Among the specific objectives there is also that of working on the empowerment of foreign women through interventions aimed at the realization of women through digital skills.

What are the expected results?

The project has as its ultimate goal the promotion of the values of equality and equal opportunities, as the living conditions of the so-called "offline" population are becoming increasingly difficult due to the predominant role that digital has taken on in accessing public services and private individuals (including welfare), in training and access to work.
The lack of digital skills and access to technologies is in fact creating an evident imbalance that affects all aspects of a person's daily life, leading in the most extreme cases to a forced renunciation of some of the fundamental rights of citizens, such as access to subsidies and other public services, but also the right to work itself.

How does your idea strengthen active citizenship at a local and community level?

The collaboration with the Youth Office - Education, Education and New Generations Area of Bologna will allow to better calibrate the action aimed at schools and socio-educational centers, as well as to activate paths also for young Neet. The comparison with the districts will be very important, to give digital support to citizens in difficulty with the online services of the Public Administration. and for computer literacy courses. Dry-Art will also involve local schools through a close comparison with teachers, in particular with those referring to cyberbullying. Finally, associations that deal with training, projects for migrants and accessibility will be involved with figures of cultural mediators
