Buenos Aires Expands Free Digital Literacy Programs for Educators, Adults, Seniors

The City of Buenos Aires offers '+ Alfabetización', a free digital platform with four pedagogical capsules to support teachers in literacy and digital education, with over 3,000 enrolled educators. This resource joins other local efforts that focus on practical digital training across neighbourhoods and schools.

Platforms for Educators and Schools

The 'Biblioteca Digital' serves as an open-access platform providing didactic resources in Education Digital and other subjects for all educational levels, overseen by the Ministry of Education of Buenos Aires. The Provincial Government of Buenos Aires implements the 'Programa de Alfabetización Digital (PAD)' across 1,650 primary schools and all CECs to assist users in appropriating information and communication technologies. These tools form part of ongoing work to integrate digital skills into everyday learning settings.

Workshops and Training Opportunities

The 'Alfabetización Digital' workshop in Barrio 31 trains adults over 21 years to use electronic devices capitalizing on their potential. Sessions run Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:30 at El Galpón, Aula 5, starting August 25. Centros de Formación ABC Digital provide in-person and virtual training for seniors to independently and safely use mobile devices and daily-life applications. Residents can reach these centres by contacting Line 147 option 5.

These programs operate at the intersection of education and technology, supplying concrete resources that residents and educators can access directly. The combination of platforms, scheduled workshops and dedicated centres creates multiple entry points for building digital competence without cost barriers.
