The Cabildo de La Gomera has completed the assessment of the La Gomera Aprende project, an initiative funded by the European Union that has provided digital skills training to 174 people.

The project, supported by Next Generation EU funds, aimed to reduce the technological gap and provide citizens with tools to manage daily tasks with greater autonomy. The free training was adapted to various skill levels and age groups.
The methodology was highly practical, focusing not only on device usage but also on interaction with the Public Administration. This includes the ability to apply for grants, perform electronic procedures, and use essential digital tools for daily life.

"The results highlight the importance of bringing digital training to citizens through proximity, addressing real needs."

To facilitate attendance, the 11.5-hour courses were held in decentralized locations such as neighborhood associations and the Residencia Escolar, avoiding unnecessary travel. High participation led several students to complete more than one training module, demonstrating a strong interest in acquiring digital skills.
