On 25β26 March 2025, SOS Europa took part in the SKILLS Call Beneficiaries Meeting for Mutual Learning in Bologna, an international gathering dedicated to social innovation, peer learning and European cooperation.
SOS Europa was represented by Mattia Di Tommaso, President of SOS Europa, and Eloisa Casadei, Project Manager. During the meeting, the W.E.B. in Tech initiative was presented to organisations and beneficiaries from across Europe.
The two-day programme created a space for peer learning, networking and thematic exchange among organisations working on social innovation and vulnerable youth. The programme also included study visits to local organisations and institutions in Bologna.
The programme included opportunities to engage with local actors such as Baumhaus Bologna, CEFAL Emilia-Romagna and the Municipality of Bologna, supporting the exchange of practices in education, inclusion and social innovation.
Why it mattered: participating in the Bologna Mutual Learning Event strengthened W.E.B. in Tech's connection with the European social innovation ecosystem, creating opportunities to exchange practices, build networks and position the project within a wider community working on skills, inclusion and women's empowerment.
The Third Sector is undergoing a profound transformation:
digitalisation is no longer an option, but a necessity
for organisations that want to strengthen inclusion, sustainability
and social impact.
Yet not every organisation has access to the same resources,
knowledge and digital capabilities.
Within W.E.B. in Tech β Women Engagement Boost in Technology,
we therefore launched a research process to understand which digital
skills are currently required in the Third Sector and where the most
significant skills gaps are emerging.
The research provides an evidence-based starting point for the W.E.B. in Tech learning pathway. By listening to organisations, professionals and stakeholders, the project can shape training around real labour-market and Third Sector needs.
Gather information directly from organisations, trainers, employers, public bodies and social actors.
Identify the skills and competences that are most required and those that are currently most missing.
Compare responses, detect patterns and highlight the most relevant digital and communication gaps.
Turn the findings into practical learning priorities for the W.E.B. in Tech training pathway.
The analysis explores the relationship between digitalisation, organisational needs and professional readiness. The findings help identify the areas where targeted training can generate the greatest added value.

An analysis dedicated to the digital competences required by Third Sector organisations and the gaps that should be addressed through targeted training.
The broader research document exploring skills needs, organisational perspectives and the changing role of digitalisation in the nonprofit ecosystem.
The findings of the Skill Gap Analysis are not intended to remain only in a report. They provide an evidence base for the development of the W.E.B. in Tech training programme, helping the partnership connect learning activities with the real skills needs of the Third Sector.
We invite
educators, trainers, employers, public institutions,
civil society organisations and interested citizens
to take a few minutes to complete our questionnaire.
Your contribution will help us map the skills that already
exist and identify those that are still missing.
The evidence collected will contribute to the development
of learning pathways that are
more inclusive, effective and connected to the real needs
of the Third Sector.
Help us understand which competences are already available and where the most important skills gaps remain.
Your contribution supports the development of meaningful, practical and inclusive training opportunities.
Share the needs of your organisation, territory or professional sector and contribute to evidence-based solutions.
Every response gives us a clearer picture of the digital
skills landscape and helps the W.E.B. in Tech partnership
understand the real needs of organisations and professionals.
Your experience can directly contribute to shaping
the project's training programme.
Explore the findings of our research on digital skills, emerging needs and skills gaps in the Third Sector. The full project deliverable is now available.

understand the challenges they face in everyday life
and employment, and identify their aspirations for
autonomy, learning and personal growth.
Listening today. Building opportunities for tomorrow.

the meeting provide practical input for designing
learning activities that are more accessible,
relevant and responsive to the realities of
young women and mothers with a migrant background.
W.E.B. in Tech aims to strengthen
ICT and communication skills
among young women and mothers with a migrant background,

move beyond assumptions and design activities around
real barriers, expectations and opportunities.

The discussion highlighted the importance of moving beyond analysis and developing operational tools capable of supporting migrant women and communities.
The focus group confirmed the need to transform the voices,
experiences and priorities collected into a
concrete, inclusive and accessible training pathway.
W.E.B. in Tech continues its participatory process,
connecting communities, professionals and organisations
to create new opportunities for people who are too often
left at the margins.
