December 12 2009: 25 Years of FBVI-FAIB

Selected activities

  • 20 years of CEPIS. On 20/11/09 CEPIS is celebrating its 20th birthday, with an event on "IT-Professionalism in EU-context". For this reason, the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee are holding a European e-Skills conference 2009 on fostering ICT professionalism.
  • e-Skills for the 21st century. The European Commission adopted on 7 September 2007 a Communication on "e-Skills for the 21st Century: Fostering Competitiveness, Growth and Jobs", presenting a long term e-skills agenda and including five major action lines at EU level. The communication on e-Skills can be downloaded here.
  • FBVI signs the memorandum of agreement on digital literacy. De digitale kloof is een breed fenomeen dat alle lagen van de bevolking treft. Heel wat kansengroepen (gehandicapten, senioren, laaggeschoolden, kansarmen,...) vallen uit de boot omdat ze niet over de materiële middelen en/of vaardigheden beschikken om te kunnen omgaan met multimedia. Nochtans zou dit de zelfredzaamheid en maatschappelijke participatie van die kansengroepen net sterk kunnen verhogen.
    Om die emancipatiebeweging te ondersteunen is er hulp nodig van de overheid. Een coherente beleidsvisie over het fenomeen digitale kloof en een structurele ondersteuning van ICT-initiatieven is noodzakelijk. Met het Memorandum presenteert het Vlaams Steunpunt Nieuwe Geletterdheid de aanbelevingen van het werkveld - een waaier aan digitalekloofinitiatieven - aan de nieuwe regering. U kunt het memorandum zelf lezen en ondertekenen op deze pagina. 
  • The governments of Netherlands and Belgium are planning to work together to stimulate ICT skills, following a meeting between their ministers.
