Empower EU project

EMPOWER is a HorizonEurope project that will empower children and teachers to be actively involved in shaping and codesigning technology-assisted education. We will also involve them in the design and evaluation of the new technological products and tools to be integrated in educational settings. Specifically, EMPOWER will focus on education for children with NDDs, who can experience difficulties with language and speech, motor skills, behavior, memory, learning, or other neurological functions. The Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027) – a policy initiative to support sustainable and effective adaptation of the education and training of EU Member states to the digital age– identifies an urgent need to develop high-quality learning content, user-friendly tools, and secure platforms which respect e-privacy rules and ethical standards in the educational system.
