The project in brief.
Why DigiKompakt.
Fewer than half of Slovenians aged 16 to 74 have at least basic digital skills. DIGIKOMPAKT 2024–2025 was a national project under the Ministry of Digital Transformation call for non-formal digital competence training for adults (JR DDK 2024–2025), funded by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund and by the Republic of Slovenia under the 2021–2027 cohesion policy.
Academia ran free 10-hour basic and advanced courses (two sessions of five school hours, groups of up to 15) for adult residents of Slovenia aged 30 and over: e-government, e-health, online banking and shopping, office tools and digital security at the basic level; advanced e-services, AI tools, cybersecurity and introductory programming at the advanced level. A Europass self-assessment placed participants in the right course. In 2024 alone more than 300 participants completed the courses.
