RAISING CITIZENS` AWARENESS ABOUT THE ONLINE SERVICES,
INTERNET SAFETY, PROMOTION OF DIGITAL JOBS AND ENCOURAGING
THE YOUTH AND THE UNEMPLOYED TO ENHANCE THEIR DIGITAL SKILLS
An army of enthusiasts committed to promotion of
e-skills and digital empowerment participated in GOW17
in Serbia this year. More than 6,200 citizens participated
in 150 activities organised mainly by creative teachers
from primary and secondary schools as well as librarians,
NGO activists and professional associations throughout
the country:
  The youngest ones experienced their first click with
the support of their older friends and teachers
  Students in higher grades checked their e-skills
by doing Skillage and used online applications to
make the learning of different subject easier, more
amusing and attractive for pupils. Coding was
also promoted, and among the most prominent
promoters were girls who started their academic
education in this field.
  A number of local partners organised workshops
for teachers and psychologists related to internet
safety for children, the role of schools in preventing
cyber violence, presenting also different online
tools and possibilities of using ICT in teaching but
also raising awareness of the need to continuously
develop digital skills.
  Elderly, as the most digitally excluded group in
Serbia, were not neglected during the campaign.
Schools organised intergenerational knowledge
exchange workshops where the pupils helped their
grandparents and elderly neighbours to acquire
basic e-skills and conquer the space of internet for
the first time.
