Breaking technological barriers

The Balia Foundation promoted the ‘Conecta joven - Conecta mayores’ programme, which aims to close the digital gap between the population with fewer resources and difficulties in accessing the information society, and to strengthen the self-esteem of youths and adults.

Young volunteers train the elderly in the use of new technologies, by preparing workshops and basic IT courses.
One of the young participants in the programme took part in the Imagine Silicon Valley 2017 programme with a grant from the Foundation.
