Project Summary

PROLIFIC is designed to empower vulnerable groups on their digital rights through the capacity building of professionals who work with them in NGOs, associations, social services, etc. through the creation, validation and launch of an Online custom course generation software to educating vulnerable groups in citizens’ digital rights and a set of related contents (O1); and a Evaluation tool to measure the impact of promoting citizens’ digital rights among vulnerable groups (O2); together with three multiplier events and one learning activity. Thus, PROLIFIC tries to offer innovative training tools for vulnerable groups to prevent and combat cheating online situations; concretely: empowering vulnerable groups in their digital rights by building the capacity of professionals working with them; increasing the awareness of vulnerable groups about their digital rights; providing a software that personalises a training curriculum for professionals who work with vulnerable groups, according to the characteristics of each specific group; delivering an evaluation tool to measure the effectiveness of the training provided; and promoting the transferability of the tools to other target groups. In concrete, PROLIFIC is addressed to three vulnerable groups: migrants, older people and disabled people; but open to be adapted to more groups and professionals. Moreover, PROLIFIC is also addressed to experts (e.g. lawyers, education, IT), and stakeholders (NGOs, associations, public services, etc.). PROLIFIC outcomes will remain open available after the project finishes to guarantee the access for those interested stakeholders and society.
