SenseAcademy We Tech Care : how can we better support people in vulnerable situations in their first steps on the Internet ?
j
j
During 2 months, 8 young people with different academic profiles worked together to solve the challenge of Emmaüs Connect. Their goal : help the association mobilize a large number of volunteers to accompany 200,000 people per year in their first steps on the Internet !
j
Their solutions ? A system of interactive bollards disposed in the streets to raise awareness about the consequences of digital exclusion ; hotlines (online and offline) enabling the volunteers to do their work in a warm and friendly atmosphere ; and the creation of a community of “Connectors” in which every one will have the freedom to find the role that suits him the best, depending on his skills and his time.
