Digital transition: What does that mean for rural young people? (short version)

COVID-19 seems to have accelerated the need and demand for the digitalization of public services. On the other hand, international bodies such as the European Union are pushing forward for the improvement of citizens’ digital skills. For instance, by 2025, it is expected that the share of low-achieving eighth-graders in computer and information literacy should be less than 15%. In this talk, Łukasz Tomczyk from the University of Macerata in Italy, discusses how can digitalization support young people to achieve their educational goals, especially vulnerable people like rural NEETs

Other aspects are discussed in this episode, namely how can digital tools and skills contribute to ease the school to work transition.
