Also, GetBusy.gr created through Microsoft YouthSpark was widely used to get young people skilled and ready for digital jobs. More than 5,000 young people have been active on the platform during the campaign. IRELAND http://www.getonlineweek.eu/ireland/ Ireland’s GOW was mainly promoted within the public libraries.
