Digital Learning Week
The next edition of Digital Learning Week will take place on 1-5 September 2025 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris
Digital Learning Week is UNESCO's annual flagship event on ?digital learning and the transformation of education. Launched in 2023, building on the foundation of UNESCO’s Mobile Learning Week over the past decade, the event aims to convene the community of digital education leaders, policy-makers, researchers and practitioners from various organizations, including UN agencies, governments, NGOs and the private sector to steer technology for education.
UNESCO's Digital Learning Week presents a unique opportunity to participate in dynamic and thought-provoking discussions, dialogue and the sharing of groundbreaking ideas, and to foster meaningful co-creation and collaborative efforts to advance the digital transformation of education and to “reimagine our futures together.”
Digital Learning Week 2024
Human societies face the dual challenges of digital and green transitions. While technology promises progress, it also introduces ethical issues, particularly with AI, and accelerates digitalization's impact on climate change. Generative AI's rapid rise is outpacing regulatory adaptations, and the digital economy's extractive model and e-waste undermine sustainable development. Education systems must foster human-centered mindsets and digital competencies to align these transitions, ensuring technology supports sustainable and ethical goals. UNESCO's 2024 Digital Learning Week aims to explore the linkages between these two transitions to promote the responsible use of digital technology in education.
