Digital Skills and Tools for Universal Professional Requalification: this is the challenge launched by Social Policy Councillorship of the Metropolitan City of Messina for the fourth Civic Challenge promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Facebook Italia, after those held in Rome, Rovigo and Brindisi.
The Covid-19 health emergency is increasing inequalities and the digital divide. How can this process be brought to a halt to increase employment, professional requalification and the social inclusion of all citizens, especially the most fragile?
On Thursday, January 27, these issues will be addressed by local actors to identify innovative solutions capable of providing new opportunities and developing digital knowledge and skills, promoting personal and professional life projects, for full participation in the working world.
The first part of the event will be a plenary session that will be streamed live on Binario F’s Facebook Channel (3:00-5:30). From 4:00 to 5:30, there will be a work group meeting for third sector agencies, governmental institutions and local actors interested in inclusion and social sustainability.

Six challenges in six Italian municipalities to co-develop local digital transformation and the post-pandemic recovery of the social and productive systems. The challenges launched by the public administrations will be faced by public and private agencies, third sector organisations and citizens through co-development sessions to identify priorities, innovative ideas and drive civic participation. Upon completion of six challenges, a summary document will illustrate the proposals advanced by local actors to drive a participated and collective vision for the recovery of the entire country.
