Limerick E-inclusion Action Project

Welcome to Limerick E-inclusion Action Project. The aim of this project is to deliver innovative responses to digital exclusion in Limerick City. This project has three parts each focused around the area of education, training and knowledge sharing.

Our first focus will be developing the skills and confidence in the use of technology among late adopters and particularly among target groups identified through national and local research (the unemployed, those over 55 years of ages and those engaged in home duties).

We will also be running training courses for Community Tutors to develop their digital capacity and skills to be used in learning environments.

The final part of the project will use mentoring initiatives to (a) introduce new technologies to community groups and (b) create opportunities for cooperation and sharing of knowledge and experience between third level/further education students and community groups in Limerick City.

In the coming weeks we will post a list of courses available with dates and time.
