DigitALL aims to fight educational poverty and break down the digital divide with a collaborative,
participatory approach involving all players in the educating community. Families, children, teachers, local institutions and educators join forces to build a shared vision and essential skills in use of digital technologies.
Now more than ever, digital education of young people must be a shared commitment: children live in a world that is heavily influenced by technology and digitalisation in all aspects of everyday life. It is therefore essential to ensure continuity and consistency in the educational approach on all levels. Every individual, whatever his or her circumstances, has the right to access digital technology and be taught to use it conscientiously.
The project acts to achieve these goals on a number of fronts. First of all, it focuses on skills and innovation in the tools and methods available to the educating community, particularly schools, the principal place of aggregation and socialisation of a community. It is then extended outside the walls of the school to reach particularly vulnerable categories: this effort aims to make the community more inclusive and meet the need for education on various levels in the area, bridging the digital divide that often isolates particularly vulnerable people, with activities specifically targeting children in hospital, kids and families in the charge of social services, and elderly members of the community.
Lastly, the project aims to strengthen support networks in the community, promoting alliances among adults,
educators, local institutions and the young people themselves. This kind of collaboration is essential to improve the effectiveness and impact of the actions. Creation of a “Pact for digital education” shared with all members of the community represents a powerful tool for guiding actions, choices and behaviours in the present and future toward inclusive, conscientious digital education.
