BOOSTING PEOPLE’S E-SKILLS AND
SUPPORTING THEM IN GETTING JOBS
Campaign summary
The seventh edition of the European Get Online Week (GOW) to digitally empower and employ people
was celebrated on 14-20 March this year. With a record number of 29 campaign partners involved in
27 countries, the campaign proved again the necessity to raise awareness about ICT competence and
the importance to see every European digitally savvy. Cisco and Liberty Global financially supported the
campaign which was also endorsed by some of the European Commissioners. European GOW 2016 was
again part of eSkills for Jobs to tackle youth unemployment.
The week-long initiative is organised by Telecentre
Europe and its members every March since 2010. A
variety of non-formal education providers such as
telecentres, libraries, community centres and nonfor-profits are the ones who organise thousands of
various activities in their communities throughout
