With a conjunction of two frameworks, the Global Framework for Learning Competence in the Digital Era and the Global Framework for Educational Competence in the Digital Era, we aim to take a holistic approach to two of the most relevant processes for individuals and societies in the 21st century.

The Global Framework for Educational Competence in the Digital Era (FECDE)—a project carried out by ProFuturo, the digital education programme from the Telefónica Foundation and “la Caixa” Foundation—has the goal of contributing to the lifelong learning of indeed any person, but it is particularly focused on teachers, so as to support them in their complex and transcendental task of both developing themselves professionally and educating those who wish to learn in the digital era.

It has been created as a starting point for the educational community to reflect on what it means to learn and educate in the digital era and on the key role of the teacher in both processes.
