To bridge this gap, the All Digital Academy (ADA) project targets adult educators, aiming to equip them with emerging digital technology skills. ADA offers online training and resources focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Through MOOCs and a Community of Practice, ADA fosters collaborative learning environments. Initial assessments from the first two cycles of ADA courses demonstrate significant improvements in adult educators' skills, suggesting the intervention's effectiveness. By empowering educators, ADA seeks to enhance digital literacy among EU citizens, contributing to broader digital inclusion efforts and addressing the challenges of digital and green transitions. %8 12/2024 %* yes
