Europe’s Digital Future: an holistic approach to digital inclusion - Livestream

As the world transitions to a new digital economy, access to digital technologies becomes a fundamental necessity for all. However, our adaptation to this new digital economy is significantly lagging behind, with many countries disconnected from the digital world and others failing to take necessary actions to prepare for the change. Welcome to a new global problem: The Digital Divide.

To address this growing gap and ensure the development of a more equitable society, we need to promote Digital Inclusion, which includes taking action in many areas such as technology, digital literacy, availability of resources and community support.

In this presentation, we will start by outlining the importance of this problem, and then explore practical solutions aimed at achieving widespread digital inclusion across European regions and demographics. Finally, we will discuss future ideas and projects with a focus on actionable steps.
