Digistart is part of Wallonia’s Digital Inclusion Plan, which aims to reduce inequalities in access to and use of digital technologies.
Aimed at disadvantaged groups, this program offers a clear and accessible educational approach. Each participant learns how to use graphic design and web design software, such as Canva and Figma.
By focusing on the acquisition of technical skills in graphic design and web creation, Digistart contributes to the social and professional inclusion of individuals.
Thanks to a supportive learning environment, the Digistart training program enables participants to build confidence in their ability to use digital tools and overcome barriers that limit their access to job opportunities in the digital sector.
Digistart offers a program structured in several progressive modules to support participants in their digital learning.
This year, Digistart is expanding its offering with two separate courses dedicated to visual design: one on Canva, an accessible tool for easily designing attractive visuals, and the other on Figma, a more advanced solution for web or application interface design. These complementary courses allow participants to develop digital design skills that are suited to both personal and professional needs.
