Operation Digital Risorgimento is a national programme organised by TIM and supported by institutions, companies and civil society, to drive the digitalisation of the country and help citizens to quickly acquire strategic digital competences. Thanks to a vast catalogue of free courses, including advanced ones, the programme presents itself as a school for everyone, from individuals to enterprises and the public administration.
SCHOOL OF INTERNET FOR EVERYONE
The “School of Internet for Everyone” organised by “Operation Digital Risorgimento” is an educational programme dedicated to citizens. Between 2020 and 2021, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, an initiative partner, has been promoting and organising free on-line courses to raise greater awareness on the opportunities provided by digital transformation and simplify the lives of people through the daily use of new technology. Live in a digital society as a protagonist!
The school is open to citizens of all ages, residing in any region. You do not require any specific competences to participate, just a basic knowledge of devices (medium to low entrance level) and the desire to learn more about new tools and applications to live and work in the 21st century. And to continue to learn.
THE COURSES
Interested citizens can take advantage of two options:
- Improving Life through Digital Tools – download the apps that can simplify your daily life, learn to use on-line payment systems and the digital services of the public administration and health system.
- Digital Collaboration: discover the advantages of cloud services for managing and archiving your documents; navigate and find information on-line safely and learn to use digital tools to collaborate remotely, as well as social networks to communicate and share.
Citizens can choose to participate in either one or both of the courses, but we recommend you select the second course only if you are familiar with the Internet and can create your own Chrome profile, besides understanding cloud services and security issues. Otherwise, we recommend you follow the first course.
For the best experience, we recommend you follow the webinars from a PC and use a smartphone or tablet for the practice exercises.
COURSES
Each course lasts one month and is based on four one-hour webinars. Participants will join a virtual community organized by TIM coaches where, besides distance learning, they will also be able to enjoy e-learning content, advanced concepts explained in PDFs, practical exercises, videos and mini-games to test the newly acquired competences. Participants will receive an open badge certificate, as long as they have attended no less than 75% of on-line lessons.
At the end of each course, participants can choose to participate in a national game to continue testing and practicing their new competences. Your final result will contribute to a regional ranking.
