DiCE.Lang

The project’s overall aim is to strengthen the profile of Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) vis-à-vis Foreign Language Education. Digital Citizenship Education has emerged as a supranational priority and has proved to play a crucial role in education: in fact, the Council of Europe has produced a set of documents and tools that analyze “good practice in digital citizenship education as well as the gaps and challenges in formal and informal learning contexts” (Richardson and Milovidov 2019, p. 9). In order to facilitate the implementation of DCE in schools and in curricula across Europe, subject-specific adaptations are required which, at moment, are still lacking despite being explicitly called for in available DCE publications published by the Council of Europe. This implementation would include a thorough adaptation of DCE principles and objectives into foreign language education (FLE). The DiCE.Lang project has envisaged four intellectual outputs: a survey, a set of open educational resources, a teacher training package, and a policy framework.
