Longford Women’s Link joins forces with new Erasmus+ Digital Project

The DELSA project addresses the issue of low digital competencies and skills and will develop concrete training and educational resources to advance digital abilities of adults.

The two-year project has eight partners from six European countries (Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Spain) and is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission under Key Action 2: Strategic Partnerships for Adult Education.

The resources developed by the DELSA project will be developed according to an accurate evidence-based assessment, ensuring a bottom-up approach which will produce outcomes fully relevant and consistent with the actual needs of the target group.

At the Brussels meeting, the partners had the opportunity to introduce themselves and share relevant knowledge from each country.

The meeting then focused on the project implementation, focusing on specific actions to analyse the issues, produce project outputs and disseminate the learning widely to ensure that the actions have results are visible across Europe.

Multiplier Events in each project country are envisioned during the DELSA lifetime to foster project visibility and to disseminate its methodology and outputs.

The DELSA project lead partner is Irish Rural Link and LWL are represented on the IRL board by Deputy CEO Tara Farrell.

Tara is also the Chairperson of AONTAS, the national adult learning organisation in Ireland.
