EUROPEAN LEVEL SUPPORT

Telecentre Europe is proud to have Get Online Week 2017 under the patronage of Mr Tibor Navracsics, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport:
To raise awareness about the campaign, Telecentre Europe’ s CEO Laurentiu Bunescu spoke at the European Internet Forum Breakfast Debate‘ Digital skills of tomorrow’ on 29 March, hosted by Brando Benifei, MEP and EIF Steering Committee Member, and Victor Negrescu, MEP and EIF Member. The debate focused on delivering opportunities for digital skills development to EU citizens – in order to tackle both unemployment and social exclusion.
Laurentiu Bunescu said,“ We need to make the most of the opportunities provided by Get Online Week, when Europe is again standing up for the importance of digital skills. At the event on 29 March, we reached out to new stakeholders to partner and to join the campaign, to support more people with the skills they need.”
