The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, visited this morning the Cyberlibrary of Hernández Park, where one of the workshops of the digital camp promoted by the Cybervolunteers Foundation with funding from the Ministry of Children is developed. During his visit, Moh highlighted the relevance of this type of initiatives that combine learning with leisure in a safe and child-friendly environment during the holiday period.
On this second day of the camp, the head of the Government Delegation was able to get to know first-hand the activities carried out by the participants, boys and girls between 7 and 14 years old, although the program is aimed at children between 9 and 17. As he explained, these workshops make it possible to acquire essential digital skills, not only for the present, but also for the future.
“It’s about offering our children the tools they need to make good use of new technologies,” said Moh, who has also highlighted the dynamic and playful approach to content delivery. In this regard, he stressed that teaching is not only limited to the individual use of these tools, but also to how to transfer this knowledge to the family environment.
The Delegate also thanked the professionals involved in this educational project for their work, highlighting their role in the accompaniment and training of students. It has also recognized the effort of families to enroll their children in these activities, demonstrating a clear interest in responsible technological education.
Moh took advantage of his speech to highlight the importance of this type of initiative in family conciliation during the summer: “It is essential that our young people continue to learn, but in a playful way and focused on topics as current as cybersecurity and the responsible use of digital tools.”
Finally, he thanked the media for their work of dissemination, allowing citizens to know the work that is done in Melilla in the training field. “Education is the tool that allows us to change the world and build a more just, egalitarian and free society from the problems that also affect the digital sphere,” he concluded.
Digital Skills for Childhood
Digital Camp is an educational initiative promoted by the Cybervolunteers Foundation within the Digital Skills for Children Program of the Ministry of Youth and Children, funded by the European Union-Next Generation EU, which seeks to teach children and young people from 9 to 17 years to understand and take advantage of technology as a tool for personal and professional development.
With a close, safe and inclusive approach, especially for those in a situation of digital vulnerability, it is organized in intensive one-week camps in the morning and with age-adapted content: from identifying fake news and protecting online identity, to exploring tools such as artificial intelligence, programming or digital entrepreneurship. Upon completion, participants obtain the official DigComp certificate, which accredits their digital skills according to the European framework.
