TRANSFORMING FUTURES THROUGH DIGITAL INCLUSION
IN NORDIC-BALTIC REGION

Project “Transforming Futures through Digital Inclusion in Nordic-Baltic Region” will develop a research-based approach that provides new insights into the improvements of quality of life and professional development in careers for underrepresented groups across the Baltic countries resulting from existing and potential digital support initiatives

We need your insights to drive change!

We are conducting a survey that is organised as part of the project “Transforming Futures through Digital Inclusion in Nordic-Baltic Region,” aiming to deepen the understanding of digital inclusion experiences in the Nordic and Baltic regions. The partners of the project are Riga TechGirls, Smartwork academy and  Nordregio. Through this project, we seek to explore how digital inclusion initiatives could improve the quality of life and career opportunities for underrepresented groups in the Baltic countries. The data obtained from this survey will be used only for research purposes within the partner organizations only. The information you provide will be randomized and summarised anonymously, and it will not be shared with any third party organisations. 

 

About the project

“Transforming Futures through Digital Inclusion in the Nordic-Baltic Region” is an ambitious initiative aimed at developing a comprehensive, research-based approach that seeks to generate new insights and understanding regarding how digital inclusion can significantly enhance the quality of life and facilitate professional development for underrepresented groups across the Baltic countries.

This initiative recognizes the pressing need to address the disparities faced by these communities in accessing digital resources and opportunities, which are increasingly vital in today’s technology-driven world. By investigating existing and potential digital support initiatives, the project will explore how these resources can be optimized to empower individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, thus fostering greater equity in career development.

In analyzing the current landscape, the project will delve into the specific barriers faced by these groups, such as limited access to technology, digital literacy challenges, and lack of tailored resources and support systems. It will then provide evidence-based recommendations designed to bridge these gaps, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background, have the chance to harness digital tools for personal and professional growth.

Ultimately, the goal of this initiative is to create a more inclusive environment where the benefits of digital advancements are accessible to everyone, thereby transforming the futures of individuals and communities throughout the Nordic-Baltic Region. By focusing on actionable strategies supported by rigorous research, the project aspires to contribute to a more equitable society that fully leverages the potential of digital inclusivity.
