Digital Participation

Digital participation has long been the key to social inclusion. That is why we focus our commitment where we can make the greatest difference – in digital inclusion.

One example is the “MediaWorld Labs” project of our Italian country organization, which supports people in the flood-affected Emilia-Romagna region. Schools there were equipped with technical devices to enable a successful fresh start and ensure the development of digital skills. The project is now being continued at additional schools. In Spain, our employees volunteer to help older people use digital technology safely, through workshops and one-to-one conversations – and to reduce social isolation. And in Ingolstadt, we have supported the “Digital für alle” project group, which advises people with different disabilities and provides them with accessible technology – for example tablets with communication tools.
