Phase Two of the Framework was led by UNDP and focused on the execution of a Visioning Workshop, with an outcome report. UNESCO also supported Phase Two through the execution of three Youth, Media and Information Literacy Engagements.
The Visioning Workshop
This workshop was executed in November 2023 and brought together multi-sector participants from the UN DRA national stakeholder survey and workshop executed in June 2023. Additional stakeholder partners who were not present at the workshop in June 2023 were also in attendance to explore the results of the UN DRA report.
As an outcome, participants validated the results of the UN DRA report and extracted key priority areas of work. These stakeholder inputs were further consolidated to build consensus towards identifying the most critical components and to develop a national vision for the digital transformation framework.
The Visioning Workshop was a key engagement strategy that prioritized multi-stakeholder collaboration to inform the nation digital transformation journey of Antigua and Barbuda.
The Youth MIL Engagements
With appreciation for the foundational role of digital skills and media and information literacy (MIL), as a key enabler for effective participation in digital life, UNESCO believed it critical to promote these competencies in Phase Two of the digital transformation framework. Against this backdrop, in March and April 2024, UNESCO in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Antigua and Barbuda Secretary General for the UNESCO National Commission executed three engagements:
- A Digital skills webinar with the School for the Deaf
- An X-Spaces Discussion on Youth, MIL and Digital Transformation and
- A two-day hybrid workshop with youth organizations.
