The most innovative course of this year was “Finding a job after prison” for young
prisoners who learned to search for jobs and accommodation online. Young people
do not have access to the Internet in jail but need to be able to navigate the digital
world in order to start a life after their sentence. This course, which was given directly
at the university, provided them with this opportunity. Read about other courses

Christian Moreno
Christian is highly motivated to encourage the use of technologies among both
citizens and companies. He has worked at a Telecentre of the Extremadura’s region
Telecentre Network for more than 3 years. He is working in line with the Digital
Literacy Plan of Extremadura; that is an initiative giving solution to the territory
needs in terms of Information Society promotion. The Telecentre is a reference
place where users go to learn job seeking methods; it provides access to different
ICT training actions, promotes the digital culture and is trying to build a sense
of community and a cooperation environment where technological and social
innovation can flow freely. Cristian also helps SMEs to adopt technologies in the
value chain of the companies as an essential issue to increase their productivity.
Within the GOW17, Christian organised a workshop “Aprende a Emprender” (Resources
for entrepreneurship) for over 150 young people in vocational training. The objective
was to let them know about the available public resources when developing a
business idea. Different professionals from public and non-public entities will
participate.
