The municipality of Parets del Vallès has been one of the five places that have hosted the pilot test of the program 'Més Digitals'. "Here, the pilot test of the program 'Més Digitals' consisted of a fifteen-hour training course at the most initial level that aimed to train and improve the digital skills of around fifteen participants", explains Adriana Díaz, teacher of the pilot test of the program 'Més Digitals'. In the same way, the pilot test was carried out at two points in Barcelona, one in Lliça d'Amunt and one in Canovelles. Therefore, the courses have had a total duration of fifteen hours and have been carried out in small groups. Specifically, three different training itineraries have been offered in accordance with the previous knowledge of the participants: 'Discover the digital world', 'We move through the digital world' and 'We enter the digital world'. "We learned how to use the mobile phone. For example, I've learned how to change the wallpaper or create a conversation group", says Teresa Esteve, participant of the pilot test of the program 'Més Digitals'.
Within the framework of the Shock Plan against the Digital Divide 2024-2025, the General Directorate of Digital Society of the Department of Business and Labor of the Generalitat de Catalunya promotes the 'Més Digitals' which has a budget of 22.7 million euros that will be used to promote the digital empowerment of more than 90,000 people through more than 9,000 courses that will be taught throughout Catalonia to help citizens achieve basic skills in the digital field and at the same time improve their quality of life through the use of technologies in a safe, inclusive, sustainable, democratic and equitable way.
