Redvolción - Empowering youth people through the use of internet


Description

“Redvolucion” seeks to reduce the digital divide by expanding the knowledge of new technologies

and Internet, on those members of our communities who for various reasons have not yet entered

the digital way. In practice, the strategy is developed under the scheme of compulsory social

service (CSO) to all students aged 10 and 11 of the country should pay, positively exploiting the

fact that they are digital natives who can make available to their communities all the knowledge

we have about the network and its many possibilities to improve their daily lives.
