Spotlight: DigiEduHack 2023 Main Stage Event

This year has seen DigiEduHack return with a scaled-up and expanded edition. After months of preparation, DigiEduHack Days started on Monday, the 6th of November, and lasted for a full week. In this timeframe, 39 hackathons were organised in Europe and beyond.

The 13th of November marked not one, but two DigiEduHack milestones. On the one hand, it was the final day of hacking; on the other hand, it was the chosen date for the DigiEduHack Main Stage Event. In case you’re new to the DigiEduHack universe or if you missed it, here is a recap of what this event is all about:

• What: DigiEduHack Main Stage Event is the culmination of the hacking days. It blends the most practical part of the initiative with a high-political conference dedicated to the future of digital education.

• When: This year’s Main Stage Event took place in the afternoon of the 13th of November.

• Where: The chosen location was Madrid – Círculo de las Bellas Artes – as Spain holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

• Who: Representatives of the European Commission and the Spanish Presidency of the aforementioned Council of the EU, as well as other stakeholders from the field of digital education.

The conference was divided into two panels:

I. Putting people at the centre of digital education

II. User-driven Innovation in Education

In addition to the conversation generated by the intervention of the previously mentioned digital education experts, the DigiEduHack Main Stage Event included testimonials from participants and hosts from around the globe. You can re-watch the main event here!
