WIDENING SCOPE OF GET ONLINE WEEK
ERVET organized the GOW in Italy for the third time.
Inspired by previous GOWs, in 2017 Pane e Internet (PeI)
developed similar initiatives into a new “Catalogue of
digital culture events”, which are now offered throughout
the year for local implementation. The Catalogue and
a calendar of more than 60 initiatives drawn from it
(running until the Summer of 2017) was presented as the
first PeI’s Digital Spring campaign, with the GOW17 as its
main event.
Altogether, the GOW17 in Emilia Romagna promoted 40
initiatives with almost 1,900 participants. 15 events took
place in Bologna city and province, 14 in Ferrara and
Modena and the others in the remaining six provinces.
All 13 local PeI Points and libraries organised at least one
event; 25 partners, including ten schools, collaborated
with them or ran initiatives where PeI points do not exist.
  15 events presented the paths to new digital
jobs (especially in web marketing), (self-)
entrepreneurship and e-leadership to students from
the last years of secondary school and university
and young NEETs.
  14 e-Services events presented and explained the
use and benefits of the personal e-health folder;
eBooks and new digital library services; new apps to
make life easier for family caregivers.
  11 trainings and conferences on safe internet use
and privacy, mostly for students and their parents,
were run in schools, libraries, municipal halls and
a mosque. The meeting in lower secondary school
A. Bertola in Rimini was attended by a record 385
students from 17 classes!

services.
