The Provincial Federation of Associations of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities of Seville, COCEMFE Sevilla, hosted the fifth and final face-to-face technical meeting of the European DigiBoost project at its premises on 20 and 21 October. The meeting focused on finalising the remaining technical aspects of the pilot phase and consolidating the progress made in developing tools to promote digital entrepreneurship.
After more than two years of European cooperation, the project has reached a decisive stage in evaluating the usefulness of the training materials developed, strengthening their potential as learning resources to improve digital skills and explore new career opportunities.
The DigiBoost training programme is structured around six main modules: introduction to digital entrepreneurship, digital marketing skills, innovative business development, financial fundamentals, social media management, and sustainable development and entrepreneurship in rural areas. These modules combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises based on real-life situations in today’s labour market.
As part of this validation phase, COCEMFE Sevilla launched a 45-hour pilot course last September, combining face-to-face training with independent learning through a virtual platform, to test the materials and gather direct feedback from participants. In addition, all the project’s educational resources are available online free of charge, making them accessible to a wider audience regardless of geographical location.
The meeting in Seville enabled the partner organisations to compare methodologies and coordinate outstanding technical tasks, highlighting how transnational cooperation enhances training tools and ensures their continued use beyond the project’s duration. For COCEMFE Sevilla, participating in initiatives such as DigiBoost represents a key opportunity to make digital skills more accessible to people with disabilities, promote their independence and reduce barriers to employment.
Alongside the technical working sessions, the meeting included a cultural programme that gave participants the opportunity to discover Seville’s history and heritage through a guided boat tour along the River Guadalquivir and a visit to the iconic Plaza de España and María Luisa Park.
With the conclusion of this final face-to-face meeting, DigiBoost moves towards the final consolidation of its results, reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to developing initiatives that transform digital knowledge into genuine opportunities for the future and professional participation.
