European Get Online Week 2016 | Page 14

GERMANY http://getonlineweek.eu/germany/ The European Get Online Week 2016 in Germany was organized and coordinated by Stiftung Digitale Chancen (SDC) for the fifth time as the national GOW partner. The focus this year was digital inclusion of senior citizens and newcomers. Together with committed partners SDC many existing events and workshops were organized all over Germany. For example a course of eleven students of the Technical University Dortmund who organized workshops and promoted the Get Online Week in Dortmund trained more than 220 people in one week. Or, with the simple programming language Scratch two school classes of newcomers were taught to code. Many people learned about digital media because Levato supported them in the fair trade in Mainz. With many videos that explain the right usage of digital media Levato contributed to the aims of the Get Online Week. It had been a very successful Get Online Week 2016 with more than 3.500 people reached directly.
