And we couldn’t miss this moment.

Our coordinator Sergio has gone along to support the first participants on the course at the Venturada Coworking Space. One of the project leaders there, Cristina, tells us how important this course is in enabling anyone who needs it to learn how to use a computer from scratch.

We’ve posted the Venturada facilitator’s testimonial on our Instagram profile, and we invite you to follow the project on social media too, so you don’t miss out…

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.
