The Service-Learning (ApS) project “Design and Delivery of Digital Literacy Workshops”, promoted by professors Joaquín Enríquez, Begoña Álvarez, Jorge Pérez, and Simón Villamayor, involves more than 30 first-year students from the Labor Relations and Human Resources degree at the Faculty of Labor Sciences of the Ferrol Industrial Campus. The initiative is part of the Basic Informatics course.
In the current academic year 2026/27, the project collaborates with the Sociocultural Association ASCM Galicia, Movilidad Humana, and the Galician Confederation of People with Disabilities (COGAMI), with Emisoras Municipais Galegas (EMUGA) also joining. The in-person work sessions, to be held in the coming weeks, will cover the use of new technologies, such as safe internet navigation, the use of electronic certificates, and CV creation.
Through this initiative, students apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real-life situations, improving participants' digital skills and integrating academic learning with community service, following the Service-Learning (ApS) methodology.
Additionally, some students are recording a series of educational podcasts on digital literacy in collaboration with EMUGA. These podcasts will be broadcast throughout 2027 on local radio stations in 25 municipalities.
This initiative is part of a collaboration agreement between EMUGA and the University of A Coruña (UDC), through the Office of Cooperation and Volunteering (OCV), to disseminate Service-Learning (ApS) projects and bring the teaching innovations from the Ferrol Industrial Campus to the public.
