Competence Area 0 focuses on the fundamental understanding of digital technologies as well as their application and operation; it encompasses the knowledge, application and provision of tools and structures for digital accessibility. Furthermore, it addresses the understanding of the difference between analogue and digital and the engagement with digitality as well as the development of corresponding judgement regarding opportunities, limitations and risks of digitalisation. It explicitly anchors the human-centred, reflective and responsible use of digital technologies in the spirit of Digital Humanism: the conscious alignment of digital technology use with human needs, societal values and questions of self- determination, fairness, participation, well- being and social coexistence – including the ability to consciously recognise the difference between humans and machines and to derive values, responsibilities and boundaries from this.
