It’s not just about digital access; adult learners need digital literacy too. If we are going to close the digital divide, digital literacy is essential because adult learners must be digitally proficient to participate in the digital economy. #DIW2024 #NYCADE @NYCCAL

At its core, #digitalinclusion is about creating a ​society where every individual can fully and ​equitably access and use technology. It’s a journey toward equality, access, empowerment, ​and a brighter future, and it’s a journey we must ​take together! #DIW2024 #InclusiveTech

Access to digital technology is a right, not a ​privilege, and building a world in which everyone has ​access to technology takes all of us. This ​#DigitalInclusionWeek, join us in amplifying the ​importance of bridging the digital divide together. ​#DIW2024
