Youthspark program and carried out via the cooperation of: The American
College of Greece (Deree College), the ALBA Graduate Business School and 13

The motto of Getbusy.gr is “unleash your potential” and achieves that by giving
free access to educational material, divided into four categories. The
informational and educational material of Gebusy.gr largely meets the priorities
set by the EU on the digital skills. It also contributes simultaneously to two basic
problems: the digital divide and the opportunity divide.
