Open Minds aims to increase the digital skills of one of the key sectors of European civil society: that covering social and cultural players and the broad public with whom they are in contact. The needs in terms of digital transition increased during the health crisis, which highlighted the extent of the digital divide and the need to increase digital skills.
To develop the project, we proposed to work along three lines: free access to a database of free software resources, a training environment for socio-cultural players, and regular publications to encourage change towards free software.
