e-Reflect addresses the need for continuing in service education in active citizenship
The e-Reflect project is an Erasmus+ KA200 project, which embraces the European Commission's invitation towards Member States to push forward educational reforms in adult learning that “boost skills supply through offering tailored learning opportunities to individual learners” (European Commission, Education and Training in Europe 2020, Eurydice Report, 2013, p. 57). Through the agency of schools, Higher Education institutions and NGO's of Europe e-Reflect project seeks to develop and implement a high quality continuing professional development e-course on active citizenship education for teachers and young children education professionals.

Innovative Aspect
The e-Reflect course fuses digital literacy in stimulating active citizenship and social entrepreneurship. Particularly, it takes advantage of contemporary digital technology (course authoring and web2.0 tools, LMS) to cultivate democratic spaces for communication, collaboration and action, and encourage discussion so that people can develop their own learning materials, basing their analysis on the systematization of their own knowledge.
