AIMS:
- Development of relevant and high-quality skills and competences
- Open education and innovative practices in a digital era
- Social inclusion
Our objectives are:
- Usage of modern technology: Although mobile phones are omnipresent in daily life, they are hardly used at school: This project aims at integrating the major potential of mobile phones into school life.
- Development of relevant, essential skills in the ICT sector (usage of mobile phones):
- By using already existing applications and developing a new one, students are expected to employ and expand their knowledge in ICT.
- Promotion of gender equality and female students‘ interests for the ICT sector: Studies show that girls predominantly use their mobile phones to stay in touch with their friends. This project aims at opening new perspectives as far as the usage for other purposes is concerned and show them that they can be equally fun.
- Promotion of innovative teaching methods at school and their usage during lessons:

- Evaluation, comparison of the usage of mobile phones
- Photo stories: “Me and my smart phone”
