Digital education is not a topic for the future, but for the present. And in four “New Generation Schools” in Hashtag#Cambodia, a new program shows how it’s done: practical, participatory and effective.
The Digital Visualization Technology Skills Accelerator Program (DViTSA) brings 3D modeling, animation and game design into the classroom – with specially trained teachers, well-equipped labs and learning approaches that focus on teamwork and creativity.
“Education is the key, but only if it connects with the children’s reality. That’s why we support programs like this: They promote skills that have a future, they strengthen young people’s self-confidence and they build bridges – between urban and rural areas, between girls and boys, between learning and living,” says Pius Frick, our coordinator in Cambodia.
What is special about this project:
– Digital skills for young people as early as secondary school
– Support also in rural regions
– Use of free and open software: sustainable, cost-effective, accessible
The project was presented in Phnom Penh at the end of June 2025 – with broad participation from the ministry, teachers, project partners and students. The enthusiasm was palpable. And the will to expand the program is strong.
The project is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, the LED and KAPE.
