SUMMARY OF TOPICS

This group will be working around the following 3 topics, through direct discussions, webinars and joint project work.

Topic 1: Situation analysis, exploring reasons and size of digital gap

  • Identify general and specific obstacles for e-inclusion of different vulnerable groups on the European level. How general/specific should approach to the problem resolution be?
  • Exploring reasons and the size of digital gap among vulnerable groups. Are all vulnerable groups digitally excluded? Do we have more or less e-excluded than “excluded”? Is ICT a new tool for exclusion?
  • Identify the goals of e-inclusion of vulnerable groups. Do we want to achieve basic level or more advanced? What is the scope of our goals: introduction, intermediate or proficiency skills? Is it realistic to set up goals for a professional level?

Topic 2: Identify and proposing best strategies, tools, policies and practices

  • Identify successful strategies, tools, methodologies and best practices to overcome digital division among vulnerable groups. What are similarities among these tools and methodologies?
  • Creating recommendations to the stakeholders (at local, regional, national, European level). How to change the system and decrease the digital divide gap?
  • Best training practices and tools to upgrade ICT skills for vulnerable groups. Are there any boundaries?

Topic 3: Decreasing digital gap

  • Awareness raising about the importance of digital skills among vulnerable groups. How to target the vulnerable?
  • Identify ways to encourage vulnerable groups to choose ICT careers
  • Identify potential partners and opportunities for a new European level project
