Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

This project proposal, “Establishment of a Digital Club in Sofia”, plans the creation of a digital club in the building of CITUB (Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria), located at Macedonia Square No. 1. The goal is to improve the access and quality of education for the local community by providing modern technologies, internet, and electronic learning resources that can be used freely and without charge.

The project is aligned with the objectives of procedure BG-RRP-1.024 “Building a Network of Digital Clubs” under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, and envisions providing free and equal access for all residents — including vulnerable groups — to computer equipment and high-speed internet (minimum 100 Mbps).

Within the project, six modern computer configurations will be delivered and installed, together with desks, ergonomic chairs, and additional equipment required for effective operation in accordance with the standards of each center. Broadband internet connectivity will be ensured, and a mentor will be appointed to assist users in working with the equipment, guide them toward appropriate training for developing digital skills, and support them in using electronic services.

The project also foresees renovation works in the premises where the club will be established, to provide suitable and accessible conditions for learning and working.

By implementing the digital club in Sofia, at Macedonia Square No. 1, the target groups in the surrounding area will gain opportunities to participate in online courses and self-learning activities, to use electronic administrative services, and to engage actively in lifelong learning initiatives. The expected outcomes include improved digital skills, social inclusion, and the enhancement of the educational and cultural potential of the local community.
