On Tuesday 20 June 2023, the Luxembourg Minister Delegate for Digitalisation, Marc Hansen, and the representatives of the ASBL ErwuesseBildung, Pit Peporté and Ulrike Kohl, signed an agreement for the year 2023 relating to training in digital skills for adults.

This agreement followed the collaboration initiated in 2021 and continued in 2022.

Associations working in the social field will therefore be able to continue to benefit free of charge from the “training for trainers in digital skills” offered by the non-profit organisation ErwuesseBildung, and thus expand the network of people authorised to provide this training.

In 2021, 51 participants followed the courses offered by the non-profit organisation ErwuesseBildung and the training was made available to nine other organisations. In 2022, 77 people participated in these trainings and twelve trainers registered for the “Train the Trainers” training. In addition, over a hundred people took part in the “smartphone-cafés” organised by the non-profit organisation ErwuesseBildung and GoldenMe.

From 2023, a series of new training courses will complete the offer of the non-profit organisation:

  • a “basic use of a smartphone” training;
  • an “advanced use of a smartphone” training;
  • a modular concept for the courses "Internetführerschein 1.0" and "Internetführerschein 2.0"(internet driving licence) in order to provide conceptual support for IT trainers, so that relatively large courses will also be divided into shorter modules;
  • an online tutorial for trainers for the various modules of the “Internetführerschein 1.0” and “Internetführerschein 2.0” courses;
  • a revised “Train the Trainers” course, complete with an online download area for course materials;
  • ​“Up-to-date workshop” training, as preparation for digital device updates.

The entire course offer will be available on the website of the non-profit organisation ErwuesseBildung in a dedicated area where the course material can be downloaded in the future.

Organisations wishing to use the educational content free of charge or wishing to register for the training offered for trainers can contact the non-profit organisation ErwuesseBildung directly. More information on this subject is available on https://ewb.lu/.
