Learning and Innovation Network (RIA)

RIA

The Learning and Innovation Network or RIA, is a project that annually impacts more than 100,000 people in 34 low-income communities in Mexico. The network focuses on an educational intervention model composed by infrastructure, training, analysis of learning patterns, connectivity and content creation. The Fundación Proacceso is a non-governmental organization in Mexico that has created the Learning and Innovation Network (RIA) in order to reduce the digital divide and provide educational tools in low-income areas of Mexico. Thus, the Fundación Proacceso has stablished the capacity building and ICT literacy as one of its main components of the RIA. At the RIA training centers, people from all ages can have access to quality educational content, lifelong learning and economic opportunities. The RIA seeks to empower people by promoting social and economic development through ICT. The training at the RIA seeks that children, youth and adults develop the capacities to analyze information, create new knowledge and innovate the traditional ways to do common activities.
