For a (self)conscious use of digital and data technologies in educational institutions
Welcome to the UNBLACK THE BOX website!
Are YOU interested in the topics of datafication and digitalisation in an educational context?
AND…
… do you work at a research institution?
… are you a (prospective) educator at an educational institution?
… do you train educators through initial and continuing education programmes?
… are you involved in education policy decision processes?
… are you a parent, caregiver, or interested for other reasons?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
UNBLACK THE BOX is a network initiative founded in 2019 by scholars in the fields of education, sociology, media education, art education, and health education, as well as teachers and organisational consultants. Its goal is to empower educators, learners, and their parents alike to address the growing datafication and digitisation of education with critical and conscious decision-making and creative abilities – even without extensive IT knowledge. In doing so, we engage with educational institutions ranging from early childhood centres to universities, as well as other stakeholders in the fields of educational policy and lifelong learning.
On these pages, you can learn more about our Open Educational Resources (OERs) as well as our practice-oriented workshops and consulting services.
We hope you find our website useful. Please feel free to email us at info@unblackthebox.org to share your experiences, and we’d love to hear your suggestions for future development and collaboration.
