The DATA-READY project focuses on integrating Data Literacy (DL) into compulsory education across Europe. Recognising DL as a vital 21st-century skill, closely linked to digital, scientific, and AI literacies, the project addresses the current gap in curricula. It proposes a comprehensive European Data Literacy Framework (DLF) to guide teaching and assessment, support teacher training, and promote interdisciplinary learning. Spanning from 2025 to 2028, project activities involve mapping existing practices, piloting with students, and formulating policy recommendations in partner countries (Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Portugal, Poland). By equipping educators and students with critical data skills, DATA-READY aims to foster informed, ethical, and data-literate citizens.
