CONNECTED Project. Connecting to the Disconnected

The pandemic caused by COVID19 had a disruptive effect throughout the planet, bringing to light the social, economic, and technological gaps that exist in current societies around the world, including such important aspects as connectivity (internet service) and education. Within the educational field, the closure of schools and colleges, as well as the lack of internet service in rural areas, prevented millions of children from continuing with their formal education. The CONNECTED project uses cutting-edge telematics tools and technologies to develop a communications system that allows delivering internet service to rural areas lacking this service; This, in turn, makes it possible for children and young people residing in these areas to continue with their formal education through tele-education processes.
