The 12th International Stakeholder Conference of the Danube Region Strategy took place in Vienna on May 23, 2024. The Austrian Labor Minister, Martin Kocher, opened the Conference under the working title “Green and Digital Transition in Education and Labor Market Policies”. Around 100 stakeholders from the field of labor and education discussed current challenges and opportunities.
The European Office presented its EU funded project “DigiMe – Digital and media competence for teachers and students” in the “Digital Skills” working group. The aim of the cross-border project from 2019 was to prepare teachers as good as possible for the requirements of future careers, with girls in particular getting excited about making and robotics. During several workshops, teachers were given the necessary tools to impart the required digital skills and programming knowledge to their students.

In exciting exchanges with educational institutions from Ukraine, Poland and Hungary, everyone agreed: Digital skills can and should be integrated into every subject and cannot be learned early enough!
