This first webinar that took place on Friday 27 November 2020 is part of trilogy. It focused on digital skills and tools to enhance the CREATION process. The other two to be organised during the 1st semester of 2021 will be dedicated to the PRODUCTION and DISTRIBUTION processes.
Technology is just a means to an end. We gave the floor to five professionals, pioneers in their field. We discovered through their ‘real life’ experience and insights how they acquired their digital skills and put them into practice. The goal was to inspire participants to start experimenting and learning new SMART skills. Let’s stop talking let’s start walking.
