🚀 Join us for the 3rd meeting of the Education & Capacity-Building WG! How can municipalities assess and address digital skills gaps to ensure effective digital transformation? While digital tools are reshaping the public sector, training often focuses on individual tools rather than systemic change—widening the gap between designers and end-users. 🌍 This session introduces a training framework that fosters a systems view, bridging this divide. We’re excited to welcome K8 Institut für strategische Ästhetik gGmbH, who will present their "triple loop learning" approach—a playbook for designing learning experiences on #ethics, #governance, and #technology. 📅 When? Wednesday, 26 February, 10:00 CET  💻 Where? Online (Microsoft Teams)  🔗 Register now: https://shorturl.at/iXRT0 #DigitalTransformation #JoinBoostSustain #LivingInEU
