INTEGRA
The INTEGRA project aims at developing and improving capabilities of Latin American schools for using, managing, and leveraging the use of Information and Communication Technologies in teaching and administration.
The Demonstration Project will implement, on a Latin American regional scale (comprising Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile), a network of "Innovation Centres" (CedeI – Centros de Innovacion), placed at secondary or tertiary education institutions, to become centres of excellence in didactical experimentation, in animation of formative events, and in service to less developed affiliated schools.
The network of centres will be organised by leveraging the positive results of large-scale European initiatives, namely the Dschola project in Piemonte, Italy, the XTEC network in Catalunya, Spain, and the projects carried out by the National Centre for Technology in Education -NCTE-, in Ireland. Significant project effort will be devoted to enable centres to seek for self-financing of further activities, after the end of the projects, by improving their ICT management capabilities and by interesting relevant political players.
