This is why we have decided to share our experience with you and to draw on the experience of our colleagues in implementing educational programs and projects aimed at promoting the use of internet technologies. In addition, we want to know what large international organizations – ICANN and RIPE NCC – are doing in this area. Educating users and improving their digital literacy has become a general trend, because the internet’s main asset is not technology but people.”
