Abstract

#Uptake_ICT2life-cycle: digital literacy and inclusion to learners with disadvantaged background# was an Erasmus + project that aimed at enhancing digital literacy among adults with disadvantaged backgrounds. This project addressed the needs identified by previous studies from Eurostat, which in 2013 identified that one in every three Portuguese has never used the Internet. Being Portugal the fifth country with the highest percentage of people in this situation (33%), preceded by Romania (42%), Bulgaria (41%), Greece (36%) and Italy (35%). Therefore, this project addressed this problem by engaging synergies of seven partners in four countries (Portugal, Italy, United Kingdom and Germany) whose good practices served as a model to follow by other institutions like the Science and Technology Foundation. This network worked at several levels of impact in transversal and trans-sectorial areas, both in terms of the partnerships (academia and business), and in terms of the focus group (VET; adult education with disadvantaged background; HEI with special focus on this group).
