Red Conecta is a social project run by a network of NGOs that promotes social inclusion through digital literacy skills. It operates 65 telecenters across Spain that provide training courses, self-learning activities, job searching assistance, and free internet access. The telecenters aim to serve disadvantaged groups and are fully integrated with host organizations to create synergies. Red Conecta also coordinates a network of telecenter operators and implements a methodology called Easy Computer for digital literacy training.
