In addition, employees\u2019 children \u2013 the so-called MiniMes \u2013 joined the volunteers in delivering lessons, either in their own schools, in Accenture offices or in schools in vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Digital Skills Academy shows us how essential digital education is for our young people. In each session, from basic computer components to new modules on artificial intelligence and deepfakes, we see how children become familiar with the technology that will shape their future. Moreover, the digitalization of schools and the involvement of our MiniMes bring a practical and inspirational touch, demonstrating that innovation can be accessible and relevant to every student,\u201d said Aliona Hlusov, the initiator and coordinator of the Digital Skills Academy program at Accenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the Digital Skills Academy Olympiad, children developed over 100 projects under the theme \u201cGood Ideas for My Community.\u201d The winning projects will be presented to local authorities or school principals and can be transformed into real initiatives, with the support of Accenture and partner NGOs. For participating in the program, all students were rewarded with diplomas, school bags and badges, and the winners of the Olympiad received trophies and medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn vulnerable schools, digital skills are a necessity and this has been demonstrated to us since 5 years ago, when we started the partnership with Accenture Romania. Through the Digital Skills Academy project, students from Teach for Romania communities had the opportunity to learn from specialists how to be safe online, how to recognize fake news or fraud attempts, but also how to use technology with meaning and confidence. Because quality digital education can change destinies,\u201d said Mara Niculescu, Communication and Advocacy Director, Teach for Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program also included students from Roma communities, through collaboration with Roma Education Fund Romania, contributing to expanding access to digital education for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTeaching the Digital Skills Academy courses to Roma children at Beica de Jos Middle School was a joyful experience. From shyness to enthusiasm, the children explored technology with great curiosity. Each lesson became an adventure,\u201d says M\u0103d\u0103lina Drujit, Accenture volunteer, Timi\u0219oara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI taught the lessons about Artificial Intelligence and internet safety with my two children. The students at Liviu Rebreanu schools in Cluj-Napoca and Gheorghe \u0218incai in Flore\u0219ti were fascinated. Some said: \u2018How good it would be if these lessons were in the school curriculum!\u2019\u201d adds Irina Ungurean, Accenture volunteer, Cluj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accenture plans to continue the program next year, with the aim of reaching even more schools and providing access to digital education in communities where it is still limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since its launch in 2020, the Digital Skills Academy program has reached over 5,000 students from 250 schools in Romania, through the exceptional involvement of 494 Accenture volunteers and the two partner NGOs – Teach for Romania and Roma Education Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Accenture, a global professional services company, has concluded the 5th edition of the Digital Skills Academy program, held between January and June 2025, with the support of Teach for Romania and Roma Education Fund Romania.
