LETITBE

LETITBE:  Learning through Innovative Technologies Boosting Equality

 LETITBE is a pioneering program in Europe that promotes the use of technology to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and is co-funded by the Erasmus + program of the European Commission.

LETITBE is an initiative promoted by the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God in seven countries, which has the collaboration of other institutions such as Hospitality Europe and the Hospitaller Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in addition to the Vodafone Spain Foundation, who are responsible for the entire technological part.

LeTITBE project pursues two general objectives: 1) enhance the social and professional inclusion of adult learners with disabilities through an increased use of digital technologies; 2) make educational centers more inclusive, participatory and respectful of the rights of learners with disabilities.

The project will support the personal and professional growth of adult learners with disabilities in a digital learning environment. LeTITBE leverages also the potential of modern ICTs (particularly smartphones and tablets) to facilitate and speed up the learning process of adults with disabilities. This will create innovative and modern pedagogical approaches at the service of the needs and competences of learners with disabilities and enrich the offer of Open Educational Resources. Reinforcing digital skills is as vital as literacy and numeracy because Europe needs digitally competent people who are not only able to use but also to innovate and grow while using these technologies.
