Community workshop in Brussels
date: 23/10/2023
On 28 and 29 September 2023, we hosted the third and final EDEH community workshop of the year, this time in Brussels. Since 2023 is the European Year of Skills, the community workshop focused on the topic of digital skills provision. The Digital Competence Framework (DigComp) for citizens served as the framework for reference, which is why the workshop centred on basic digital skills. During one and a half engaging days, the workshop participants identified good practices, discussed perspectives from different countries and heard insights from different projects of the Hub’s Accelerator programme.
One of the highlights was the panel of the European Commission sharing that the Commission is working on Council Recommendation on improving the provision of digital skills in education and training. The Recommendation aims to provide a qualitative, inclusive, and consistent approach to the development of digital skills across all levels and sectors of education and training. At the workshop, concrete recommendations have been drafted that are now being finalised for dissemination.
