The EURIDICE Consortium has announced the launch of the Joint European Master's Degree in Digital Society, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship (DIGISOC), an interdisciplinary programme designed to prepare professionals to lead digital transformation processes with social responsibility.

This master's programme, with 120 ECTS, is the result of collaboration between three European universities: University of Naples Federico II (Italy); University of Innsbruck (Austria) and Palacký University Olomouc (Czech Republic).

The curriculum combines advanced digital skills with expertise in social innovation, focusing on three critical sectors: Education, Communication and Culture. Students will learn to develop digital solutions that are technologically sound, ethically grounded and socially impactful.

Classes will be taught in English, adopting a hybrid format that integrates international mobility and summer schools, promoting a diverse and global educational experience. Graduates will be able to take on leadership roles in public institutions, private companies and third sector organizations, contributing to the promotion of equality, sustainability and global citizenship in an increasingly digitalized society.

On February 20, 2025, at 6:00 PM, the book Gingar na Cidade. Bicicleta, participação e transformação do território will be launched at the Marvila Library.

The book presents the Gingada project and explores the interactions between territory, participation, and mobility, with a special focus on bicycle use in Marvila, parish of Lisbon. Featuring contributions from various authors, the work provides a comprehensive perspective on sustainable mobility and community development in transforming urban contexts.

The event, hosted by Henrique Chaves and Inês Vieira, partners in the implementation of the Gingada project, will last two hours and will be open to all interested individuals. Admission is free, with no prior registration required.

This event represents a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of mobility dynamics and civic participation in Marvila, fostering a debate on innovative strategies for building more inclusive and sustainable cities.

The Gingada project was funded through the BIP/ZIP program (2020), promoted by Rés do Chão and Grupo Recreativo Janz e Associados, in partnership with the Centro de Promoção Social da Prodac – SCML, Grupo Comunitário 4 Crescente, the Marvila Parish Council, CICS.NOVA, FCSH, and CeiED at Universidade Lusófona.

António Teodoro and Elsa Estrela are the invited researchers for the 2nd topic of the Itinerant Conference: Teaching Career Statute (An Assertive Architecture of the Educational System). This 2nd Conference will analyze and debate the Teaching Career Statute, questioning whether the current document (DL 41/2012) ensures the establishment of an environment of stability and trust in schools, the reduction of bureaucracy in work methods, and the evaluation of practices and administrative processes applied to the management of education as outlined in its preamble.

The event will take place on February 18, 2025, at 6:00 PM at Universidade Lusófona (or online) in the José Araújo Auditorium.

Thematic Program

• The repeated amendments to the Teaching Career Statute (TCS), the problems, difficulties in interpretation, and even misreadings that have resulted from them.
• Questioning the strong emphasis on performance evaluation as an opportunity to serve the professional development of teachers, the improvement of teaching quality, student outcomes, and the public education service.

The conference is certified (SHORT DURATION COURSE - Ordinance 5741/2015) and costs €5 for SPCE members and €10 for non-members.

Registration is mandatory here.

In these five conferences, under the overarching theme “An Assertive Architecture of the Educational System,” each participating institution gathers specialists to reflect and debate, with their peers, on options that can impact the improvement of the quality of the education and training system. SPCE aims to create synergies between higher education and non-higher education institutions to foster new forms of communication with members, society, and the scientific community, utilizing new methods of dissemination and information sharing.

These events are designed to foster moments of intense reflection and formative research in crucial areas for the development of education and the educational system.

New challenges arise, bringing new actors, concepts and requiring new skill sets.
