[Jef De Backker]

We as Digidak hold activities both for adults as for youths. In both fields we had a massive impact due to COVID.
For adults we normally hold courses and technical support sessions targeted at people with little to no digital skills.
These people largely do not have the skills and materials to participate in the online events we organised.

In our youths department we experienced problems because most activities were cancelled due to COVID. We developed an online alternative for some activities. These worked fine, but did not always reach our normal audience of disenfranchised youths.

Concerns/hopes for the future?

We hope that decisionmakers will realize there is more need than ever to invest in e-inclusion. Our concern is that investments in this field will be shortlived and not structural.
