EU Guidelines on Digital Education Content

A dedicated webinar on dissemination and supporting communication materials will follow in April. The EEA contributed to the development of the guidelines through Beth Havinga (EEA), Pierre Laborde (AFINEF) and Albena Spasova (EdTech Bulgaria) as members of the expert group.
