Centre of Technical Culture Rijeka organized GOW
activities for the 6th consecutive year offering 12
comprehensive one-day lectures and workshops. 66
participants came from various target groups - students,
unemployed, seniors, employed and freelancers.
The workshops were centred around two themes:
cybersecurity and employment. On cybersecurity, there
were lectures on the dangers on the Internet, such
as computer viruses, malware and adware, explained
Facebook to seniors, and gave an introductory lesson
on Skype. The highlight of GOW 2017 was the Facebook
workshop, which garnered high attendance from ever
active seniors. Their level of interest and participation
was truly inspiring.
To foster employment, CTC Rijeka focused on providing
its young participants with the relevant knowledge and
skills, such as programming and visual presentation
with programs like Adobe Photoshop and Canva. Also,
participants learned how to use the Europass format to
better present their skills and experience and get a better
chance for employment.
CTC Rijeka is proud to participate in the GOW initiative,
and its intention to continue to so is fully supported by
its citizens.
