The European Digital Skills Awards 2024 want to recognise and promote the outstanding work of organizations throughout Europe that have contributed to the advancement of digital skills through their projects, programmes and initiatives. From basic skills, such as using a computer or a tablet, to training ICT specialists in emerging technologies like AI, Blockchain and Data, there is a very lively crowd of organisations, trainers and teachers that are helping Europeans grow in digital. The objective of the Awards is to showcase those good practices and help everyone learn from one another.
