Telecentre Europe Awards 2016: Apply now and win a trip to Ghent!

30 Jun, 2016

Telecentre Europe has established the Telecentre Europe Awards to recognise the achievements of individuals and organisations across Europe that enable people to get to grips with technology.

Thousands of individuals and hundreds of organisations around Europe work daily with communities to empower citizens through technology and the Internet: from teaching digital literacy and online safety to carrying out transactions with government and boosting entrepreneurship, from supporting young people’s employability to uniting different stakeholders for ensuring digital inclusion.

Telecentre Europe Awards acknowledge their innovation, dedication and the inspiring role they play to many people.

All finalists will be entitled to FREE accommodation (1 person for 2 nights). Award winners (one in each category) will also have their travel expenses covered by Telecentre Europe.

Awards

The Awards ceremony will be held in Ghent, Belgium on the evening of the 7th October 2016 in the beautiful Ghent City Hall.

All finalists will receive certificates and gadget prizes and will have the opportunity to present their initiatives to an audience of 150 participants.
