Innovation Centers: Designing a New Learning Space for Primary/Secondary Education in Greece

After the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted traditional classroom practices and strengthened the move towards digital education and e-learning, the educational environment is confronted with both opportunities and problems on a worldwide and European Union level. In reaction to these developments, the European Union has unveiled the "Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027)" to improve teachers' and students' digital literacy with the goal of encouraging the use of cutting-edge technology in the classroom and establishing a more welcoming and accessible learning environment. Within this framework, the establishment of a new Learning Space, named Innovation Centers (ICs), for primary/secondary education is an important step for Greece. These new learning establishments will serve as centers for research, experimentation, and cooperation, allowing educators and students to investigate novel approaches, take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies, and enhance educational opportunities and experiences.
