See you tomorrow for a very exciting day at the EPALE Community Conference! 

The DigComp 2.1 - Publications Office of the EU (europa.eu) provides eight proficiency levels and examples of use applied to the learning and employment field. It tackles digital literacy through different competence areas: information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, safety and problem solving.

Many migrant women who arrive in Italy through family reunification are at high risk of exclusion and isolation and digital skills are very important for their knowledge of the context, to improve their relationships and therefore their inclusion.

Often to attract participants for digital skills training, courses and opportunities are posted online, or, signups are online. For potential participants that are digitally-illiterate this means that signups are difficult, or impossible, and often go unnoticed. Can you describe what you have done to attract these people who need it the most and how you attracted them to your courses/training? For example in the remote rural areas you have described.

Since the topic of the conference is Upskilling and Reskilling for the Digital Transition, what are your thoughts on ways to reskill adults regarding expressing their free expression or how to select the appropriate platform in order to do that? And do these affect their skills in the workplace?

Thank you

You said internet has enabled the preservation of languages. I am happy to hear this, because I tended to think we ho in the direction of over usage of languages. Could you elaborate on this?

I'd like to look more closely at the role and agency of the individual in the process you describe. How can ordinary citizens effectively participate in shaping the digital landscape? How can they reclaim their rights?
