Collaborative reuse of digital devices to foster social justice & reduce environmental impacts in the City of Sant Boi de Llobregat
Category: Best Pratice
Partners:
– eReuse
– City of Sant Boi
The City Council of Sant Boi de Llobregat fosters the reuse of its out-of-use computing devices for children from low-income families, enabling them to participate in online distance learning – which is highly relevant as schools are closed due to COVID-19 and corresponding confinements. The project closes the digital divide for children in need and shapes a circular economy ecosystem that benefits local economic activities.
