About us
Who is the toolbox for?
The DigiUp Toolbox is designed for people who want to help others learn basic digital skills, especially adult migrant women who may have little experience with technology.
You don’t need to be an IT expert. The training materials are easy to use, practical, and flexible. You can adapt them to your learners' needs and your own experience.
The focus is on everyday digital skills and learning together in a supportive way.
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, 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 between March 2025 and 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 educators with a co-created, multilingual digital training toolbox, the project strengthens the capacity of local professionals and educators to deliver effective, inclusive digital skills training. Piloted in Finland, Denmark, and Estonia, 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
