Digital empowerment for lifelong learning and transformative andragogy (DELTA) for adult educators

In October 2025 the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), in partnership with Shanghai Open University (SOU) published the DELTA (Digital Empowerment for Lifelong Learning and Transformative Andragogy) Framework which "aims to enhance adult educators’ digital competencies and foster inclusive, lifelong learning opportunities for all."
It is "a dynamic set of competencies and capacity building resources designed to strengthen digital practice across four key domains: Instructional practice; Digital empowerment; Media and information literacy; Transformative practice"
"The DELTA Framework is the result of a two-year, collaborative process involving international experts and technical working groups from nine countries." (quoted from here).
