Latvian version of DigComp 3.0 launched!

Since June 2026, DigComp 3.0 resources have been localized and available in Latvian. DigComp 3.0 has been localized into Latvian with the aim of ensuring its accessibility for Latvian citizens, state, municipal, and private institutions, as well as to promote its use for digital competence development in Latvia.

DigComp 3.0 describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for an individual to be digitally competent in everyday life, for participation in society, work, and learning; the framework applies to both children and adults. The framework is technologically neutral and designed to be adjustable and adaptable for various purposes within the context of education, training, and employment.

To introduce the Latvian version of the framework to stakeholders and the wider public, the Ministry of Education and Science and the “EPALE National Support Service” project, in cooperation with the Latvian Information and Communications Technology Association (LIKTA) and the State Education Development Agency (VIAA), on 9th of June organised the DigComp 3.0 Latvian version launch webinar.

The webinar focused on discussing:

What's new in DigComp 3.0 – elements of the framework
The context of DigComp 3.0 in the educational ecosystem
The DigComp 3.0 framework for digital competence management in employment
DigComp 3.0 resources, support, and future development opportunities

Webinar expert presentations.

Additionally, amendments to the legislative framework are currently being prepared in Latvia, establishing a transition period until April 1, 2027, to officially shift from DigComp 2.2 to the new DigComp 3.0 framework.

The Latvian Information and Communications Technology Association (LIKTA) invites everyone to explore the DigComp 3.0 resources in Latvian:

A practical tool to support EU policies and the digital transformation

The DigComp framework has increasingly become a reference for EU policies related to digital skills. The framework supports the Digital Education Action Plan, the Union of Skills strategy and related Action Plan on basic skills (PDF), and the Apply AI strategy. It is also the conceptual basis of the Digital Skills Indicator (DSI), used to monitor the level of basic digital skills in Europe through the Digital Decade Policy Programme.

By describing competence in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes, the framework is designed to help policymakers, educators, training providers and employers to develop curricula, assessments, upskilling pathways and sectoral competence profiles. The framework influences and inspires digital skills policies at international and European levels. It is widely used in the EU to help both children and adults, and covers a range of competences, from basic to highly advanced.

The Latvian version of the framework has been localized based on the DigComp 3.0 version (in English) published by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) in November 2025.

The Latvian version of DigComp 3.0 has been prepared with the support of the European Union Recovery Fund project No. 2.3.1.4.i.0/1/23/I/CFLA/001 "Development of the Individual Learning Accounts Approach".

The webinar was organised within the framework of the European Commission’s Erasmus+ project “EPALE National Support Service” (European Commission Grant Agreement Nr. 101196944—EPALE NSS LV).
