The iAware project addresses the need to increase adult computer skills in today’s online reality. The digital revolution is changing the way Europeans live, work and learn. There are few training courses and programs that teach adults how to navigate the current reality full of threats such as fake news, hate, buying comments, fraud, clickbait, etc. The project is a Strategic Partnership for Adult Education, funded by the Erasmus + Program.
