TIES - digital TechnologIes for dIstance Educational pathS in 0-6 facilities

How distance learning can improve the relationships between children of the same class or of different groups, which for organizational reasons cannot meet? How to create meaningful and quality educational bonds between educators with children from remote? How to create educational alliances and mutual support between educators and parents? What training is necessary for the people involved to be competent and aware users?
We want to propose a project that brings these reflections to a European level, to jointly develop a proposal for distance education that combines the different needs of children of the age group 0-6 and the adults of reference. Through a network of collaboration between different institutions, universities, schools, training institutions, digital technology providers, the project would start a shared processing of analysis, to identify learning needs, effective methodologies, approaches, practices, strategies, that can support the development of digital skills within the early childhood education facilities and quality education paths for the distance learning. This project wants to find solutions that can go beyond the fight of educational poverty in times of emergency, becoming a stable educational curriculum, able to promote a new digital citizenship from the early age.
