- Offering a global approach to teachers and schools to get everything needed: computer, Internet connection, Internet tools and online resources as training, coaching and support;
- Starting with local implementation in Belgium, being a multicultural and multilingual country, and rollout globally with partners over the world.
We strongly support this grant application and the focus on online education and reducing digital fracture.
