Our Project
LED Education project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme that aims to transform digital education into a more inclusive, human-centered experience.
Supporting Learning Environments in Digital Education
LED Education is a 36-month Erasmus+ Policy Experimentation project developing, piloting and evaluating supportive learning environments for students engaged in digital education.
The project combines personalised tutoring, digital-literacy development, learner well-being, inclusive practices and a supportive physical learning environment. The pilot takes place in Riga, Latvia, where the model is tested, assessed and refined in practice.
