Digital Learning Across Boundaries 2 (DLAB2)

The Digital Learning Across Boundaries 2 (DLAB2) project addresses the need to align European educational practice with ways in which digital technology is changing how and what we learn, and how we apply this in education. It builds on DLAB1, an Erasmus + project that ran from 2016-2019, by focusing on ways in which the outside world can break down personal learning boundaries and build self-efficacy. DLAB2 is inspired by the changemaker movement, which seeks to build the skills and attributes for individuals to find innovative solutions to society’s challenges. Two key themes are developing changemakers and social innovation education. A third theme is the use of innovative digital learning environments including virtual and artificial reality technologies to blend physical and digital learning environments and provide powerful opportunities for international collaboration. In this way, the project brings together two aspects of the maker movement: digital making and change making.
