COABE Celebrates 2023 Digital Inclusion Week October 2-6

The Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) kicks off October with a suite of resources and webinars devoted to digital inclusion. According to COABE, “National Digital Inclusion Week (DIW) is an annual week of awareness, recognition, and celebration. With support from COABE, members will have access to daily specialized programming, a social media toolkit, advocacy and awareness tools, and state of the art resources.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to use technology to live, learn, work, and thrive, and adult education reaches all of the covered populations under the Digital Equity Act and BEAD funding. We hope you will join us throughout the week to learn, share, network, advocate, and promote digital equity in your program and community!”
