RETOMadrID ready at Villalbilla

At @villalbillatownhall, Digital Inclusion Points are already available to people who may be interested in learning how to use a computer in approximately 8 hours, at their own pace and using #techpeoplecare methodology.

At Hogar Raíces, three retirement homes have been set up with required hardware so they can begin the #RETOMadrID course and gain basic knowledge of how to use a computer. 

If you would like this @comunidadmadrid and @somosupm project funded by #nexgenerationEU#planderecuperacion@miteco.gob, to happen to be in your centre, please write us or sign up in our web and we will get in contact with you as soon as possible. Public or private centres in municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants can participate.

Digital literacy for the population of Griñón

The best of this project is that our digital literacy course make sure no one is left out. Seeing their reactions as they learn how to develop in what was, up to now, a hostile environment is really fulfilling.

This is what we can see in the image, with our local coordinator Alenjandro, who is explaining how #RETOMadrID works at a Digital Inclusion Point at Jesús del Buen Amor de Griñón retirement home.

Basic knowledge that, although it may seem simple, is not accessible to everyone due to different circumstances. Thanks to this free project funded by #NextGenerationEU it becomes accessible to all and can be completed in just 8 hours.

If you would like this project of @comunidadmadrid and @somosupm funded by #nexgenerationEU#planderecuperacion@miteco.gob to happen in your centre write us or sign up in our web and we will get in contact with you as soon as possible.
