"To use computers and Internet. Us too, of course!"

[telecentre-europe]

Fundación Esplai along with women’s association Surt and Cooperative association Abierto hasta el Amanecer have produced a guide addressed to women to learn how to use ICT.

Under the name “To use computers and Internet. Us too, of course!” this publication answers in a very simple and clear way, basic questions to get started in the use of ICT and Internet.

The guide has been co-funded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce within the program “Women and ICT. Equal Access, Equal Rights”. It’s organized as a small block with cards that deal with different aspects in order to reduce the digital divide that undergo women with difficult access to ICT. Mainly, the guide collects very interesting resources for immigrant women, victims of gender-based violence, how to set up your own business, etc.

Since many immigrant women will have this guide, the first part has been traduced in 4 languages: French, English, Romanian and Arab.

The final block is an interesting glossary of terms related to ICT, a basic dictionary that includes the main words within the IT world and Internet.

Dear Maria,
I've just run through your booklet for women.
It's so easy and professional.
Congratulations!
I like that it is very practical and step by step you go through all the situations that women are confronted with.
It is interesting for me that only one internet site address is given for each situation.
I prepared a little booklet also for our beginner groups but it contains a lot of useful links without any descriptions. I am thinking that maybe your way of explication of each situation would be more useful in some cases...
