Q1. Have the Member States reviewed their legislation, policies and learning frameworks to ensure that they are aligned with the recommendations, principles and guidance?

The National Strategy for Digital Skills Italy 2022 aims to bridge the digital divide and enhance digital competencies nationwide. As part of the “Italy 2025 Strategy” and in alignment with the European Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, the strategy focuses on digital education, digital citizenship, and ethical, human-centred, non-discriminatory digital principles. It aims to improve digital skills in higher education, the active workforce, ICT specialist skills, and general citizens.
2015 National Digital School Plan (Piano Nazionale per la Scuola Digitale) introduced by 2015 Buona Scuola Law no. 107. The plan provided all primary school classes with an electronic register.
In 2015, the Declaration of internet rights was presented by the Parliament. It is a fundamental document to guarantee each individual the exercise of active digital citizenship in respect of the freedom, dignity and diversity of each person. The text identifies a series of general principles that embrace the various issues connected to the use of the Internet: the right to knowledge and education on the Net, the neutrality of the Net, and the right to identity. Starting from the recognition of the right to access the internet, the Declaration is founded on the full recognition of freedom, equality, dignity and diversity of every person. The guarantee of these rights is a necessary condition to ensure the democratic functioning of the institutions.
2020 Repubblica Digitale a strategic initiative that “aims to reduce the digital divide and promote education on future technologies”, is expanding rapidly and intends to constitute an organic and comprehensive response to the issue of digital skills”. The 2020 National Strategy for Digital Skills and its 2020 Operational Plan were developed as part of the Repubblica Digitale initiative to represent an organic and complete response to the issue of digital skills. The former (2020 National Strategy for Digital Skills) states that “computer culture and digital skills” as an “essential requirement for full citizenship”. Therefore, it states that both the public and private sectors should invest in developing digital skills, as they are crucial for economic growth, international competitiveness, the creation of public value, and national prosperity. Additionally, schools, universities, and the media should help combat all forms of digital illiteracy. The 2020 Operational Plan states that the 2020 National Coalition for Digital Skills is an important resource for achieving the objectives of the digital skills strategy. The National is made up of a variety of entities, including public entities, third-sector organizations, individuals, and territorial networks, which are working together to achieve the goals of the digital skills strategy. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the National Coalition can leverage its members’ resources and expertise to implement innovative projects aimed at promoting digital skills.
To promote strategies aimed at making the Internet a safer place for younger users, encouraging positive and aware use of it, the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) has launched the “Connected Generations” initiative, supported by the European Commission, to provide schools with a set of didactic tools, of immediate use, including: training activities (online and face-to-face) aimed specifically at school communities (teachers, children, teenagers, parents, educators) who will undertake a dedicated course; information and awareness-raising activities carried out in collaboration with the State Police to explore the issues of safe navigation on the Net. Schools wishing to participate in the initiative can log on to www.generazioniconnesse.it and follow the instructions provided to register for the project. Through a guided process and specific work materials, the schools registered in Connected Generations undertake a path to bring out the strengths and weaknesses of the institution itself, on issues related to the Project, by filling in a self-assessment questionnaire available on the website www.generazioniconnesse.it. The questionnaire is a tool which allows the institute to identify its needs, areas for improvement and the actions to be undertaken to arrive at the development of a personalized project called “Plan of Action”. This Plan will allow educational institutions to focus their Three-Year Plan of the Educational Offer to define: own approach to issues related to digital skills, online safety and the positive use of digital technologies in teaching; the rules of conduct and procedures for the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the school environment; measures for prevention; and measures for the identification and management of problems connected to an unconscious use of digital technologies.
European Digital Competence Framework: Italy adheres to the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp) and the 2017 DigCompEdu.
The Italian organisation Telefono Azzurro has launched a comprehensive Digital Citizenship Programme aimed at educating children and teachers about safe internet usage, addressing issues like cyberbullying, digital footprints, and online safety.
The school digitalisation process initiated with the PNSD (2014-2017) and followed by the React EU program is currently undergoing a complete digital transformation with the National Revovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). This plan encompasses 6 reforms and 11 areas of investment, consolidating numerous initiatives and reforms, laying the foundation to design and implement new educational models that can ensure inclusive, personalised and democratic learning. At the core of the transformation is the School 4.0 plan, which aims at completing the modernisation of all Italian school environments by equipping them with technologies useful for digital teaching. Its primary focus is to transform schools into learning environment, where space, technology, furnishings, students, and teachers all contribute to the learning and teaching process. The program comprises two main measures: “Next Generation Classrooms,” where over 100,000 classrooms will be transformed into innovative learning ecosystems and “Next Generation Labs” for the digital professions of the future. The innovative learning environments of Scuola 4.0 are aligned with a pedagogical vision that centers teaching activities and students, supporting Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and aimed at creating and enhancing educational facilities that are sensitive to the needs of children, inclusive of disabilities, responsive to gender, and that provide safe, non-violent, inclusive, and effective learning environments for all. In line with the relevant studies on digital education conducted by UNESCO, the Council of Europe, and the 7 Principles of Learning by the OECD, the main elements at the core of the new learning environments are: – design of learning environments which will prioritise mobility and flexibility of spaces, allowing classrooms to be organised according to the specific teaching activities. This includes the use of flexible furnishings that can be easily rearranged to support different learning modes, from individual work to group collaboration. Learning environments will adapt to the specific learning objectives, the school curriculum, and the age of the students, forming a dynamic learning in which the curriculum encourages personalised learning pathways, while innovative technologies can enhance students’ engagement and cooperation. – new innovative pedagogies, new methodologies which can use and leverage the digital solutions available. Reinforcing their pedagogical leadership the teachers adopt a plurality of innovative pedagogies (for example, blended learning, computational thinking, experiential learning, teaching of multiliteracies and debate, gamification, etc.) transforming the classroom into an ecosystem of interaction, sharing, cooperation, capable of integrating the proactive use of technologies for the improvement of teaching effectiveness and learning outcomes. – formation and training for teachers and school staff to accompany them in the digital transition and to make the best use of the new learning environments. To support the digital transition a key pillar is the teacher digital education and training, which is implemented thanks to a dedicated platform for teachers and school staff “Scuola Futura” which offers multiple training paths for digital education and innovative teaching methodologies, comprising more than 44,000 courses- All courses and learning paths follow the Common European Framework -DigicompEdu. Also to support teachers and school leaders in the digital transition, within the functional organisation of each school, a Digital expert representative, along with a team of expert teachers, acts as a digital animator to provide assistance, peer-to-peer support, training, also working in collaboration with the Cyberbullying Representative—appointed under Law 71 of 2017—to promote the responsible and mindful use of technology across the school environment.
Following Law No. 92 of August 20, 2019, which established the teaching of Civic Education at all school levels in a cross-curricular approach, in September 2024 the Ministry of Education and Merit issued updated ‘Guidelines for the Teaching of Civic Education.’ These guidelines focus on the Constitution, Sustainable Development, and Digital Citizenship, with reference to both national and international frameworks. They support and assist teachers in addressing some of the educational and social emergencies of our time, such as the increase in acts of bullying, cyberbullying, and violence against women, digital addiction, and the dramatic rise in road accidents, combating drug use, promoting food education, health and well-being, and encouraging sports.

Q2. Have the Member States promoted the implementation of the Recommendation in formal, non-formal and informal education settings?

The National Strategy for Digital Skills Italy 2022.

1. The pane e internet project funded by the Emilia-Romagna Region promotes the concept of the “digital citizen,” encouraging the use of technology for accessing information and online services.

1.2 The “DigiPass” project in the Umbria region aims to enhance digital services for citizens and businesses by providing a unified platform for accessing public services and information. The project likely includes features such as online applications for permits, digital signatures, and possibly digital identity services to streamline interactions with regional authorities.

2. The implementation of the Digital Strategy for the DCE is facilitated through various training hubs and tools, ensuring a structured and effective approach to digital transformation within the NRRP lines of investment. In parallel with the digital transformation of schools, policies have been implemented to train both teachers and students on the opportunities and risks of the digital world. These training programs aim not only to cover the technical aspects but also to promote pedagogies that place the students at the centre, with the goal of shaping them into informed and responsible citizens in the digital era. The focus is on fostering digital citizenship, ensuring that students are not just skilled in digital tools, but also educated to be thoughtful and responsible digital citizens.

Other initiatives and awareness activities:

a) Safer Internet Day celebration in Italy. In 2023 the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit celebrated Safer Internet Day. This event emphasized responsible internet use, addressing issues such as online safety, cybersecurity, and digital well-being.

b) Measuring Digital skills online. The “Mettiti alla Prova” section of Repubblica Digitale offers users an opportunity to test their digital skills through various assessments and learning modules.

c) Participation in eTwinning, as part of the Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027, engaging teachers in innovative teaching methodologies and project-based learning while promoting collaboration in a multicultural context with the objective to foster democratic values and active citizenship.

d) Milan Games Week. During this event The Education Department of the Council of Europe organised a panel session on 24 November 2023 at the Milan Games Week. The panel discussed gender equality in video games and addressed the role of digital citizenship education in this regard.

e) A tool to combat harmful behaviour online and at the same time increase awareness of the phenomenon is “iGloss@ 1.110, the ABC of deviant behaviour online”, elaborated by the Juvenile and Community Justice Department.

f) The creation of the multidimensional and strategic system of continuous training for teachers and school staff on the dedicated platform called “Scuola Futura” makes available to teachers and school staff multiple training paths delivered by several hubs. In particular, the digital transition hubs promote courses aimed at training in digital transition and at the dissemination of integrated digital teaching, while the digital teaching hubs carry out national projects for the development of innovative digital teaching models and curricula for digital education. A core element of this formation is to provide targeted training on digital citizenship awareness. This will equip teachers, students, and the broader school community with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage responsibly in the digital realm. These trainings deal with critical areas such as responsible internet use, digital citizenship, the environmental impact of the internet, online etiquette and social networks, digital identity, cyberbullying, critical thinking, fact-checking and source verification, the differentiation between the real and virtual, online advertising etc. Courses are based on the six levels of competences of the DigCompEdu and teachers can test their level of digital readiness through SELFIE for Teachers.

g) A strong boost to the teacher training and awareness raising of the DCE is given by the “Equipe formative territoriali- EFT” (territorial training teams). 21 teachers, each in a Regional school office and 3 at the Ministry of Education and Merit, coordinate 100 teachers in the territory in designing, implementing and testing innovative teaching methodologies in the classroom on the themes of digital citizenship, artificial intelligence, new technologies, developing communities of practice, peer-to-peer training, providing on-site support and assistance. Also, events, national campaigns and projects have been organised by EFT and the national hub to celebrate the Safer Internet Day and promote awareness of digital citizenship. Below some of the initiatives:

g1) PoesieSID and STEM SID (Febraury 2021). During a live streaming event, the hashtags #PoesieSID and #StemSID were launched, initiating two parallel educational paths, one focused on poetry and the other on STEM disciplines. The MuseSocial and ScienziatiSocial, accounts animated by local training teams, engaged in conversations with students on social media, creating a unique digital storytelling experience spreading awareness on the digital citizenship. The experience was documented in the publication titled: “The Story of Safer Internet STORIES. Creatively experimenting with the educational use of social media: #PoesieSID and #StemSID

g2) Educational cards (February 2022). Equipe Formative Territoriali (EFT) designed a special kit of 8 educational cards inspired by the themes suggested for the SID for the year which contributed to a digital storytelling focusing on 1) being kind and respectful to others online (and offline too!); protecting your online reputation (and that of others); seeking positive opportunities on the internet to create, engage, and share.

h) the overall strategy to spread awareness in the digital realm includes the promotion of the “STEM Guidelines” issued by the Ministry of education and merit. The guidelines provide not only methodological and educational support and directions to teach scientific subjects, as computer science, coding from nursery school to upper secondary school, but they also promote a responsible use of technology and gender equality also encouraging enrolments in tertiary STEM curricula for women. These guidelines include, among other things, the development of laboratory-based training courses and STEM orientation activities, the creation of school networks and educational alliances to promote the study of STEM disciplines and digital skills, the development of innovative teaching and the sharing of best practices. Furthermore, they include information and awareness-raising actions aimed at families, particularly on the occasion of the celebration of the “International Day of Women and Girls in Science” in schools, to encourage the participation of female students in STEM study paths, overcoming gender stereotypes. The STEM week, a national initiative launched by the Ministry of Education and Merit within the “Scuola Futura” program, also aims to encourage girls and female students to approach the world of science and technology through laboratories and simulations of activities that see them as protagonists of paths in which they can excel in scientific disciplines, helping to create gender equality in the scientific sector.
