Context
#EusouDigital (#IAmDigital) is a national Portuguese digital-inclusion programme run by .PT, FCT and INCoDe.2030 in partnership with MUDA, aimed at people who currently have no interaction with the online world — including unemployed people, people facing social problems, migrants and elderly people.
Objectives
To promote and develop digital inclusion in Portugal by reaching people with no current internet interaction and building a lasting national network of local training centres.
Activities
The programme opens with a National Roadshow delivered by volunteers close to participants' communities, teaching first steps in internet use and its everyday advantages. Participants try Google and Microsoft virtual-reality glasses and are encouraged to share what they learn with friends and family. The roadshow also aims to build a national network of digital-inclusion training centres through partnerships with neighbourhood organisations.
Implementation
- Indicative cost
- Medium (€50k–€500k)
- Time to results
- Medium (1–3 years)
- Staffing & skills
- Volunteers delivering roadshow sessions, Partner organisations (.PT, FCT, INCoDe.2030, MUDA) coordinating the programme, Neighbourhood organisations hosting/partnering on local training centres
Conditions for success
- A national roadshow model that brings training into close proximity with target communities
- Partnerships with neighbourhood organisations to build a lasting network of local training centres
- Access to demonstration technology (e.g. VR headsets) to engage participants
Common failure modes
- No evaluation or reach data is published, so the programme's actual impact is undocumented
