The Plan seeks to define a strategy for global digital literacy and training for the entire city of Barcelona for the 2010‐2015 period.

Mexico City

The "Actions for Inclusion and Equality in Education" Programme: The idea is to install community centres in the 160 micro‐regions identified that have the highest number of illiterate people in Mexico City. At the end of the 2011 fiscal year, 200 centres would be in operation. Regarding the installation of these community centres, priority will be given to the micro‐regions identified as having high illiteracy levels and other areas inhabited by persons with disabilities (hearing, visual, intellectual, movement, emotional), Indians (all Mexican indigenous groups), people living in the streets, vulnerable families, children and adolescents at risk or economically active, etc.
