On 13 November 2013, a company was selected to provide training for final beneficiaries. The successful bid was submitted by A1 Polska from Wrocław. The training is intended to teach basic computer skills and how to use the internet. It will take place from January 2014.
All beneficiaries and their families are asked to contact MOPS (7 Cicha Street, 59-700 Bolesławiec), directly with the social workers: Iwona Marcinkiewicz and Danuta Owczarek between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. and between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. to learn the details and training schedule.
The “Be Fair – internet as a common good” project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Operational Programme Innovative Economy. The total value of the project is PLN 7,384,169, including PLN 6,953,003 in funding from the Operational Programme Innovative Economy.
The primary aim of the “Be Fair – internet as a common good” project is to reduce digital exclusion in the city. The project aims, among other things, to reduce disparities in access to modern information technologies. Thanks to support provided under the project, Bolesławiec residents experiencing digital exclusion will significantly improve their chances of fuller participation in social and economic life.
The 200 families participating in the project will receive, on a loan basis, a computer set with basic software and internet access. In addition, two people from each family will take part in training on basic computer skills and internet use.
Families were recruited by the Municipal Social Welfare Centre in Bolesławiec from among residents receiving social assistance benefits. The project was scheduled to end on 31 December 2015.
