Cilj projekta

    The DELTA project aims to promote a culture of knowledge exchange and foster innovation in multidisciplinary education and learning across the Western Balkans. This initiative is dedicated to empowering individuals with comprehensive data literacy skills, which are crucial for proper positioning in the EU labor market and contributing to the economy.
      Specifically, the DELTA project seeks to:
      • Provide students from various faculties across Western Balkans universities with the opportunity to achieve a high level of data literacy.
      • This initiative ensures that students are well-prepared to apply these critical skills in a wide range of personal and professional scenarios, enhancing their adaptability and competitiveness in the job market.
      • Bridge the existing gap in data literacy between the Western Balkans and the European Union.
      • By raising the standards of data literacy education in the region, the project aims to align the Western Balkans' competence framework with EU standards.
      The DELTA project aims to strengthen knowledge transfer from the EU to the Western Balkans by defining a data literacy profile within higher education, developing data literacy courses aligned with the ECTS-based qualification system, training educators from higher education institutions in the Western Balkans, and implementing a pilot project in participating universities. At the same time, project partners will develop a digital learning environment to integrate classroom-based courses into a reliable validation and certification system.
