The Digital Literacy Hub, located at IP Santarém, was established on February 5, 2020, as an extension of CIAC, and received a Very Good rating from FCT in its most recent evaluation. The Hub is responsible for the development and promotion of research in the fields of digital literacy and the integration of disadvantaged individuals into the labor market, addressing the social challenges in these areas. The research conducted in Santarém is coordinated in collaboration with four other international research and development centers: the Center for Social Innovation (CSI) in Cyprus; the Research Group on Images, Words, and Ideas (GIPI) in Spain; the Research Group in Language Studies, Libras, Special Education, Distance Education, and Technologies (GPELET) in Brazil; and Native Scientists in London, UK.
Objectives of the Group:
– To contribute to the development of knowledge arising from scientific and technological research in the fields of digital literacy and the inclusion of disadvantaged individuals in the labor market.
– Promote excellence in digital literacy as an effective strategy for labor market inclusion.
– To study the effectiveness of innovative resources and methodologies in real-world scenarios, aiming to enhance the employability of the target group.
– Develop a prototype for a holistic support model, incorporating practices, resources, methodologies, connections, and correlations in the digital domain, designed for disadvantaged individuals, and capable of being globally replicated, thus contributing to successful and sustainable inclusion.

National Agency launches new initiative to train youth workers
If the pandemic has taken away the possibility of getting together physically to share and learn, build and redefine futures, technology offers us opportunities to do so with the hope of continuing to turn difficulties into opportunities.
It is in this context that, on the sofa or in any other space, the Erasmus+ Youth in Action Agency is challenging us to uninstall ourselves and look for new approaches to relevant issues in our daily lives.
Thus was born this new concept – SOFA – which in October will have 4 sessions:
Every Wednesday, always at the same time – 17h00 – 19h00 (Lisbon time) – all those registered for each of the sessions will have the opportunity to work on the theme with experienced facilitators and current and interesting topics.
