List All The Events
In 2020, we have three national partners in the UK: Good Things Foundation, Prodigy Learning, and UpSkill Digital. Read about their activities below:
Good Things Foundation has been involved in the campaign since its very beginning. The campaign itself was inspired by their Get Online Week run in the UK by the Foundation and their Online Centres Network.
Good Things Foundation is proud to support ALL DIGITAL Week and encourage their community network of 4,000 Online Centres to represent the UK in a Europe-wide digital inclusion movement.
With more than 11.9 million people in the UK alone still without all the digital skills they need to make the most of the internet, campaigns like ALL DIGITAL Week – and the Good Things-managed Get Online Week – can play a vital role in reaching those in need.
The UK’s leading digital inclusion charity will be shouting about the importance of ALL DIGITAL Week to all their audiences through email and social media channels. Additionally, they’ll be sharing stories of people who have seen the benefit that improved digital skills can have, thanks to work Good Things Foundation has in communities across the country.
They’ll also be encouraging their 4,000 centres to deliver events during the week and register them as part of the ALL DIGITAL Week campaign. There are thousands of Online Centres around the UK, covering the most deprived areas of the country. Centres range from libraries to community centres, learning services to GP practices, and churches to social housing providers. One thing they all have in common is that they’re all working hard to tackle digital and social exclusion by providing people with the skills and confidence they need. A friendly face, a hot drink and non-judgemental support are available when you walk through the door at any Online Centre.
In 2019, Good Things Foundation held their 13th Get Online Week campaign in the UK and the 2nd campaign in Australia. Over 1,100 organisations registered as a Get Online Week event holders and held 3,967 events in the UK alone. They will be reengaging with organisations who took part in Get Online Week last year, and up to over 28,000 could be reached by the campaign in the UK.

Increasing employability with future-ready Microsoft Digital Skills Certifications
Prodigy Learning will run a campaign, which involves close to 100 Testing Centres across the UK & Ireland.
Prodigy Learning is an All Digital Week partner for the second time; in 2019 they were the Irish National partner, and this year they expand the activities to the UK as well. Prodigy Learning is a multi-award winning global EdTech business providing digital skills certifications and learning solutions for Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft and other technologies.

Prodigy was established in 2000 and now has offices in Dublin, Ireland, London, UK, Sydney, Australia and New York, USA.
Building on success from 2019, testing centres across the UK & Ireland will open and run Test Fest’s across ALL DIGITAL WEEK, where they open up their testing lab and offer hundreds of Microsoft Certification Exams to all learners. Microsoft Certification equips learners with proof of job-ready skills, allowing them to stand out to prospective employers and increase employability.
Running a day/week of Test Fests gives students the opportunity to test their digital skills and earn globally, industry-recognised certification from Microsoft to add to their CV’s and LinkedIn profiles. Testing Centres taking part include Schools, Colleges, Universities in Higher and Further Education.
Prodigy plans to involve 2,000 people in campaign activities.
