The „digitAll” project took place in Krakow. Activities began in March 2018, with the arrival of volunteers – Chloe from France and Denise from Italy. Both stayed in Krakow until mid-August. In September, volunteers came: Javier (from Spain, volunteer in Special School no. 11), Zafer (from Turkey, same), Josephine (from Germany, public school No. 11), Cristina (from Italy) and Viktoria (from Germany who unfortunately quited in February due to health reasons) – both at the Autism Center. In October, the team was joined by: Antonin (France, Special School), Julieta (Spain, public school ZSP No. 11). Volunteers stayed in Kraków for 10 months.

The project aimed to promote tools and initiatives that support the fight against digital exclusion, especially among the disabled and elderly people. We also covered topics of effective media literacy, on-line tools and online security. What is more, as a constant element of our EVS activities, we will work on ensuring that young people acquire the necessary competencies in today’s international labour market and discover other cultures by building a positive attitude of openness to otherness (promoting diversity and intercultural dialogue).
