DigiFast – Fast-Tracking Digital Inclusion Empowering Roma Youth Through Digital Skills
What is the DigiFast project?
DigiFast is an innovative initiative designed to bridge the digital divide by equipping young Roma with the skills needed to access opportunities in digital careers. Focused on content creation and digital marketing, the program provides practical training, mentorship, and direct pathways to employment, empowering participants to navigate the digital economy with confidence.
Our approach.
We offer a structured, hands-on training program tailored to young Roma with limited formal education. Developed in collaboration with industry experts, the program enables participants to:
- ✅ Build expertise in content creation, social media management, and branding
- ✅ Gain mentorship from professionals in digital marketing and media
- ✅ Work on real-world projects to develop a professional portfolio
- ✅ Access internships, job placements, and freelance opportunities
Through a combination of training, mentorship, and career support, DigiFast ensures that participants not only acquire technical skills but also gain the confidence and connections needed to succeed in the digital world.
What project results and other outcomes do you expect?
We aim to create a sustainable digital platform that serves as a replicable model for digital inclusion, providing Roma youth with:
- - Increased access to digital careers by developing essential skills.
- - Opportunities to showcase their talent, challenging preconceptions and reducing discrimination.
- - A strong support system through mentorship, networking, and career guidance.
“We believe that digital skills can unlock new opportunities for Roma youth, transforming them into content creators, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs of the future.”
Through DigiFast, we are not just teaching skills—we are shaping a more inclusive, digitally empowered generation.
Whether you're a young Roma looking to gain digital skills, an industry professional interested in mentoring, or an organization wanting to support digital inclusion, DigiFast welcomes you!
DigiFast focuses on youth basic digital skills and seeks to qualify them in technical fields.
