Our third Transnational Project Meeting took place in Budapest on 5 and 6 February, hosted by our partner, the Hand in Hand Foundation. As EDIGIT begins its second year and we approach the halfway point of the project, this meeting was an important opportunity to take stock of our progress, align on quality 

and make practical decisions that keep our resources useful for teachers, educators, disability specialists and ICT professionals.

During the two-day meeting, participants reviewed the progress achieved so far and shared preliminary conclusions from the training module content being developed by the different partners. We also discussed the design of the modules and the self-assessment tools, and we shared an initial progress update on one of the project’s key activities: the training of trainers. This face-to-face session, planned for 2027, will be the first implementation of our training materials, delivered in sessions aimed at teachers and other education, inclusion and third sector professionals. 

The aim of EDIGIT is to embed accessibility and universal design into STEM education from the earliest stages, so that future technology developers consider the diverse needs of society, including people with disabilities. Budapest was an important coordination point, helping us to turn this ambition into tangible, practical resources and a coherent learning pathway.

In addition to the working sessions, we had the opportunity to strengthen our collaboration through informal exchanges and a tour of the city. These moments enabled us to share good practices in education, disability care and technology, the very cross-sector spirit that makes EDIGIT possible.

Over the coming months, we will continue refining the training modules and their self-assessment tools, 

planning our next activities and updating our community as we move towards publishing the project’s next resources.
