For the fifth year in a row, the event was held in
Spain, with the support of Telecentre Networking
Community Association (Asociación Comunidad de
Redes de Telecentros). The activities at telecentres
within the network focused on new occupations,
training for employment and digital skills
accreditation.
The main bash of the Campaign was the 15th
Meeting of Telecentre Networks, organised in
collaboration with the Technological Modernisation
Agency of Galicia under the slogan “Boosting Your
Digital Upskilling”.
Additionally, Fundación Dédalo launched its new
service: “Access to resources for unemployed
people”. This service serves as a workstation to
facilitate the integration of unemployed people into
the labour market (building their own CV, active
job search online and access to information and
resources to consider self-employment as a job
opportunity).
Also, Fundación Dédalo donated 22 computers
to non-profit associations to promote the use of
technologies among groups finding difficulties to
access the internet.
Some 120 training actions were
held during the Get Online
Week in Extremadura alone,
with around 1,100 participants.
Among other activities,
several workshops were held
in Tudela, such as “SKILLAGE,
Are you ready to get hired?”.

games created by high school students with Scratch
and could work with Scratch themselves.
Record-breaking numbers in Sweden show 132
participants took part in the campaign, total 4,580
people. The large majority of the participants were
libraries, the reason being is the framework law
communal and guidelines libraries have to follow.
Target groups are people with different disabilities,
national minorities, migrants and children and
youth.
Among many events, in Väster Norrland an e-fair
was held with exhibitors from the library, the
municipality, local transportation, pharmacies,
banks etc., to inform visitors about e-services.
In Kalmar Län the focus was on immigrants and
asylum seekers. Invitations were sent to the asylum
housings in the County to visit their local libraries
where they had information about everything from
library services, to digital magazines in different
languages, to how to loan books to help them
with related questions to job seeking, to digital
identification and social and healthcare security.
Events varied from big to small, from lectures to
hands on training/education for young to senior
