Symposium on Digital

The digital symposium organized by l'ONG Jade, on July 20, 2019 had as its main objective to strengthen the capacities of IT sector stakeholders in Toamasina, a city in eastern Madagascar. The main theme of this gathering was Digital Marketing and web work, but other topics were also addressed, such as SEO, graphic design, multimedia and digital marketing. The day ended with the presentation of Gasseo, a platform launched by Toni Großmann to help IT-loving young people in Toamasina embark on a digital services outsourcing project.

The symposium was followed by four training sessions, also organized by ONG Jade, which covered the same topics as the symposium. A total of 57 people registered for the training sessions, with only one dropout. Of the 57 people registered, 27 Gasseo members took part in the training sessions. The sessions were led by local speakers, and some traveled from the capital to share their experiences. The entire Jade team, along with the speakers, were then invited to a meal offered by the organization.

In total, 89 people were registered on the symposium's attendance list, and the results of the whole project were satisfactory for ONG Jade. The launch of the Gasseo platform was a success, and the training sessions helped strengthen the capacities of IT sector stakeholders. Furthermore, this event contributed to the development of the IT sector in Toamasina and strengthened ONG Jade's image as a key player in this sector in the city.
