Get Online Week 2012 is a campaign organised by Telecentre-Europe between 26 and 30 March 2012, supported by the European Commission and a number of international organisations.

3 - Description:

Get online week 2012 will bring together Telecentres in at least 50 countries across and beyond Europe to support at least 200 000 people in their online journeys. This year the Telecentre networks involved will use new learning products that will support the themes like:

intergenerational learning,
youth employability,
active aging,
civic participation
social engagement.

In 2011, 112 000 people were reached by the campaign in which Neelie Kroes, the European Commission Vice President and Commissioner Responsible for the Digital Agenda, hailed Telecentre staff as 'heroes' in their work to help people get online and gain confidence in using computers and the internet.
