Barcelona Activa has been present in the 2022 edition of the Eurocities awards through the IT Academy. The agency’s IT training programme has been nominated and recognised as a finalist in the ‘Act together: skills and competencies for the Future’ category. The jury praised the work done to boost the digital transformation in Barcelona and minimise the digital divide. 

The nomination recognises the project for the task of providing the citizens of Barcelona with the skills necessary to keep up to date with new technological challenges. So far, IT Academy has already trained more than a thousand students and registrations for the next courses are non-stop, you can sign up at this link.

In addition to the Barcelona Activa project, the Eurocities awards have recognised the following projects in the various categories:

  • Donostia Innovation Challenge (Sant Sebastià – Basque Country): space aimed at young people to boost innovative solutions that improve the city and society.

  • ReDI School: (Munich - Germany): non-profit coding school, aimed at amateurs interested in the technology and digital sector.

  • Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble - France): promotion of a new mixed-use district consisting of social housing and for students, research centres and public spaces.

At Barcelona Activa we work to support the city’s citizens, in areas such as job search and entrepreneurship, but also in the training and fostering of digital talent. With this in mind, the project IT Academy has been promoted, a space where specialised online and onsite training is provided, related to the digital and technological sector. There are training itineraries for all citizens: programming courses, upskilling, front end, data science, and back end are examples.
