Newsletter

Our 3rd Newsletter

The DECART project, funded by the European Commission’s ERASMUS+ program, is a collaboration between universities from France, Iceland, Indonesia, Lithuania, and South Africa. Its primary aim is to integrate digital education in areas such as art and cartography, enhancing educational tools and strategies for students and educators. Recently, the project held a workshop that brought together educators from various countries to share insights on incorporating digital technologies into the curriculum, fostering an interdisciplinary approach with a focus on sustainability, creativity, and global collaboration. Through this initiative, DECART seeks to modernize education and promote digital literacy on an international scale.
