What we do as an organization (100-word description)
Community Computer Education Centers
The project aims is to fight IT exclusion in the Podlasie region in Poland and targets the unemployed and those in danger of losing a job, so that, by acquiring basic computer/Internet literacy skills, they improve their qualifications and consequently their employment possibilities. The overall idea is to provide equal opportunities to all members of local Podlasie community in access to knowledge and ICT skills.
Our centers are set up in 7 locations in the Podlaskie region: in Augustów, Białystok, Łapy, Rudka, Sokółka, Zambrów and in Zawady. More than 100PC's with full Microsoft software were delivered. Till now more than 1500 people get free training in basic computer skills.
We also incorporate to our work libraries across the region, where in 2003 Microsoft set up 118 Public Internet Access Points "Ikonk@" (with 3PCs and WiFi in each point, they serve for more than 65000 people each year). Librarians works as ambasadors of our program in local communities, they recruit volunteer trainers, beneficiaries and do the most of administration work around trainings.
