Tunis e-Skills report

"e-Skills society is guarantee against exclusion" says EU-Commissioner Reding at WSIS

« Une société dotée d'e-compétences est une garantie contre l'exclusion » souligne le Commissaire européen Viviane Reding lors du Sommet Mondial sur la Société de l'Information (SMSI)

The World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) hosted an e-Skills Capacity Building Symposium in Tunis on 16 November 2005. This high-level event has been organised by the eSCC, in cooperation with the European Commission. The symposium stressed the key importance of ICT skills of users for bridging the digital divide. This aspect is often overlooked in the debate on capacity-building, focusing exclusively on ICT infrastructure. The symposium therefore explored how e-skills capacity-building can be enhanced by industry cooperating with governments and civil society in the field of education.
