It will improve attitudes of peer-interaction and cooperative learning, forming part of a comprehensive digital literacy in order to foster personal development, active citizenship and employability perspectives. Participants involved in the project will have a medium or good level of digital and literacy skillsand will be social workers with previous experience in training adult people. They will participate inthe project to undertake an upskilling path to improve digital and transversal skills employing the DST methodology. They will acquire self-confidence and motivation in order to foster proactive attitudes when working with disadvantaged groups. EST rationale stems from the trend of fast-paced evolution in ICT technologies and digital instruments, triggering a continuous, open-ended re-thinking of established models of social interaction, participation, education, business and employability. The ownership of a set of good literacy and digital skills has become a discriminating factor of employability and of effective exercise citizenship rights. In addition to being a learner-centred instrument of education tailored to the needs of groupsfacing impairments in traditional learning (i.e. migrants, low-skilled adults), DST enhancesemotional interest and cognitive attention through the inspirational potential of stories.

For more update, go and check on the website: https://www.ilmeteo.it/meteo/Sassari Good to know: In Italy the unit of currency is Euro (€). It is not convenient to go to currency exchange offices at the airport because their exchange rates are higher. You can exchange money in exchange offices in the city, postal offices and banks which generally offer the best rates. We recommend you to bring enough cash because credit cards are not always accepted, for instance in small establishments. In Italy we have two types of three-pin earthed rear entry plugs: one has 4 mm in diameter pins while the other 5 mm in diameter pins. Don’t forget to bring a universal adapter. It is better not to drink water from the sink. It is not usual to call a taxi by waving your hands in the street. You should call the dedicated number and ask for a taxi or go to the designated taxi stations recognizable by an orange sign. Usually, shops close at lunchtime (around 13:00/13:30) and reopen in the afternoon (between 16:00 and 17:00) and close around 20:00 or 20:30. Some shops or supermarkets do not do the lunch break. If you order a latte at the bar, they will bring you a simple glass of white milk. The tip at the restaurant is not mandatory; it is at the discretion of the client, because the service is already included in the meals’ price. At the restaurant, you will pay "coperto". It is a cost you pay for the occupation of the table (setting of the table, use of the cutlery, bread, and cleaning of the table). When you are at the restaurant, ask for the bill and they will bring it to your table. Lunch: approximately from 12:30 to 15:00. Dinner: approximately from 19:30 to 22:30.
