DigiC: Digital literacy and cybersecurity for disadvantaged adults

<< Objectives >>Through DigiC, we empower disadvantaged adults to acquire vital digital and cybersecurity skills. Leveraging an AI-driven platform, interactive lessons and offline accessibility, we reduce skill gaps, boost social inclusion and equip educators with advanced, inclusive teaching strategies. Ultimately, we foster safer online engagement, strengthen employability and promote lifelong digital readiness for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, furthering Europe’s inclusive learning goals.<< Implementation >>Over 5 WPs, DigiC builds a digital educator toolbox (WP2) and an AI avatar with gamified platform (WP3) to deliver inclusive, cybersecurity-focused lessons for disadvantaged adults. We pilot and refine these resources via a Train-the-Trainer LTTA (WP4), ensuring robust feedback. Management and quality assurance (WP1) guide the entire process, while dissemination (WP5) secures broad uptake through a project website, webinar and multiplier events.<< Results >>DigiC equips 300 disadvantaged adults and 60 educators with an AI-based platform, multilingual modules and gamified cybersecurity lessons. By uniting offline-friendly resources, robust assessment tools and inclusive teaching strategies, DigiC fosters lasting digital literacy, employability and safer online practices across EU. All outputs remain freely accessible to ensure sustained impact for 3 years after the project end.
