Digital Bridge

Back


"The Digital Bridge" is a project aimed to narrow the digital divide through educational activities in socio-economically challenged areas. It took place in the academic year 2003-4 in Jaffa, Israel. The project was led by university students who are alumni of the ITU Youth Forums and "Human Network" volunteers. The basic idea was using the existing ICT infrastructure for development of human resources in the challenged areas. As a result, "The Digital Bridge" focused on educational projects with kids giving them basic skills in computer and Internet utilization. The uniqueness of "The Digital Bridge" was in approaching kids in their own environment, entering their schools, and not taking the children to a third party's facilities.
