Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technologies Applied to Social Inclusion

Information technologies applied to social inclusion refers to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to promote social inclusion and remove social, economic and cultural barriers.

This involves using ICTs to improve access to public services, education, health care, culture, employment and training on equal terms for people or population groups that are vulnerable, such as people with disabilities, the elderly, immigrants or people with low economic resources, among others.

Information technologies applied to social inclusion can also be used to promote citizen participation, democracy and access to information and communication, as well as to create opportunities for social and cultural integration.

Information technologies can also be used to promote citizen participation, democracy and access to information and communication, as well as to create opportunities for social and cultural integration.

For example, some initiatives that use ICTs to foster social inclusion are digital literacy programs, which help people develop skills in the use of computers and the Internet, or online and distance learning projects that allow people to access educational programs from anywhere, reducing economic barriers.

This virtual academic program seeks to provide students with comprehensive training in information technologies applied to social inclusion. Students will learn about the basic concepts of social inclusion and its dimensions, along with social inclusion policies and programs. In addition, they will be taught about the use of ICTs in social inclusion, how to implement them in social inclusion initiatives, and the limitations and scope of ICTs in social inclusion. The program will also focus on the design and development of ICT applications and solutions for social inclusion. Finally, ethical and legal aspects of ICT applications and solutions for social inclusion will be addressed, along with corporate social responsibility and continuous evaluation of ICT solutions.
