Yes! We’ve been carrying over certificates ceremonies… And We cannot be more excited to see what’s all happening at every center! This time, We are moving to Colmenar de Oreja, precisely to RESCOFOIL Occupational Center, it belongs to the Attention for Adults with physical, intellectual or sensory disabilities network of the Community of Madrid.
Last Wednesday, 18, We set up a closing ceremony of RETOMadrID basic digital literacy training. Out of 34 participants, 27 finished up the training pulling through the first encounter with technology. They made it through Digital Inclusion Points (DIPs) with high praise collaboration.
Some testimonies speak for themselves; a person with hearing loss started out communicating with his colleagues using a keyboard; another who didn’t have smartphone asked for a tablet after finding out he could use it for communicating with his family. This insights show us how technology when adapted and followed it along becomes a trully inclusive, self-esteem and social interaction tool.
All of this, it has been possible thanks also to Montse, facilitator of the Center whose dedication and awareness have been crucial to adapt the project to the rythm and the necessities of the team. Her role has been key for this susccesful experience.
The awards ceremony was attended by center’s user base, center’s staff, Montse (facilitator), Raúl (Center’s director), Irene Guerrero (RETOMadrID’s manager) and Alejandro Ortiz (supervisor), who expressed their gratituted for the center’s active participation and commitment to breaking down barriers to digital transformation.
RETOMadrID keeps demonstrating that bringing near technology to people not only gives new oportunities, it also changes lifes.
