The #RETOMadrID team is visiting local authorities in the Community of Madrid that are interested in training their residents in basic digital skills using Digital Inclusion Points and the #TechPeopleCare methodology.

This innovative methodology, developed at the UPM by the Technology for Development and Cooperation group #TEDECO, has 13 years of experience in various projects across Africa, Latin America and Europe.

Here, Susana Muñoz Hernández, one of its co-founders and director of #RETOMadrID, tells us all about it.

We want to reach every corner of the community. If you’d like your centre to benefit from this project run by the Community of Madrid, please write to us or register here.

A project run by the Community of Madrid in collaboration with the Polytechnic University and funded by the EU’s Next Generation Funds.

The #RETOMadrID Digital Inclusion Hub is now up and running at the Villa del Prado Municipal Library, with the help of Carmen, the librarian, so that local residents can learn how to use a computer from scratch.

A project by @comunidadmadrid in partnership with @somosupm that aims to train those with fewer digital skills to become self-sufficient and equipped to navigate an increasingly digital world. Let’s make sure no one is left behind!

If you’re interested in this course for your school or local council, please enter your contact details here and we’ll call you shortly.
