Knowledge Hub on the Horizontal Digital Priority in the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes

The ongoing digital transformation continuously impacts our societies and economies. It creates new ways to learn, train, work and actively participate in society, entertain, and communicate. Digital skills and competences are the cornerstone of social inclusion, active citizenship, employability, productivity, security, and growth.

Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps projects can play an important role in developing individual and institutional digital readiness, capacity and skills, thus offering everyone an equal opportunity to thrive in life, find employment, and be engaged citizens. 

The programmes contribute to more inclusive and cohesive, greener, and digitally fit societies. Europe’s innovation capacity, developing digital skills and competences and skills in forward-looking fields, such as combating climate change, clean energy, artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data analysis, is essential for Europe's future sustainable growth and cohesion.

Digital transformation is especially important for education and training, youth work and sport, as a systemic process of change where technology is used to enable new processes and methods, with the goal to increase quality and inclusiveness of education, training and youth work. Purposeful use of digital, AI and other emerging technologies can provide new learning and communication possibilities, enhance information access, and allow for modern pedagogical approaches to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, in both formal and non-formal settings.

The following collection of guidelines, materials, and other resources provides essential information about the Horizontal Digital Priority for the National Agencies, beneficiaries, potential applicants, and other stakeholders.
