Cultivating creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking for young students.

Context and objectives of the project

the challenge​

Primary education is the first step on an educational journey towards the acquisition of knowledge and skills that can guarantee a sustainable future for today’s students. Today’s jobs require at least some level of digital skills, while today’s primary school students will more likely end up working in new job types that do not yet exist. However, digital competences are not explicitly addressed for primary education. There is a need for people not only to be equipped with digital skills, but to raise children who can think out of the box, innovate, turn ideas into action and be able to adapt easily to changes. Consequently, it is vital to start cultivating a sense of initiative and entrepreneurial mindset, from a young age, as children are born imaginative, energetic, and willing to take risks.
