About the workshop
Learn through experience
Digitalization is everywhere — in businesses, schools, government services, and our everyday lives. But what does digitalization actually mean? And how is it different from automation?
In this workshop, participants explore the fundamentals of digitalization and examine why companies adopt digital technologies. They learn what is meant by digital transformation and why data has become an increasingly important resource in the modern economy.
The workshop also explores how digitalization is changing everyday life, education, and the world of work. Participants consider both the opportunities and risks — from new possibilities and more efficient processes to changing professions and new demands on individuals and society.
The goal is not simply to recognize digital change, but to understand it, question it critically, and assess how it may affect our own future.
