ACHIEVING DIGITAL INCLUSION YEAR BY YEAR, PERSON
BY PERSON, STEP BY STEP!
IGet Online Week 2017 was run for the eighth time in
Romania by EOS Foundation, and it was perhaps the most
active and interesting of all past editions of the campaign
so far. It was really the spring of digital opportunities
in Romania! For the first time, EOS has partnered with
ANBPR - the association of public libraries in Romania
to deliver an even more relevant campaign. The number
of Get Online Week partners has doubled this year - this
resulted in a wealth of activities with diverse audiences
and reached over 1^9,^900 people.
277 organisations offered 722 events on seven key
themes:
  The first click has been the headline of the
Romanian campaign for years. This is especially
important because Romania still comes last in the
EU in terms of digital skills of its citizens.
  Youth employability – over 1,500 young people used
Skillage.eu and YouRock.jobs to understand where
they are with their employability readiness and
started building a strong CV.
  Digital Competence Checker – in partnership with
Certipro Education, over 1,000 IC3-Digital Literacy
practice tests were provided to young people in
order to evaluate their level of digital skills based
on the IC3 standard and the DigiComp baseline.
  Professional development courses for teachers – In
partnership with Microsoft, over 400 teachers were
able to learn more and get access to resources that
will enable them to use technology in teaching in a
more meaningful and efficient way.
  Digital communication – over 100 workshops
organised to teach the use of the MovieMaker
software to edit short films.
  Web accessibility – awareness raising campaign
in the public sector to improve the display and
presentation of digital information on the websites
of public authorities. Partner organisations were
encouraged to use easy web-accessibility auditing
software to produce a short audit report on a
chosen public website and send it together with a
cover letter to the respective authority highlighting
the areas which need improving.
  Promotion of new media through infographics –
over 60 workshops for schools, NGOs, etc. to teach
them how to develop an infographic, which can
present their message in a powerful way.
