Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The project will be implemented independently and envisages the establishment of a Digital Club with four fully equipped workstations at the *Chitalishte “Prosveta – 1865”* in the town of Gotse Delchev. All equipment and furnishings will be purchased under the project.

The Digital Club will be freely and openly accessible to all visitors, with priority given to disadvantaged individuals, in particular those who do not possess their own computer equipment or internet access.

The Club will open to visitors upon the appointment of a mentor for the period from the start of the Club’s operation until 30 June 2026. A staff member of the Chitalishte will be appointed as mentor under an additional employment contract of four hours per day, in accordance with Article 110 of the Labour Code. The Club’s working hours will take into account the availability of the different groups of users. The mentor will provide guidance to visitors with limited digital skills regarding suitable training opportunities, use of various e-learning platforms, access to online resources, and more.
Broadband internet will be provided for the Digital Club at the expense of the *Chitalishte*.
During project implementation, appropriate measures for information, communication, and publicity will be applied, in accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Following completion of the project, the operation of the Digital Club, as well as the intended use and ownership of the acquired equipment and furnishings, will be maintained without interruption for a period of no less than until 30 June 2027. The mentor’s employment will also be preserved.
The project is in full compliance with the requirements of the “Do No Significant Harm” principle.
