About the PRAISE Project

Discover our motivation, our target audience, and the long-term impact we aim to establish across European education system.

The Context

The crucial need to update teacher training models

The rapid evolution of technologies continues to reshape standard learning environments, yet formal teacher training frameworks often lack structured, contemporary preparation in programming, physical robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

A strategic Eurydice report revealed that only half of European teacher education curricula currently address basic digital pedagogy, with even fewer effectively incorporating advanced AI or robotics tools. This limitation directly restricts student exposure to essential computational thinking and robust digital literacy skills.

“The PRAISE project addresses this immediate educational challenge by developing an innovative, structured, and easily replicable training curriculum specifically tailored to prepare modern educators.”

Target Audience

Who are we addressing?

The PRAISE project systematically targets specific core groups to optimize structural skill transfers and maintain programmatic relevance.

Future Teachers

University students preparing for careers in education. We equip them with modern technical skills before graduation.

Educational Institutions

Universities and training academies looking to update and standardize their overall digital pedagogy curricula.

In-service Educators

Active classroom teachers looking for professional development pathways to integrate new tech methods safely.

Policymakers

National ministries and EU authorities requiring data-backed strategies to normalize localized digital literacy programs.

Our Scope

A multi-tiered strategic impact

Local & Regional

  • Direct empowerment of regional centers using accessible open resources.
  • Targeted localized piloting of physical robotics setups.

National

  • Delivering refined curriculum briefs to support national education plans.
  • Constructive policy feedback loop using data from active field research.

European

  • Active alignment with overarching EU digital literacy strategies.
  • Broad scale ecosystem expansion on platforms like EPALE and Erasmus+ databases.
