Free digital workshops in Donaustadt: Learning for all age groups!

The Austrian project "Digital everywhere" picks up speed and brings free workshops to digitization to the Donaustadt. This initiative has set itself the goal of giving everyone interested, regardless of their prior knowledge, the opportunity to train themselves in the areas of cell phone, internet and digital trends. The workshops are aimed not only at the younger generation, but also to senior citizens who want to navigate more safely in a digital world.

digitization kept surrounding us. It is a process that will change our lives and will not stop. It is therefore important that we all - no matter how old - learn step by step to deal with the new technologies. The workshops of “Digital everywhere” are designed to give everyone a chance to expand their digital competence. This also includes the special workshop "We are now online and safe", which is offered specifically for seniors to enable you to experience a safe online experience.

The workshops in detail

Every workshop offers a period of 2.5 to 3 hours to learn new things and at the same time clarify individual questions. The formats include topics such as online security, smart home or artificial intelligence. Participants can choose from various offers, including "Online - but safe", which deals with security when surfing the Internet, as well as "no fear of digitization", which provides general information about the digital world.

The workshops take place in several Viennese districts and also in parts of Lower Austria, which makes it easier for participants to choose a suitable location. Knowledge that enriches everyday life and strengthens security in dealing with technology.

why is that important?

The digital world develops rapidly, and it does not fail to learn to learn skills in order to find practical support in many areas of life. The "digital competence" has set itself the task of ensuring by 2030 that everyone in Austria has basic digital skills. This initiative could make a decisive contribution to combat the shortage of skilled workers in the industry and to equip the population for the future digitized requirements.
