During the formal part, the representatives of 35 member organizations voted on approval of the 2016 Report and Budget, as well as the Action Plan and Budget for 2017. The new Board was elected for the next two years; and eight new network members were presented.
After the formal parts of the General Assembly, an informal membership meeting was held, during which the delegates were updated on Telecentre Europe’ s projects and programmes and had a chance to network, discuss topics of interest and share opinions.
In the special video message Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, commended the excellent work of the ALL DIGITAL network members who altogether reach 3 million people per year:
In order to use technology for social good, people need better digital skills. The digital age should empower and benefit all people not just the privileged few. Your organisations are crucial to help us reach this goal. Your model is unique in bringing digital world to those who feel excluded from it. Through your many centres in Europe you are instrumental in closing this gap and providing everyone with high quality digital skills and using them as a vector of integration.
