18 Sep, 2022

ALL DIGITAL Awards 2022 Ceremony @Prague

The ALL DIGITAL Awards celebrate the individuals and organisations across Europe that enable citizens to transform and enrich their lives through the benefits and opportunities created by digital technologies. Thousands of individuals and hundreds of organisations around Europe work daily with communities to empower citizens through technology and the Internet: from teaching digital and media literacy and online safety to helping people carry out government, financial or commercial transactions and to training in coding, robotics and cybersecurity. These individuals and organisations often support entrepreneurship and employability in an ever-changing digital environment and labour market and unite different stakeholders in campaigns and projects that aim to ensure digital inclusion and enable digital social innovation. ALL DIGITAL has established the Awards to recognise and celebrate their innovation, dedication and the inspiring role they play to many people.

ALL DIGITAL Awards 2022 – The finalists

WINNER: Coronada Pardo Cotón – Spain (nominated by Gema Parrado León from AUPEX)

“I am a committed e-facilitator. For 17 years, I work daily with diverse groups on digital and social aspects (mainly with disabled people), using inclusive methodologies to give responsibilities and roles to my students as a form of social inclusion. For me, technical training is not everything. Social aspects and the involvement of the people in the training groups are decisive. A cohesive group can function on their own, generate synergies, work as a team, cooperate and grow all together, and for me, this is the basis for learning digital competencies. I’ve developed a social innovation project to facilitate the lockers’ opening for users with health problems, using 3D printing, as they had difficulty opening them due to their fine motor skills problems.” Promotional video 1 and video 2 about innovation project with 3D printing.
