Pix at the heart of a European project to harmonise digital skills assessment in schools

Announcement • Preview

The kick-off meeting of the Erasmus+ project entitled DigiCLASS (Digital Competence Levels Assessment in School Education) was successfully held on March 24th and March 25th at the Pix office in Paris.

Over the course of these two days, partners engaged in strategic discussions and workshops to define the key steps for the project’s implementation. The activities included a hands-on demonstration of the Pix platform, exploring its applications for digital skills assessment in education, and two focused workshops were held to plan the first phase of implementation: one on the translation and contextualization process, and the other on school selection and teacher training.

Around twenty members of the Digiclass project pose for a group photo on a terrace at the Pix offices.

Running from March 2026 to October 2028, this forward-looking project aims to support the assessment of digital skills in primary and secondary education (including IVET) by adapting and expanding the proven Pix platform across Europe.

The goal is to create a shared and scalable European model for assessing the digital skills of students aged 12 to 19, by adapting and contextualizing the Pix assessment framework, content, and platform to meet the linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical needs of each participating country, and deploying it in 60 pilot schools across Austria, Aragon (Spain), and Italy.

In this way, DigiCLASS contributes to the broader European effort to harmonize and strengthen digital skills in education, fostering a unified approach across nations.

Around twenty members of the Digiclass project are attending a meeting at Pix’s offices in Paris.
