Abstract
One of the pressing problems of the current time is the digital inequalities caused by the population's lack of technological knowledge and the accelerated technological transformation. These inequalities are increasing as the need for training for digital inclusion of the adult population. Concerned about the digital inequality of our region's adult population, Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão do Politécnico do Porto introduced an initiative, denoted Capacid@de Digital. This initiative helps to capacitate the adult population with the use of technology through a series of training actions. These training actions are guaranteed by students integrated into the institution volunteer network and supervised by the academic staff. The challenge proposed to our students allows them to gain a new set of competencies that would be otherwise hard to obtain at this point in their academic paths. In this paper, presents the characterization of the digital illiteracy of one the municipalities of the Portuguese region Tâmega e Sousa, namely Baião.
