Bridging the Digital Divide with DigiGap
DigiGap empowers students to become digital educators within their own families, fostering a unique role reversal where children teach their families essential digital skills. Through this innovative action plan, DigiGap aims to bridge the digital divide between students and their families, enabling them to navigate the modern world with confidence.
The project focuses on households where parents, grandparents, or other relatives face significant barriers due to age, limited socioeconomic opportunities, or lack of familiarity with digital tools and languages. These challenges often hinder their access to the labor market and broader social participation.
By promoting inclusive environments that support equity and equality, DigiGap works to enhance social and labor inclusion, creating opportunities for all family members to thrive in an increasingly digital society.
