'Enhance your digital skills!' - ALL Digital Weeks 2022
Each year, ALL DIGITAL organises the ALL DIGITAL Weeks campaign. Endorsed by the European Commission, the campaign gathers over 100.000 participants from more than 20 countries in Europe, with many local and national activities taking place: from virtual and in-person events and conferences, to workshops on the themes of the digital transformation and its impact.
The 2022 edition takes place between 14 March and 14 April 2022 and will explore the importance of continuously improving one's digital skills throughout jobs, occupations, and stages of life.
Why All Digital Weeks 2022?
The campaign this year aims to raise awareness of the impact of the digital transformation, especially in the context of how much the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe in 2020 and 2021 ended up accelerating this shift. Today, digital skills are needed in the everyday life of everyone, regardless of their age, background, or EU Member State - students, employees, entrepreneurs, everyday people. Still though, 42% of Europeans lack basic digital skills and digital literacy - and 90% of jobs in Europe require a certain degree of digital skills.
