Objectives
- Identify and disseminate good practices in the promotion of digital
literacy aimed at people with disabilities.
- Provide people with disabilities the essential skills needed to take
an active part in the knowledge society and the new media culture.
- Learn and transfer good practices across Europe to reach an European
awareness of this local problem.
- Improve the quality of life of this group, and improve their opportunities
to reach social inclusion and employment.
- Influence local and regional organisations, informing of the importance
of including people with disabilities in the design of e-learning policies.
Approach
All the activities planned in this project are intended to identify
and disseminate good examples promoting digital literacy, and how they
affect a group with very special needs: people with disabilities.
The specific types of activity planned are:
- Create documentation of good case studies related to e-learning and
people with disabilities.
- Create the European Ability Office of “E-inclusion for people
with disabilities”.
- Celebrate Conferences in all the partner’s cities, related to
“People with disabilities and the digital divide”.
- Celebrate three Transnational Meetings.
- Transfer the good case studies to local and regional public organisations,
and to all partners and all their local and regional public organisations.
