category":[],"class_list":["post-171302","mec-events","type-mec-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-teachers4digitalage","unita-adult"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\tHow to take part<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
