Hellenic Professionals Informatics Society (HePIS)
organized GOW campaign for the fourth time. In
2017, HePIS focused on promotion of coding as a key
skill for all through their social media channels and
getbusy portal.
During GOW17, HePIS in cooperation with CEPIS
invited young people who want to enhance their
digital skills and join the labor market directly, to
participate in a pioneering initiative in cooperation
with the Athens University of Economics and
Business and the support of 170 other institutions.
The 2nd Coding Bootcamp is an accelerated
program of re-qualification and placement in
corresponding jobs in Greece. 50 young people
attend 500 hours of training in 14 weeks, are
certified and then placed in relevant jobs as
developers with 100% guaranteed employment.
As part of the I-LINC Digital Changemaker’s
activities, a seminar “Social media & professional
development” was organized for undergraduate
students in collaboration with TEI of Thessaly, in
Larissa, Greece.

LEARNING VIA WEBINARS
Foundation for Community Network (ComNet)
organised GOW for the third time. In 2017, to
maximise the outreach, it offered three webinars:
  How to address digital generations -
cybersecurity for youth and teachers
  How to recognize fake news on the internet
  How to offer 1% of personal income tax for
the civil society and how to make the personal
income tax return online. The topic is very
relevant, as many of the Hungarian people -
mainly the highly-educated people - find it
important to support civil society with their
1% of their personal income tax. The presenter
was an expert from the National Tax and
Customs Administration.
ComNet involved telecentres from their network to
provide computers for participants who could not
join webinars from home. The webinars are available
now on YouTube for everyone to watch and other
telecentres to use in their activities. In addition,
GOW17 tools and resources were promoted to all
participants through posters and leaflets.
32 telecentres participated in the GOW17 activities
