The „BE-ONLINE“ project aims to enhance digital literacy and competencies among digitally excluded groups in the Trnava region by focusing on both quantitative and qualitative objectives. Our project will provide basic to advanced digital skills training through workshops and online courses, covering essential topics like internet safety, using digital devices, and accessing online services. In the project, we will work with economically disadvantaged groups in order to ensure equal access to technology for everyone. Our project also aims to encourage personal and social development by promoting the use of digital tools for educational resources, job searches, and online communication, thereby fostering social inclusion.We will strengthen community engagement by partnering with local schools, libraries and community organisations and hosting workshops highlighting the benefits of digital literacy. Finally, our project will develop strategies for sustainability and explore opportunities to expand to other regions based on its success in the Trnava region. By addressing these areas, the „BE-ONLINE“ project aims to close the digital divide and foster greater digital inclusion and empowerment among the target groups in the Trnava region.
