    Our goals

    In today’s rapidly changing world, digital competence is more than a nice-to-have, it’s essential. Social Economy Support Organizations (SESOs) and Social Enterprises (SEs) are at the heart of community innovation and impact, but many face challenges when it comes to adopting and applying digital tools effectively.

    That’s where the DiGi-SEII Training Program and Capacity Building comes in.

    This innovative program aims to support you to boost operations and innovation. It combines AI-powered assessments, e-learning, live online sessions, in-person workshops, mentoring, and peer learning opportunities to provide a comprehensive and tailored approach to digital skills development.

     
    The training modules will explore key areas, such as:
    • AI for everyday efficiency, CRM systems and ensuring cybersecurity 
    • Digital fundraising and revenue models, digital marketing and visibility
    • Applying inclusive digital design to make services accessible for all
    • Adopting green digital practices to enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

    And much more! This is your chance to boost your digital skills to increase your economic and impact performance, and connect with other changemakers.

    - Strengthen digital competences essential for today’s work.
