BEDIGIT Project Newsletter: Advancing Digital literacy through training modules
The Building European Digital Inclusion and Trust (BEDIGIT) project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme (Project #: 2023-2-ES01-KA210-VET-00018100 – BEDIGIT), continues its mission to enhance digital accessibility, sustainability, and trust in online democratic processes.
As part of this initiative, our consortium has successfully completed the initial research phase, which involved conducting surveys and focus groups in the participating countries, Spain, Cyprus, and Ireland.
Key findings
Through extensive data collection and stakeholder engagement, we identified:
- Digital accessibility barriers related to affordability, usability, and inclusivity,
- Gaps in digital literacy, especially in cybersecurity, online privacy, and safe digital engagement,
- Limited awareness of sustainable digital practices and the environmental impact of digital consumption,
- Concerns over trust in digital democratic platforms, with participants calling for stronger transparency and security measures.
Next steps: Developing Digital training modules
With these insights, our consortium is now focused on designing digital training modules to equip individuals with essential skills and knowledge.
These modules will target the following areas:
- Digital inclusion – Ensuring all individuals, regardless of background, have access to and can effectively use digital tools,
- Sustainability in digital environments – Encouraging green IT practices and responsible e-waste management,
- Cybersecurity & trust-building – Strengthening online safety measures and digital resilience,
- Democratic participation – Educating users on secure engagement in online democratic spaces.
How You Can Participate
We will invite educators, professionals, and community members to get involved by sharing insights, participating in upcoming training, and promoting digital inclusivity.
