Workshops

Workshop in Greece

Short report:

The main outcome of this workshop is that technology and ICT need to be regarded as social and soft skills, not only technological ones. Thus, a change in how we approach technology, use and even our relationship with it, needs to be deconstructed and re-purposed. Greek businesses must change how they conduct business and start integrating new technologies to stay competitive and relevant. 

It is imperative to understand the new technological changes that will be present in our lives in the next 10-20 years. AI has already greatly impacted our work, and the ChatGPT was only introduced in November 2022. 

Upgrading and reskilling digital literacy is imperative to promote and integrate in formal and informal educational settings.
