What applications and techniques have made it possible to participate in a digitalized society so far? Best practices from around the world will illustrate this. In this session also a short review of the past three days and an extensive view of the future is given. What still has to be done? How should we, governments, IT-industry and other stakeholders, deal with this digitalizing society? Since transfer of knowledge doesn't only take place from grown-ups to youngsters but also the other way around, especially where digital skills are concerned, international students are asked to give their observations and comments on how eInclusion should and could be addressed worldwide. Moreover, the track eInclusion, together with its partners, calls on the world to involve more young people in policymaking, product development, etc. during a festive ceremony.
