“TRANSFORMATIVE COMPETENCES AND DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGIES FOR A NEW HUMANISM”
Qwerty was founded as the scientific journal of the Collaborative Knowledge Building Group (CKBG) with the aim of investigating how technologies act as cultural artefacts within educational and professional contexts. Over time, it has become an accredited space for publishing on the ways digital tools and environments support learning, knowledge building and innovation in multiple domains and settings.
The 10th CKBG National Conference, organised in collaboration with INDIRE in Florence (27–29 November 2025), invites the community to reflect on the role of transformative competences in the digital age for the construction of a new humanism. The call stresses how technologies can sustain happiness, value creation, sustainability and conscious transformative education, in line with international frameworks on AI and digital competences, and with a vision of education oriented to individual and collective well-being. Building on this framework, the Qwerty special issue “Transformative competences and digital technologies for a new humanism” aims to gather contributions that explore how educational technologies – including but not limited to AI and generative AI – can foster transformative competences, human flourishing and sustainable knowledge building in formal, non-formal and informal learning contexts.
