In its native land, C&C will bring technological innovation with its 90 workshops scheduled in stand M24 (register here), in addition to exhibiting, together with its international partners, all the solutions related to contemporary education, in a space of over 300 square meters.

Here are some considerations in the interview with Isabella Zen, Education BDM at C&C.

What are the main challenges that schools face today in integrating innovative educational technologies?

In recent years, schools have faced various challenges related to the introduction of educational technologies, often without adequate support for teachers. The current challenge is to adopt innovative learning paths that maintain a high educational value. Furthermore, it is crucial to ensure that these technologies are inclusive, adaptable to the needs of all students, requiring a constant commitment in terms of resources and training. Schools must update staff skills and ensure that no student is left behind.

How does C&C support schools in improving digital learning and which projects are most successful?

C&C supports schools 360°, creating innovative and customized learning environments based on the needs of each institution. In addition to providing devices, it offers educational-methodological training, both in person and remotely, thanks to a team of over 60 certified teachers in various disciplines. The most successful projects include digital classrooms, innovative and professionalizing laboratories, with training courses in areas such as digital storytelling, virtual reality, gamification, STEAM, and coding.

What professional skills and soft skills do you believe are most important for the future of young students and how does C&C contribute to developing them?

According to some research, between 65% and 85% of future jobs do not yet exist, due to evolutions in sectors such as automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics. In this context, digital skills and soft skills, such as creativity, leadership, problem-solving, and critical thinking, are crucial for students. C&C supports schools in developing these skills through projects that promote active and cooperative learning, such as coding, which stimulates computational thinking, and debate, which strengthens communication and relational skills.

How do you collaborate with schools to adapt your solutions to the specific educational needs of each level of education (early childhood, primary, secondary)?

 The goal is to offer tailor-made technological and security solutions for the educational needs of each school level, from early childhood to secondary school. For younger children, tools like iPads are used for intuitive and engaging learning, while for high schools, the focus is on solutions that prepare for the world of work, such as Google Workspace for Education for real-time collaboration. C&C also promotes a culture of cybersecurity, helping schools to implement good practices with companies like Lookout. The Education team guarantees an efficient, secure, and innovative technological ecosystem, capable of enhancing learning and responding to the challenges of the future.
