    In this digital competences for educators project, we want to enhance the personal learning path of teachers/trainers and stimulate an innovative climate for educational organisations. The project is based on the DigCompEdu framework, which is the European Framework for the Digital Competences of Educators. In this project the framework is utilized to support the transnational and national development of educators’ digital competences in innovative ways. The project provides three outputs in order to enhance digital skills and competences in educational organisations on the one hand and aims to create an innovative climate on the other hand. All these outputs contain tangible and specific results, which can be utilized in open access during and after the project:1. As a first output, we want to create a 360° assessment tool to measure the digital skills and competences of teachers, based on the DigCompEdu framework. Using the made to order Comet tool (web-based Competence Measurement Tool), students/trainees, teachers/trainers and supervisors assess the competences of the teachers. The analysis of digital competences will expand extra team role behaviour (Belbin) and learning styles (Kolb) analysis, to have a better insight into the personalities of teachers/trainers, to stimulate innovation and cooperation/peer learning among the teaching staff, in addition to the fulfilment of an innovation favourable organisation culture.In partner organizations, Human Resources management and teacher coaches will be involved in this project, to stimulate the continuity of this output after the project lifetime. 2. DigCompEdu is a very important framework, also when recruiting new staff. In addition to the 360° analysis of the digital competences of teachers, it is very important to create a personal learning path for every new teacher within the organisation. New teachers should be oriented and should be involved in a personal learning path. Supervisors and teacher coaches should be aware of the needs and ambitions of staff in order to create specific innovative learning activities. The Learning Path will be integrated in the LMS of every educational organisation and we will analyse the added value of Learning Analytics in this output.3. The DigCompEdu also suggests a progression model to help educators assess and develop their digital competence. It puts forward six different stages. On a day to day base, it is hard to reach the highest levels: Leadership and Innovation. In this output, we want to take the educational organisation and teacher/trainer staff to the next level and stimulate innovation in the organisation and between the project partners. In this output therefore we will create a framework to create an innovation culture and the exchange of best innovative practices. The 360 analysis of teacher/trainer staff will be needed to develop this output. In this way, we have a better view on the strengths of the teacher staff, how they want to learn new skills and collaborate.Partner organisations will involve key decision makers from management, HR, teachers and coaches. All partner organizations are in a different stage of digital development, and this is why transnational networking and collaboration will be an interesting development opportunity. Every organisation has a possibility to reflect, compare their stage and status related to the digital transition of their organisation and make the educational organisation ahead of the curve.
