Equipping citizen from all background with relevant digital skills is a responsibility shared between governments, industry, academia, and individuals. Youngsters, often called digital natives are most concerned. They are regular users of technology but research shows that they often not have the relevant skills to be savvy or competent users. Furthermore as youth unemployment is a major issue all other Europe, mastering these skills is becoming critical to fill the huge gap created by the digital revolution.Fighting digital illiteracy is becoming crucial to reduce risks of social and economic exclusion created by the digital skill gap.Involving volunteers is an interesting way to contribute to reducing this major issue of today world. Volunteers can teach, show and tell but also inspire, motivate and therefore bring a different outlook than the one in provided in formal education.
