The campaign organiser delivered a smartphone training (Telecottage Katedra – Smartphones from the choice to the administration) mainly tailored for the elderly. In addition, GOW16 was also promoted through “SZÓ-TÉR Egyesület” (local television, Szeged) and “Civil Hang” Radio (regional radio). IRELAND http://www.getonlineweek.eu/ireland/ FIT Ltd. organised eNewsletter Information Stands at a variety of locations and eInclusion training at Terenure Enterprise Centre. The highlight of the campaign was the Terenure Enterprise Centre ‘Connecting our Countries’ event. The event was organised with FIT, the DCENR (Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources), BITC (Business in the Community), and BITCNI (Businiess in the Community Northern Ireland). The event was a Skype event for senior citizens who had learned how to use iPads. There were 3 groups taking part: one in Dublin, one in Bangor (Northern Ireland) and one in Nottingham (England). The 3 groups spoke to each other and discussed how learning to use new technologies had improved their lives. It was uplifting and inspiring to see just how much it had changed their lives. 15
