Smart schooling – Corona as a chance to bridge the digital divide

In the frame of the Connective Cities virtual week, virtual events on Economic Response, Housing & Education will take place on Wednesday, November 25th. We cordially invite you to participate in our session on Smart schooling – Corona as a chance to bridge the digital divide.

This session offers cities and municipalities the opportunity to exchange their experiences and successful strategies about digital learning tools which have become even more crucial through the COVID-19 pandemic. Many schools and cities around the world had started to invest in digital learning tools long before the pandemic hit the globe. Now, these tools are not a nice-to-have anymore, they are crucial to enable children and youth to access education safely. Virtual classrooms, interactive learning tools, online access to reading materials –all these have become essential in keeping “school” going. Countries, cities, and schools must bridge their current gaps regarding this new way of teaching and learning–and make sure that everybody is guaranteed to be able to access these digital learning tools.

This session will focus on examples and best practices from Germany, Haiti and UK which will be presented by experts and urban practioners from the education sector.

We are looking forward to your participation!
