Community Learning and Development Device Fund 2023 (360G-SCVO-a13N2000002wpCHIAY)
Digital inequality is a recognised exclusion experienced by Gypsy/Travellers (1) and is a frequently raised concern in Article 12 in Scotland’s work with the community, partner organisations, and Scottish Government. COVID-19 restrictions have also highlighted the digital exclusion experienced by the Gypsy/Traveller community and the need to address this disadvantage (2).With this funding, we would purchase 10 Chromebooks and accessories (case, mouse, dongle) for a group of young Gypsy/Travellers who are currently engaged with our learning support in Falkirk. This is an established group who meet weekly for learning support in core skills, community engagement, and employability. With access to digital devices, we can improve the scope of their learning and include digital skills in the programme. Training will be provided during weekly meetings and the young people will be able to check out the devices for home practice during the course.
