71% of respondents had never heard about the Circular Economy. 47.6% declared being able to
use some basic features of a computer. Asked if they can find a job online, only 19% declared to
be able to access an online job portal without any help.
In the framework of the project “Inclusion and Digital empowerment through circular economy”,
five organizations from from Malta, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus have created two needed training materials to support ethnic minorities and migrants for their digital empowerment.
Based on the responses of the survey collected in Malta, it is evident that the courses are needed.
A media campaign to donate second-hand laptop and digital devices
Started in September 2023, a media campaign invited stakeholders and individuals to donate second hand laptops still well functioning. Such computers are donated to all participants at the end of the training. The consortium collected more than 50 computers, from It companies, Schools, Individuals and many other different profiles of donors.
Across the partners countries, the delivery of the two training courses is ongoing, until October 15th.
A digital literacy course comprising five modules, that gives focus to the benefit of Digital Circular Economy, as well as all necessary skills to grab the basics of files management, computers components and software knowledge.
An Online Jobs Search training course, comprising seven modules, where learners get knowledge about accessing the Internet and exploring with their newly acquired device jobs opportunities, internet safety, CV making and various Jobs interviews skills.
The direct beneficiaries are ethnic minorities youths and youths from a migrant background
In Malta, the training was delivered to a group of 14 youths living in the communities and in a refugee center. All received a used, but still working laptop at the end of the 20 hours of training, spread over six days.
To expand on the information concerning the philosophy of Circular Economy, the consortium has interacted not only with the direct learners, but also with the broader audience by producing written content in six languages about various aspects of the Circular Economy.
Some examples of articles are:
How Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the Circular Economy.

They can be found in the News section of the Project website.
Both training modules can be found on the project’s E-Learning platform in six languages, including Arabic.
