Winners of the 4th edition of Kaixomudua.eus, competition organised by the PUNTUEUS Foundation, have been announced today at the Gamegune. Kaixomundua.eus is a project created for the school community and aims to promote knowledge of digital skills and the creation of digital content in Basque, learning to create websites.

To do this, students have created a real website through motivating works and they have become into digital creators. On the other hand, reinforcing the training of teachers who need technological skills is another of the objectives of this initiative.
