GOW 2017 Report
COUNTRY HIGHLIGHTS
This year the campaign was organized by 24 national partners involving 2,850
other organisations. In the spirit of the GOW campaign to support the digital
transformation, our partners have prepared an array of events both at national and
local levels to include various audiences and support them in their online journeys.
To facilitate the campaign at a national level, they have prepared easy-to-use plans
and scripts, organized webinars and live broadcasts of their events.
From learning how to spot ‘fake news’ and robotics for beginners to ‘cybersecurity’
and ‘digital skills galaxies’ – but there is so much more to discover, so please see
the country profiles and the blog posts to be inspired for future years.
Telecentre Europe is grateful to our
partners for their dedication and
commitment to empower people year after
year, equipping them with the skills they
need for our ever-changing digital society.
