"BEE CREATIVE est une initiative dans le domaine de l'éducation non-formelle et de l'éducation formelle qui vise deux finalités : Permettre aux jeunes de savoir créer à l'aide des outils techniques et des nouveaux médias (« digital literacy ») Promouvoir auprès des jeunes la créativité, les talents et l'esprit d'entreprise dans le contexte des nouvelles technologies de l'information et de communication"

"Learn the basics of programming: Kniwwelino® contains a circuit board based on the Arduino® and Wi-Fi™ technologies and a visual programming interface. A fun environment: The online visual programming interface, in which blocks are assembled like a puzzle, has been designed especially for children. Extensions can be connected to the board to enable them to learn about electronics. Learning by doing: An extensive catalogue of tested and approved fun activities makes progressive and independent learning easier. Kniwwelino® lets children think up and create their own projects. Creative kits: Ready-to-use kits are available to introduce them to and let them create their first projects."

"The teaching professions face rapidly changing demands, which require a new, broader and more sophisticated set of competences than before. The ubiquity of digital devices and applications, in particular, requires educators to develop their digital competence. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a scientifically sound framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. It provides a general reference frame to support the development of educator-specific digital competences in Europe. DigCompEdu is directed towards educators at all levels of education, from early childhood to higher and adult education, including general and vocational education and training, special needs education, and non-formal learning contexts."

L'Éducation aux médias a été fusionnée avec l'enseignement des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication figurant, pour une part, dans le domaine Langues sous Écriture et instruments de la communication. Ces deux aspects étant de plus en plus reliés (par exemple, la recherche d'informations, les films ou les sons numériques), il devient nécessaire de ne plus les dissocier ; par ailleurs, leur aspect transversal leur confère un statut particulier, entre discipline scolaire et éducation.
