The Community aims to engage teachers, trainers, researchers and other interested stakeholders in sharing ideas and experiences, promote the development of educators' digital competence and act as an expert network advising on the further development, adaptation and use of the framework and its associated tools and resources. You can join the DigCompEdu Community through the EU login and by requesting a group membership: • Form part of the European Commission expert network on DigCompEdu • Connect with people who are also using DigCompEdu • Learn how others use DigCompEdu and benefit from their experiences • Make your DigCompEdu project known to others • Share your DigCompEdu materials DigCompEdu can be directly adapted to implementing regional and national tools and training programs. In several EU Member States, the DigCompEdu framework has been applied as an explicit reference for national guidelines, particularly in guiding school education, or has been integrated in training courses and guidelines for teachers. In many instances, the framework report has been translated by national or local actors into different target languages to facilitate the take-up by national and regional actors (https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/digcompedu/supporting-materials) . Other countries, such as Portugal and Croatia, are planning on including the framework in future guidelines. In Germany, for example, the Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK) refined it for their framework of students' digital competence. In the region of Saarland in Germany the DigCompEdu has been integrated in training courses (http://tiny.cc/medienkurs ). The German Adult Education Association (Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband e.V.) and the Goethe Institut are interested in using the framework for the training of their lecturers. In Spain, for example, digital competence for teachers have been implemented first nationally in 2015 by the National Institute of Educational Technologies and Teacher Training (INTEF), which is the unit of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. After the Joint Research Centre developed the DigCompEdu Framework in 2017, INTEF re-written and adjusted its framework to the European one. Moreover, the CRUE network of higher education institutions is planning to use the DigCompEdu as part of CPD activities for their academic staff Ireland, for instance, has some considerable integration of digital competence development at both national and institutional levels. At the primary and secondary levels, the Irish Digital Strategy for Schools is underpinned primarily by the 2011 UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers. However, subsequent Digital Learning Frameworks make explicit reference to both the EU’s DigCompEdu and DigCompOrg frameworks.
