Mobile School

Yesterday, the day before Internet Day, TIM, presented the largest mobile school for Internet: Operation Digital Risorgimento [see press release (in Italian)].

 

"We believe calls and appeals are not sufficient to introduce those who have been excluded from the web to the Internet, nor can we use a simple app. We want to sit down together with each one of them and explain about on-line opportunities, how it improves our lives. Practical aspects that are useful and fun, that do not require great knowledge, but just a little nudge to start.”

 

 

“We are the European country with the highest number of individuals who has never used the Internet: nearly 18 million or 30% of the population aged above 6. And we know that the majority of these individuals has a precise profile: older than 50, living in small towns with 60,000 citizens. And that is where we will go: 107 small towns that are reached by fibre optic cables. We’ll go with our teachers to introduce them to the web, to what they can do. It will be a real intensive course that will allow a further one million citizens to become Internet citizens. Just as in the 1960s, when a television programme taught millions of Italians to read and write.”

 

“Our project is open to all those who wish to support it. We can’t do everything on our own, but we will start.”

 

TIM will be supported by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale that has been working on citizen digital literacy for nearly 20 years and is helping senior citizens to learn about new technology with the Grandparents on the Internet intergenerational learning model.

 

In the coming days, we will present more of our initiatives in this context. In the meantime, we would like to point out that the tour begins on November 11 in Marsala, the city that presented a honoris causa citizenship to Tullio De Mauro (Torre Annunziata 1932 - Rome 2017), the linguist who always strenuously defended the need to continue the process of literacy, both functional and digital, in our country.

 

In 2007, thanks to Professor Emeritus Tullio De Mauro, who at the time was President of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, and in collaboration with the Department of Linguistics at Sapienza University of Rome, we developed the first Guide to Digital Literacy for adults, developed as part of Project Grandparents on the Internet. The large-font manuals have been published to make them easy to use and easy to read.
