Punto Digitale
An experimental project offering free individual assistance to those who are unfamiliar with computers, mobile phones, tablets and the Internet in general. The special aspect of the project is the involvement of students enrolled in the Bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences at the University of Lugano in Switzerland. As digital assistants, students volunteer their time and help solve digital-related situations that can occur on a daily basis. In turn, students acquire training credits and practise communication skills that they also further develop during their studies.
