We applied for this project because after continuous lockdowns the digital divide in our institutions was huge. This phenomenon was more evident among families of migrants who had arrived at host countries in the last years. The primary schools in the institutions' districts were not ready to face the situation derived from Covid continuous lockdowns and the school failure was aggravated by the lack o digital skills and electronic devices. In all the institutions we assume that the improvement of digital, language and social (interpersonal and intrapersonal) skills among immigrant parents improve the skills of their children. Moreover, the coordinating institution has pioneered the coordination of inclusive European educational projects and has counted on a synergy created by volunteers, numerous stakeholders and transnational partners. The needs we have planned to address are 1) social problems of migrants, unemployed people, who already had difficulties gaining access to public sphere. This issue has worsened by continuous and widespread lockdowns. 2) We have also seen increased feelings of loneliness and depression among senior poluplation. This group has become the volunteering trainers of the training program (Group 3).
