Colectic SCCL

At Colectic, we work for social transformation through participation, learning and socialization of digital technologies. Colectic is a non-profit cooperative based in Barcelona. We want to transform society to all have a better life, using technologies in a critical and reflected way, fostering inclusion, autonomy and empowerment of people and communities around us. Our basic methodology has evolved from community work and community networks. We understand and include digital technologies as tools for participation, training and learning, always involving citizens in processes to improve and foster the community. Technology is a tool for facilitation and empowerment, to foster autonomy and equality, we promote universal access to digital technologies by training and assessment for groups and collectives in the Social and Solidarity Economy. Colectic was the first digital competence centre -at least- in Barcelona and Catalonia, and the starting point for the Catalan networks Punt TIC and Òmnia, the social inclusion strategy. We are an interdisciplinary team of educators, teachers, trainers, communicators, it specialists and project managers, working with public and private entities mostly in Barcelona and Catalonia.
