Geef input aan de Europese digitale agenda (#in)

Elmine Wijnia vroeg mij om op het onderstaande vanuit het onderwijsperspectief te reageren. Wellicht willen jullie dit ook doen? Graag binnen twee weken.

You may have heard about Europe's Digital Agenda. It is European Union's road map for bringing the benefits of a digital society and economy to Europe's citizens. On June 16/17 there will be a first Assembly, during which they will involve all stakeholders in assessing problems and identifying solutions. (more on the DAA)

For the European Commission, Ton (Zijlstra WR) and I are looking for people's stories on how people contribute to the Digital Agenda and what they need to achieve greater impact.

We're looking for as many 1 minute video stories as we can find (a minimum of 50!) and we only have 2 weeks to get them. That's why really need your help! Because we would like you (or people close to you) to have a voice in such a large European event like this (which is very uncommon!).

To give you an idea what the Digital Agenda covers, you can browse through the lists of actions on each of the 8 big themes of the Digital Agenda (they're called pillars):

– Digital Single Market
– Interoperability and Standards
– Trust and Security
– Very Fast Internet
– Research and Innovation
– Enhancing e-skills
– ICT for Social Challenges
– International

You may have a story to share on this yourself. Then go grab a (web)cam and tell it in 60 seconds, upload it to your Youtube-account and fill out this form.

Perhaps you know colleagues or friends involved in the topics covered by the Digital Agenda, then forward this message or put them in front of a camera and (let them) upload it to Youtube and fill out this form.

(More details on this video competition (top 10 rated will be shown at the Assembly itself))

Below is the official announcement by the Commission with all the proper links where you can view other contributions, post a video and more information about the Assembly itself. I would really appreciate it if you could contribute something and/or forward this message to people you know who can't wait to be heard 🙂

Thanks for your effort!

All the best,
Elmine
