DO IT YOURSELF, BE INSPIRED, MAKE MONEY!
The Information Society Development Foundation
(Fundacja Rozwoju Społeczeństwa Informacyjnego – FRSI)
was the national partner for the seventh time.
376 libraries, schools, local NGOs, houses of culture and
other institutions joined the GOW 2017 campaign in Poland.
They organized meetings for people of all ages, according
to the ready-to-use scenario “e-Passions” developed by
FRSI.
According to the scenario, the meetings were focused
on three topics common for everyone: cooking, sewing /
fashion and do-it-yourself. Their first part was a catchy
quiz, where each of the question was an opportunity to
present an interesting and inspiring blog. The second part
of the meeting included the short presentation of a local
guest (e.g. a blogger). As a result, participants were able
to improve their knowledge and learn how much valuable
information they might find on the internet. They also
discovered that everyone can become a blogger, you just
ought to have a passion and energy to share your interests
with other people and that by running a blog you can
increase your entrepreneurship and make money.
376 events were organized for 11,300 participants;
promotion activities reached over 3 million users.

For the third time, Programa Escolhas (Choices Programme,
PE) led the Get Online Week in Portugal.
Programa Escolhas has 90 digital centers around Portugal
that provide ICT formation to their participants. GOW17
information and resources were disseminated to all of
them and invited them to join the campaign. 15 centers
conducted workshops related to the two topics mostly
important to their target audiences: Cybersecurity and
Employment and Entrepreneurship, which were attended
by 100 people.
One of the centers made a video about the risk of talk with
strangers on the internet. The story is about a girl who
disappeared after meeting an older man through facebook.
