The DIGIT4ALL program with the aim of “digital skills and computer equipment for all” is run in Cyprus by the Center For Social Innovation (CSI) through Erasmus+.
The pioneering This project, which started last September and has a duration of 24 months, aims to support people to acquire and develop basic digital skills by providing them with access to computers and digital education.
The main goal of the project is to increase integration in the workplace and society, while promoting the need for sustainable reuse of digital equipment. This will be achieved through several workshops that will offer participants guidance on how to access common digital tools and upgrade their digital literacy using open source software.
The project objective will be achieved by enhancing access to education and the qualifications of participants.
Objectives
The main target groups of the program are students, trainers, educational institutions and companies. The DIGIT4ALL project seeks to increase awareness of digital literacy and understanding of the need for cross-skills, develop future professional activity towards digital literacy and finally enhance sustainable employability and entrepreneurship based on innovative training and proactive action.
