This is a big challenge for all towns and villages, and in particular for the Community of Madrid, to provide digital skills to all its residents.
We want you to be a TRANSFORMATIVE TOWN, a DIGITAL example for your neighbors and community. Are you ready to join us in RETOMadrID?
Who is this initiative for?
We target adults over 18 living in rural areas of Madrid, including women in vulnerable situations, unemployed individuals, older adults, ethnic and cultural minorities, and citizens without computer skills who are affected by social digital exclusion.
Who can participate in the training?
The initiative aims to reach all municipalities in the Community of Madrid. In each one, we engage with organizations, senior centers, educational institutions, rehabilitation centers, and libraries, among other spaces that bring together the groups we work with.
At these centers, a Digital Inclusion Point can be set up, allowing anyone who needs it to receive training in basic computer skills from scratch and at their own pace.
