Disseminating Technologies

Learning

From January to December 2007, Travelport and the International Youth Foundation (IYF) partnered with Fundação Abrinq to better prepare young people for success in the work force, while encouraging their commitment to improve their own communities. With the support of the Center for the Professional Development of Adolescents (CPA) – Pe. Bello, the project Disseminating Technologies targeted youth in vulnerable communities on the periphery of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, with an emphasis on strengthening their competencies in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as well as boosting their professional and personal skills such as teamwork, decision-making, life planning, and leadership, while also reaching out to other children, adolescents, and adults of the communities.

  • 20 youth educators trained to disseminate ICT knowledge in their communities
  • 2,043 children, youth and community members improved their IT skills
