Who is
the toolbox for?
The DigiUp Toolbox supports those who guide adult migrant women in building confidence with digital skills. It provides practical, adaptable materials that make learning accessible and relevant to everyday life, from searching for jobs to using digital tools at work.
By focusing on learning together, the toolbox helps create supportive environments where both trainers and learners feel empowered to grow.
Why we focus on strengthening digital skills
Beyond the workplace, basic digital skills are essential for everyday life—from buying public transportation tickets and booking appointments to applying for housing or study places—because many essential services are now primarily available online. Promoting digital inclusion is therefore not just a matter of efficiency but also a question of equity, social participation, and empowerment for all.
Join our mission of
promoting digital inclusion
Development of the Toolbox Project
The project is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers for the period of March 2025 to March 2026. It focuses on enhancing the digital skills of migrant women to support their access to employment and improve social inclusion across the Nordic and Baltic regions. By equipping trainers, educators and community members with a co-created, multilingual toolbox, the project strengthens their capacity of to deliver effective, inclusive digital skills training. Piloted in Denmark, Estonia, Finland and Norway, the toolbox is designed to be scalable and sustainable, supporting long-term integration and empowerment of migrant women.
The toolbox's framework and materials are developed based on the Life Skills Model for All (Kaikkien-mallit, available in Finnish), which emphasizes learner-centeredness and ensures that learning connects directly to real-life situations. Understanding learners' needs, backgrounds, and interests is at the heart of successful training. Additionally, the toolbox promotes shared learning, where everyone contributes their knowledge and skills.
Parts of the trainers guide and training materials have been proofread and refined with the support of ChatGPT.
