Soft DIGITal Skills building for TCN women
The pandemic has created a new reality for all EU citizens, forcing many employees to work remotely from home. Within this context, it’s important to pay attention to what happens with the non-skilled workers and especially those who do not even have the basic language and other soft skills that would allow them to first survive and then give them the possibility of quality living as all other citizens. Internet non-users are at particular risk of social isolation, due to their digital exclusion. Migrants also face additional barriers to digital inclusion, due to relying on others to translate the websites of service providers and social media platforms to their native languages. While the pandemic has prompted more innovative approaches to service delivery, digital inclusion is of paramount importance.
The Project Objectives
- Improve national and transnational understanding of the digital inclusion needs of TCN women in the EU.
- Develop practical tools and collect useful resources in terms of digital inclusion of women with migrant – refugee background.
- Improve the capacity of professionals and stakeholder that have direct access to TCN women on how to develop their digital skills and ultimately empower them.
- Increase awareness among professionals, relevant stakeholders and the general public regarding the digital inclusion needs of TCN women.
