The purpose of the Free Foundation is " to reduce the digital divide. A few years ago, this notion referred to a lack of equipment in a part of the population, but we can see that these inequalities have continued in the use of IT tools.
The Free Foundation had launched in September 2017 a call for projects (the second) around the theme "autonomy and digital". It wished, in making this call, to highlight digital mediation projects that would aim to increase digital skills and the use of tools to these people."The Foundation has just launched a new call for projects on the digital transition of territories. Its ambition" is to act more effectively on a territorial scale by supporting the consolidation of a network of actors committed to the subject of digital inclusion. It is therefore aimed at public/private/associative structures that have initiated a process of pooling their practices in order to broaden or strengthen the impact of their actions for the benefit of the territory's inhabitants, with a focus on vulnerable groups.
The funds allocated by the foundation will be used for the organization and consolidation of the network (e.g. meetings dedicated to collective work, salary of a coordinator, experimentation of tools allowing the sharing and dissemination of collaborative practices, etc.)
Application deadline: May 27, 2018
