The project aims at educating citizens and help them embrace new technologies and digital skills. Dr Dimitris Dranidis, Head of the Computer Science Department also joined our student-volunteers at the Thessaloniki International Fair.
The project’s scope is to familiarise with new technologies people of all ages (including vulnerable groups), who have insufficient digital competences, and help them develop and embrace digital skills. Students from all four academic departments of CITY College Europe Campus will participate as volunteers in this initiative. Student-volunteers will act as knowledge ambassadors and will teach citizens who will participate in the project the possibilities of the digital world. In the context of the project, CITY College Europe Campus is represented by its Computer Science Department that acts as project coordinator.
