Fijn ook een Belg te mogen begroeten in het netwerk.
Ik ben coördinator bij ATEL vzw, een organisatie in Antwerpen die zich enerzijds bezighoudt met beroepsopleidingen en anderzijds met de digitale kloof in Antwerpen. Misschien moeten we elkaar eens contacteren. Ik ben bereikbaar op 03/641.08.50 (ATEL algemeen nummer)
met vriendelijke groet,
Kirsten Dewaelheyns
