The award, part of the Digital Innovation Awards of Catalonia \u2013 GrausTIC, recognizes the Digitalitza\u2019t initiative for its efforts to bridge the digital divide and promote community empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Digitalitza\u2019t <\/strong>project, led by the Sargim Foundation, has been recognized at the Digital Innovation Awards of Catalonia \u2013 GrausTIC in the category \u201cSocial Integration through Digitalization,\u201d<\/strong> sponsored by the iSocial Foundation. This recognition, awarded on November 14 during the GrausTIC 2024 conference, highlights the initiative\u2019s value in addressing the digital divide and fostering inclusion and social integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitalitza\u2019t <\/strong>is a community-focused digital support service tackling two critical social challenges: improving employability for at-risk youth and addressing the digital disconnection of citizens with limited technological knowledge or resources. Using a participatory and inclusive metodology<\/strong>, young participants in the project are trained by the Sargim Foundation to act as digital agents, assisting community members with online processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By gaining firsthand knowledge of the needs in their neighborhoods, these young digital agents can better identify existing challenges and, when necessary, create supportive digital content and micro-training sessions that enhance the digital literacy of neighbors who need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, Digitalitza\u2019t <\/strong>not only empowers citizens but also provides growth and job opportunities for at-risk youth<\/strong>. Through training and participation in the initiative, these young people become positive role models within their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project offers free, walk-in services at various strategic locations<\/strong>, including municipal markets and a mobile office housed in a converted shipping container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitalitza\u2019t <\/strong>is driven by the Les Planes-Blocs Florida Integral Plan from the City Council of L’Hospitalet, the Mobile World Capital Barcelona Foundation, and managed by the Sargim Foundation. In addition to winning the Social Integration through Digital Technology Award, the project has received other honors, such as the 2024 Go!ODS Award and the Best Social Transformation and Community Impact Project Award from the Third Sector Confederation.<\/p>\n\n\n
