A Look to the Future – From Misinformation to Digital Literacy
From 13 to 18 October 2025, Europe will celebrate the ninth edition of #ErasmusDays, an initiative that highlights the importance of academic mobility and European education. This international event will bring together students, educators, professionals, and citizens to showcase the advantages of the Erasmus+ programme and share success stories. As part of this celebration of diversity, learning and international cooperation, Mentortec is organising a special event on 14 October at the Higher School of Education of Coimbra (ESEC).
The event will be held at the Higher School of Education of Coimbra (ESEC), an institution that has distinguished itself through its commitment to providing high-quality training tailored to the needs of modern society and geared towards successful professional performance. The presence of the ESEC International Relations Office is extremely important as it reinforces the school’s commitment to internationalisation and creates new opportunities for collaboration for its students and the wider educational community.
The agenda includes speeches by the ESEC Presidency and the International Relations Office coordination team. Topics that are crucial for the future of education will also be covered, including:
- Tools for digital teaching and learning with Márcia Gouveia from INOVA+ and the Digital Literate project;
- Digital citizenship: from thought to action, featuring Marta Reis and Maria Rodrigues from Mentortec and the Think Twice project.
The meeting will focus on the importance of media and digital literacy, with an emphasis on training educators and students to deal with misinformation, which is becoming increasingly prevalent in the digital world. The event will also showcase innovative tools and resources for teachers, schools and other educational institutions.
The collaboration between the Think Twice and Digital Literate projects and Mentortec and INOVA+ will not only raise awareness and disseminate information, but also highlight the importance of European initiatives involving different countries and cultures. The joint effort to combat disinformation and promote digital citizenship reflects the commitment of the two entities to creating a positive impact on educational communities.
