Welcome

Thank you for joining the InventEUrs GlobalChangemakers course. In this course, we explore what it means to be both a teacher and a student in the digital age, and how educators can design creative learning experiences based on connecting students from different schools and promote the co-creation of digital projects related to the Sustainable Development Goals. As this is an open course, those of you choosing to take it might come from a wide variety of backgrounds. However in designing the materials we have made an assumption that course participants will already have an understanding of educational delivery, and the theories that underpin learning and teaching within a school context. The entire course lasts six weeks.
