The Digital Skills Congress celebrated its fourth edition with the presence of more than 500 attendees at Cibernàrium 22@. The event was organised in hybrid format under the heading "Digital autonomy throughout life".

The aim of the Congress focused on overcoming and eradicating the digital gaps that create social inequality, emphasising the need for everyone to adopt tools and knowledge to be able to live and work independently in a society that is increasingly technologically demanding.

The event counted on the participation of experts in the digital field. It included different methodological and technological virtual workshops, on prevention and training in childhood and adolescence, on how to tackle technological inequalities or on ICT and health, among others. The study Estudi sobre benestar digital (Study about digital welfare) was also presented, which focuses on the inclusion and fostering of critical thinking in relation to any technological issue.

In addition, the executive director of Strategic Sectors and Talent of Barcelona Activa, Sara Díaz Roig, highlighted the progressive importance of digital skills for companies, noting that one in four job offers are already digital, according to the report Digital Talent Overview.

Beyond organising and hosting the congress, the Cibernàrium offers a wide range of training proposals to help improve the citizens' technological training and job skills.

The congress was promoted by Barcelona Activa together with the Department of Business and Work of the Generalitat, the Open University of Catalonia and Blanquerna - Universitat Ramon Llull and with the support of Eurecat.
