📢 2023 Report on the state of the Digital Decade

The first State of the Digital Decade report has been published, taking stock of the EU’s progress towards a successful digital transformation as set out in the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030. The report highlights the need to accelerate Member States' efforts, including through policy measures and investment in digital technologies, skills, and infrastructures.

Increasing digital skills in the population is one of the biggest challenges of the EU. According to a Eurobarometer survey, Almost one third of Europeans do not feel appropriately equipped for the Digital Decade and think that supporting more education and training in digital skills should be among the top five digital priorities in their country.

Our project ONE has collected good practices in developing transversal skills, including digital skills, in adults in Italy, Portugal and Slovakia and in the Nordic countries. Learn more at:

September was quite busy in the ONE partnership. Apart from piloting national activities in each country, project partners and peers met in Bratislava, Slovakia for the second Peer Learning Activity. They visited two adult learning organisations The Bridge - English Language Centre and Národné osvetové centrum, learnt about the Slovak experience with the Peer Review methodology from Štátny inštitút odborného vzdelávania and in lively discussions they expressed their views on how the project contributed so far to quality assurance in their home institutions and countries.
As a side event the project team participated in the opening conference of the Lifelong Learning Week in Slovakia organised by the Slovak partner AIVD and supported the Finnish partner Anni Karttunen in presenting the ONE project to the Slovak audience.
