Zoom Qualification – Online Training for Democracy Education
As part of our ongoing efforts to support digital tools in democratic education in the frame of the project “fit4democracy”, a two Zoom qualification sessions were held on April 1 and April 4, 2025. The online training welcomed participants from various countries and aimed to strengthen their confidence in using Zoom for inclusive, participatory events. The sessions covered both basic and advanced features of Zoom. Participants explored core functions such as managing audio and video, adjusting views, and using the “raise hand” feature to engage more actively in discussions. Building on this foundation, the training introduced additional tools like whiteboards for collaborative work, polls for gathering opinions, and breakout rooms for small group exchanges—ideal for interactive formats in democracy-related workshops. A special focus was placed on Zoom’s integrated interpretation function, which enables multilingual events and supports accessibility across language barriers. The training also provided time for participants to ask questions and share experiences, ensuring the content was tailored to their needs.
