New event series:
Online seminars on teaching digital-era government
We are excited to announce a new series of online seminars where educators from around the world will share their experiences of using our open-access syllabus to help them teach the skills public servants need in the digital age.
In these regular one-hour online sessions, professors of public administration, public policy and digital-era government will share their experiences of teaching tomorrow’s public servants crucial digital-era skills. This will be an opportunity to learn about and discuss the best ways to equip future public servants with appropriate digital competencies and how to adopt the TPSDA syllabus to your own classroom setting.
