On February 26, 2024, around 50 GPEN Ambassadors from five continents came together digitally for presentations, workshops and talks on the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation in Protestant education. All kinds of practical issues such as the availability of digital means in the class room, open source software and competences needed for teachers were addressed. Also a number of ethical issues and dilemmas surrounding educational digitalisation were highlighted in the various presentations and workshops.
The Koforidua Statement on this topic from our earlier conference in Ghana was again endorsed by all participants. It remains a good summary of the GPEN vision on digitalisation in Protestant schools around the globe.
At the end of the conference two Steering Committees had their first meetings. One will be dealing with “Activities and encounters” and the other with “Networking”.
