Through geographic or thematic mapping and structured speed-dating, participants identify nearby institutions with complementary capacity and co-draft a concrete collaboration plan to take home.

  • Know which institutions near them are actively building digital skills training capacity and are open for collaboration. 
  • Have had a structured conversation with at least one potential hub or coding cafe partner institution. 
  • Have co-drafted a one-page formation plan with a proposed hub or cafe structure and a concrete next step. 
  • Feel part of a broader national community working toward sustainable, collaborative digital skills training. 
  • Be connected to both the DC4NES and coding cafe networks for follow-up coordination via RST-NL.
