The document outlines a meeting agenda for the digital skills road map working group, including introductions, goal-setting, and various activities focused on defining digital skills and inventorying goals. The ultimate aim is to create a digital skills 'road map' that sequences skills and attaches them to specific learner goals. Emphasis is placed on respect, open brainstorming, and potential follow-up meetings to refine the roadmap further.
