Access Digital Literacy Workshops
Empowering Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Individuals from low Income Households
For asylum seekers and refugees, digital literacy is essential for accessing information, resources, and services that can help them settle and integrate into their new communities. It opens up opportunities for employment, education, and social connection, reducing isolation.
Access to Resources and Support
Digital skills help individuals access critical services, such as healthcare, housing, education, and legal support, often delivered online. This is particularly vital for refugees and asylum seekers who may not have an established support network.
Inclusion in the Modern Economy
With the majority of job applications, banking, and essential services moving online, digital literacy is necessary for financial stability and economic independence. Workshops can help refugees and asylum seekers gain the skills needed for job searches, applications, and managing personal finances online.
Building Community and Reducing Social Isolation
Access Bridge can use digital literacy workshops to foster a sense of community and belonging, encouraging interaction and collaboration among participants. These connections can create a support network, important for people adjusting to a new life in a foreign country.
Reducing Inequality
Limited access to digital skills can exacerbate social inequality, making it harder for individuals to improve their socio-economic standing. By providing digital literacy, Access Bridge helps bridge this gap, supporting equal opportunities in society.
Lifelong Learning and Adaptability
Digital literacy is a foundation for lifelong learning, enabling people to adapt as technology and society evolve. It equips individuals with the skills they need to continue learning, find information independently, and stay updated with changes in the digital world.
