- multicultural organisations’ needs and areas of development regarding digital literacy in their organisational work.
Osana MoniDigi-kartoitusta teimme kyselyn, joka on suunnattu monikulttuurisille järjestöille, joiden kohderyhmänä ovat Suomessa asuvat vieraskieliset ja Suomeen muuttaneet.
Kysely oli saatavilla arabiaksi, englanniksi, farsiksi/dariksi, kurdiksi, suomeksi, somaliksi ja venäjäksi

Volunteering will begin in early 2022
During the second year of the project, we will build a process to recruit, train, and coordinate volunteers for digital support tasks in multicultural organisations. We will define the tasks based on the results of the mapping, the trainings and the digital support for organisations given during the first year.
The development work will take into account the digital and language skills of volunteers and the needs of the organisations.
