Our representative presented CONNECT’s unique approach to soft digital skills in the framework of the EU Digital Agenda and Digat Decade. The special focus of our participation in the Forum was placed on promoting digital citizenship, e-volunteering, and skills to combat digital violence and support the mental health of young people in the digital age.
