Spotlight Switzerland – Digital Transformation At School

More Information

What is Spotlight Switzerland?
Organized together with local partners, HundrED Spotlights are curated collections often education innovations offering insights into a specific area of education (e.g. sustainability) or a certain location (e.g. Victoria, Australia). Spotlight Switzerland focuses on digital transformation at school, highlighting emerging good practice from kindergarten up to the secondary level.

All applications undergo a thorough research process and a screening by an expert jury. The ten selected projects adhere to strict selection criteria of being impactful, scalable and innovative. The deep insights gained through the Spotlight are shared nationally and internationally.

Why a Spotlight Switzerland?
With a reputation of an education, science and technology pioneer and a strong national agenda focusing on digital transformation, Switzerland is uniquely positioned to be a global centre of digital education innovation, not only in higher education but already starting from early childhood.

Who can apply?
Any kindergarten, primary or secondary school educator working in Switzerland can submit their project focusing on digital transformation in the classroom using this application form.

Timeline: from May 1st to July 5th, 2019.
