How we contribute to the network

Best practices/Success stories

Other ways of contributing to the network (please describe):

Manage the project Telecentre 2.0.
Vary the "key to access" ITCs, moving from teaching digital literacy to meeting the interests and needs of people.
Use digital literacy teaching as excuse and not as an end in itself.
Create a Resource Centre to teach literacy and more specifically digital literacy for all.
Scale up the project Conecta Now in Europe, particularly in new member states of the European Union and in those countries involved in the "enlargement“ phase.
