Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The project responds to an identified need in the town of Borovo – lack of access to modern digital technologies and limited opportunities for residents to be included in training and online services. In small settlements, a large part of people do not have their own computer and internet, and the elderly and disadvantaged often experience serious difficulties when working in a digital environment. This leads to social exclusion and hinders their participation in lifelong learning, as well as in social and economic processes.

With the implementation of the project, a Digital Club will be created in the Borovo community center, which will function as a free and open access point to online resources, training and electronic services. The club will be equipped with 4 workstations and the necessary additional equipment for full-fledged work. Current renovation of the premises will be carried out. The club will use the available high-speed internet. An appointed mentors will provide support and consultations to all users – including people in disadvantaged situations, representatives of the Roma community, the elderly and women – by directing them to appropriate training and assisting in working with electronic services.

The main objectives of the project are:
- building a physical environment for access to modern technologies;
- providing opportunities for digital learning and self-study;
- providing individual support and consultations for acquiring digital skills.

The target group includes 1308 residents of the town of Borovo between the ages of 15 and 75, with vulnerable groups being supported as a priority.

The expected results include: a functioning digital club providing free access to technology and the internet; dozens of residents who have improved their digital skills; social inclusion through active involvement in online training and services.
