Next Monday, January 19, the Punt TIC Network will launch a new edition of the Winter Campus. Once again, the initiative will be designed to work on digital skills, learn about new tools and discover new resources. Specifically, the online training actions will be aimed at the people who are the driving forces of the Punt TIC Network and will have personalized support from the Technical and Driving Office.

Therefore, this January, three training proposals will be promoted around community radio, digital protection and digital momentum. Firstly, the course 'Community Radio: Let's Turn on the Microphones' , lasting six hours and with the support of La Traginera, will detail the creation of an accessible radio program open to citizens. Among the contents will be the development of a podcast in all its phases: ideation, recording, editing and dissemination, the use of radio as an educational and community tool and the identification of prescribers and references. Secondly, the course 'Digital Protection: Let's Avoid Fraud, Scams and Manipulations' , lasting six hours and with the support of the Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia, will disseminate information on essential issues around security within the digital world. Among the contents, there will be the discovery of procedures and systems for the identification of digital risks, the determination of prevention and protection measures and knowledge of the action protocol in the event of having suffered a cybersecurity problem. Thirdly, the course 'Digital impulse: we work on professional development and the creation of opportunities' , a training developed by the UOC Rural Digital, will address basic digital skills to empower people. Among the contents, there will be the dissemination of digital tools to improve professional careers, the optimization of professional development with artificial intelligence and the approach to new professional opportunities. Exceptionally, the course 'Digital impulse: we work on professional development and the creation of opportunities' will be aimed exclusively at people registered in municipalities with a population equal to or less than 5,000 inhabitants, people registered in municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants provided that they reside in smaller local entities or singular or analogous entities (districts, parishes, rural neighborhoods, councils, villages, hamlets or similar) and people registered in municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants who reside in dispersed population centers of up to 5,000 inhabitants.

The courses will be offered in asynchronous format through the network's virtual platform. The three training proposals will remain open from Monday, January 19, until Friday, January 30. In this sense, interested people will be able to register even if they have started until the places available for each course are exhausted. The training pace will be completely autonomous with the aim of encouraging the participation of the maximum number of people. Each training will work on different digital skills according to the DigComp 2.2 framework. The assessment of the achievement of the training objectives will be based on participation, individual work and tutored activities. Finally, once the training proposal has been passed, the participants will obtain badges that will certify the digital skills achieved according to the DigComp 2.2 framework. Exceptionally, the new edition of the Winter Campus of the Punt TIC Network offers the possibility of taking one of the training proposals developed by the UOC Rural Digital. The Punt TIC Network recommends the course 'Digital impulse: we work on professional development and the creation of opportunities' due to its suitability for the profile of the dynamic person, but the Punt TIC Network also has seven other training proposals available. In all these cases, the courses will be developed through the UOC Rural Digital virtual platform. In order to formalize the collaboration, it will be necessary to register through the Punt TIC Network form and then fill out a second UOC Rural Digital form.
