The ASSIST project addresses the need for incarcerated learners of Second Chance School of Domokos to acquire practical skills and digital competences in order to strengthen their personal expertise in digital transformation and obtain concrete programming skills. Particularly, this project facilitates the access and use of digital tools from a social group with limited access to them. This is achieved with the implementation of digital courses by the two participating University departments.

This project has been funded with the support from the European Union. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the European Commission or State Scholarships Foundation (IKY) cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained herein.
