This digital literacy project from the Community of Madrid has made its way there thanks to the innovation and team at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.

Agenda: #DigitalBridges. Towards inclusion and equality for the whole of society

by srcoke98 | Mar 26, 2026 | Sin categoría

In the digital age, the ability to use technology effectively has become essential for full participation in society.

Digital literacy not only opens the door to educational and employment opportunities, but is also key to accessing basic services and exercising one’s rights as a citizen. For the most vulnerable groups, who are often left behind by technological progress, digital literacy is a powerful tool for overcoming barriers and reducing inequalities.

On 16 July, Espacio Fundación Telefónica will host a live programme focusing precisely on this crucial issue, featuring the director of #TEDECO and principal investigator of #RETOMadrID, Susana Hernández Muñoz, alongside Óscar Espíritusanto, a journalist, researcher and university lecturer, founder of periodismociudadano.com and Director of the Department of Educational Innovation and Research at Cibervoluntarios, and Carlos Palacios, Global Head of Social Action and Volunteering at the Fundación Telefónica.
