An exciting new hybrid course to assist CSOs in the Eastern Partnership to strengthen their digital competence.
The course is composed of a mixture of online diagnostic sessions, physical workshops, and practical one-to-one coaching. CSOs will have the opportunity to focus on their priority needs, whether that is to improve the way in which they access and use data, or how they use digital tools for communication and outreach, or how to strengthen their cybersecurity.
The course will begin on 18th October and be completed by the end of 2023.
The course is designed around the EU Digital Competence Framework. Participants will be guided through a diagnostic process to pinpoint the most relevant areas, and the individual courses will be adapted to the group’s needs.
Please see below some examples of topics the course might cover:
