ABOUT THE PROJECT

The DigiUp project is the result of cooperation between partner organizations from three countries, namely Slovenia, Croatia and Northern Macedonia. The project idea was born during the first wave of the Covid 19 pandemic, when elementary schools had to prepare for emergencies that required shifting teaching to the digital environment of online classrooms, for which elementary schools were not prepared. This proved particularly difficult for students from the Roma community who did not find themselves in the digital environment of online classrooms because they did not have the knowledge to access them, resulting in all of them being inactive for the duration of the distance learning. All of this negatively impacted their success at the end of the school year.
