Digital Citizenship is a program that enables the digital and productive transformation of the people in Colombia, bringing them tools to increase their quality of life, making them more productive and bringing access to productive opportunities.

We created a framework of 28 competencies within the 9 elements of Digital Citizenship proposed by Mike Ribble, to be developed and evaluated on the “know-what”, “know-how” and “know-why” axes, and a set of questions to assess the performance within each of them.

We developed the most basic competencies of Digital Literacy through face-to-face courses, prioritizing 95 municipalities of the 32 departments of Colombia, based on poverty, connectivity and base literacy levels, and prioritizing the most vulnerable population on each of them. For the remaining competencies, we created quality content and made it available online for anyone to consult.

Finally, we created a baseline of partners that would give relevance and value to the certified competencies within the academy and the job market, and created an online community that brings access to opportunities for citizens and allows them to share experiences and to exercise their digital citizenship.
