JOIN The WeNet Online Course

Diversity is part of our everyday life. Technology, despite its evolution, still struggles when it comes to helping develop and maintain social relationships that transcend geographical and cultural backgrounds. WeNet addresses this gap by providing a diversity-aware, machine-mediated paradigm for social interactions. WeNet platform and its ecosystem allow to get insights on these topics through the WeNet Online Course.
The course is designed as a self-paced online course, free and open to anyone, to give the opportunity to participants to study at the time and place that better suit their personal needs. Moreover, the course offers the opportunity to get badges and a certificate at the end of the course upon successful completion of the assessment activities.
