As part of the IPDJ “Navega(s) em Segurança” program, our volunteer Gustavo Ramalho contributed to the digital literacy of children, youth, and adults in Aguada de Baixo, both online and offline. For that reason, Gustavo developed four sessions with 15 participants each. In essence, the distribution of groups depended on the specifics and availability of the participants. Moreover, at the end of each session, there was always an informal gathering to share experiences.
