What is DILIGENCE?
DILIGENCE (Digital Literacy Guidance in Teacher Education for Critical Empowerment) is a capacity-building project in teacher education that aims to strengthen digital literacy within Mozambique’s education system. The project equips teacher educators, pre-service teachers, and in-service teachers with essential digital, pedagogical, and civic competences to support inclusive, sustainable, and participatory learning environments.
Grounded in the Whole School Approach, DILIGENCE integrates participatory learning, digital literacy for critical empowerment, reflective practice, and community engagement. The project contributes to reducing regional disparities, supports educators with fewer opportunities, and strengthens the connection between primary and secondary teacher education, fostering systemic change in Mozambique.
Digital Literacy for Critical Empowerment
Our Mission
The mission is to address critical challenges in Mozambique’s educational system by improving digital literacy among teacher educators and in-service teachers, equipping them with the digital and pedagogical skills required to create inclusive learning environments that foster critical thinking, creativity, social responsibility and civic engagement.
Our Vision
The vision of the DILIGENCE project is to foster systemic change in education in Mozambique by contributing to a digitally inclusive, democratic and resilient society. The ambition is to make the virtual platform, framework and modules accessible to educators across other Sub-Saharan African countries.
Why it Matters
Digital transformation in education must be inclusive, participatory and accessible to all communities.
Mozambique continues to face significant educational challenges related to unequal access to digital infrastructure, limited connectivity, regional disparities and insufficient pedagogical training in Digital Literacy. These challenges particularly affect underserved communities and educators with fewer opportunities.
DILIGENCE responds to these challenges by promoting collaborative learning methodologies, critical empowerment and sustainable educational transformation. The project contributes to strengthening democratic participation, educational resilience and social inclusion across Mozambique and other Sub-Saharan African contexts.
