Webinar on the European Digital Competence Framework and its Use for Global Teachers' GFTE

 
I am honoured and proud to have been invited to host a webinar on the European Digital Competence Framework and its use for global teachers at the Global Forum for Teacher Educators (GFTE).
 
 
 
GFTE is a global platform for Asian, European, and international educators, launched by Dr @Munir to support free knowledge and skills development. GFTE is not an institution; it is a virtual forum and a community of teachers who believe in sharing knowledge at no cost. GFTE is a free forum with members from more than 75 countries across Asia, Europe and beyond.
 
Time 18 October, 2026, 3PM CEST
The European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp) is an official EU reference tool that defines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes people need to use digital technologies in a confident, critical, and responsible way. DigComp 3.0, which has integrated AI, artificial intelligence, and organizes digital competence into 5 core areas containing a total of 21 specific competencies
  • Information and data literacy: Searching, filtering, evaluating, storing, and managing digital data and content.

      • Digital content creation: Developing and editing content, applying copyrights and licenses, and programming.
