Telecentre-Europe is planning to celebrate the eSkills Week 2010 through a pan-European initiative focused to bring people online in all European countries. The initiative called Get Online Day will be coordinated by Telecentre-Europe and implemented with the assistance of national partners through telecentres. The date adopted for the one-day event is 4 March 2010.
The e-Skills Week campaign aims to raise awareness of the growing demand of highly skilled ICT practitioners and users within the industry. Telecentre-Europe is already a stakeholder in the eSkills Week Campaign, coordinated by DIGITALEUROPE and European Schoolnet.
AIMS
- To bring people online (focus on the offline Europeans, those who have never accessed internet before)
