About the Digital Community

The Digital Community Students

The Digital Community Programme has brought Computer Labs into twenty five Dublin Inner City Flat Complexes, and continues to train the residents of these socio economic disadvantaged communities in skills that will help them to bridge the Digital Divide in the future.

The Programme trains residents in basic computer courses and gives them the skills, through our train the trainer course, to pass their new learning on to their neighbours and friends. Courses include Comic Creation, Clay Animation Digital Literacy Digital Photography, and a range of formal courses which are accreditated through DIT's CPD (Continuing Professional Development)course, FETAC and Microsoft. (Microsoft accreditation is provided by Certiport USA  and delivered through Prodigy Ireland to our communities).

The programme also provides high quality Technical Support for Hardware & Software in all the centres. The programme also actively encourages the participation of other ethnic groups within our centres. Currently these include Victims of Persecution and Torture(Spirazi) Seperated Children, Refugees and Asylum seekers.
